The Witcher was a slight step up in complexity from the mindless auto-attack systems that are common in RPGs, and especially in MMORPGs. The only thing it added in was a rhythm game mechanic where you clicked the mouse once the cursor prompt appeared, and a dodge you would occasionally use to avoid getting mobbed. The only way to get confused by the controls was to not bother reading the tutorial messages in the prologue.
