Is anyone else being frustrated to hell and back when enemies us paralyzing attacks against you? Its so infuriating to watch your character just stand there like a drooling idiot while the enemy massacres you. I think this is a striking example of bad game design, its not acceptable to make a game harder by removing player control. You can have enemies do a ton of damage, use nifty special attacks and so on, but you just cant lock the player out of the game like this.
It was somewhat appropriate in games like BG, when you had wizards that could break paralysis, that was a strategic element. But the way witcher does it just sucks.
