Play on hard, and reload a few times, but get a much better experience where you have to actually parry and counter thrusts etc. You feel like you're accomplishing something rather than grinding to get to the next point-n-click-adventure-game bit.

Pretty good actually! Rather smooth, with some rare stuttering. I can't help wondering if some setting isn't actually enabled.
In terms of difficulty, after immediately dying in the first mission I switched to easy and have been limping my way through the game. I've never played anything like this before, so I'm taking my time.
The game is rather pretty, though not as polished as I had hoped. No support for interface scaling, pop-in, and anti-aliasing being a single toggle. Also, while I can disable the HUD (Awesome!), I cannot access my inventory or character stats at the same time. Still a great game. I got in an argument with a guard and a sassy prositute told him she knew how little balls he actually had. Love it.

The game seems slightly imbalanced to me. Regular foes and minibosses are absurdly easy. Endrega Queens, Wraiths, even Kayran, are easy. But I reached the first fight with Letho and I'm stuck. My attacks are too weak, thus the fight takes long and sooner or later I make some stupid mistake and get hit seriously - from then it's just the spiral downward.
It's comparably bad to the first boss fight in Deux Ex HR and in huge contrast to Dark Souls, where regular foes can be as deadly as bosses.

Ah, and surely import your end game save from TW1. Raven's Armor is pretty neat.

I've found some pretty sweet mods myself. Better textures, a more advanced HUD, and even interface scaling.
On a final note, after playing at 720p and then switching back to 1080p, I can say that it's just as smooth at either resolution. Which is a great departure from when my games ran like crap at any resolution.

First of all, those textures absolutely tanked my performance. That said, they are freaking gorgeous, so overall a fair trade. I turned down a few settings and barely even noticed a difference.
The other mods are a bit hit and miss, which is most likely my own fault.
Finally, let me just say that this game is awesome! I can barely pull myself away long enough to play anything else. A definite must buy for anyone.

Yes, and if you didn't play the first yet - play it as well (Wine). I like it even more.
