Are you yanking my pizzle?!

[CrowCawl]

How is it that swordplay feels more intuitive, natural, and alive in Hardcore than in Normal, with it's lack of combat indicators or help whatsoever? Fighting Hans in the beginning of my first Hardcore run, I can already tell it will be an exceptional dive into medieval life and the perils therein.

I can't wait to play more. What negative perks did you all pick? Are you enjoying the swordplay?
