And yes, TW3 is only really worth playing on Death March if you care about interesting combat.

Letho died, and in all playthroughs of TW3 I have imported that save, so I've never seen his cameo in TW3. Not a big miss as he was an ass anyway. Felt right to kill him after all the crap he did.
I was coming from different type of combat game, like Arkham series, Mad Max, Shadow of Mordor etc. Witcher games seem somewhere in the middle between mindless button smashing a la Arkham, and taking 4 hours just to prepare for a boss fight like Dark Souls.
Also being a full blown RPG makes the game flexible, as Pangea said if you collect lots of stuff you get massively overpowered by the end game, this problem also makes me remember of Valheim, if you upgrade all your armour and weapons you can tank the last boss easily. It's just insane in Valheim how much easier is defeating the final boss with all the upgrades maxed out.
I don't know how to explain it ... it has a steep start game learning curve, middle game is challenging and at end game you are on top of it dominating the situation, and you are like a little dissapointed that final bosses are so easy. (same happens with Valheim imho)

And here is the question - does anyone managed to run Witcher 2 on Steam Deck? Seems Virtual Programming port doesn't start, same if I force Proton Experimental or newest stable.
Any verified advice will be appreciated!

I haven't worked much with Proton, but there is protontricks apparently which can help setting up such override similiarly to how winetricks does it (it does use winetricks underneath).

I don't own a Steam Deck but If I had to hazard a guess as to why the native port isn't running is due to missing 32bit dependencies.
I think the Windows version would run better on the Deck than the native version could.
