If you're up against 5-6 people you're doing something wrong.
I got stuck in the prologue, around the balista there's 2 archers, about 3 normal troops, one guy with a shield, and a guy in full armour, I've tried loads of times, there's no real way to pull just 1-2, I can run up and kill an archer behind the barricades before they get to me but I still can't get past that section.
The only real time I've had issues is when you get in a position such that 3 or more enemies surround me and I can't get away without taking lots of damage.
Yeah this happens a lot in fights, the worst part is when Geralt hurls himself about 10m forward into a bunch of enemies and then gets raped for 50% of his health, doesn't seem to be any way to stop that.
Start with the weaker enemies and work your way up, using Quen and dodge to avoid taking damage.
But dodge doesn't evade damage, if they're already swinging then they're going to hit you regardless of if you dodge or not, block is faster but you can only block 1 direction and even then it doesn't seem to work well against multiple opponents so when fighting 5-6 it's useless, as you're blocking one, another hits you.
If this was the last 5% of the game then I'd understand it being more difficult, but right at the start of the game is moronic.
