Duels really undermine the whole idea of the game

[Mr Fantastic]

No skills or abilities, that's some BS, to be trampled by some blind dude in a cave non stop because I can't use anything else than the slowpoke awful melee

Enemies get super speed, block almost everything, pass through your defense easily, and they even force you to die several times until you get the option to retreat, what a massive pile of ****

Cherry on top it resets the quest right to the start and no option to skip.

Git gud?

Oh no, having a tough time with the hardest duel in the game eh? Really undermines the whole idea of learning how to play the game by that point.

duels have nothing to do with the rest of the game, it forces you to use the horrible melee combat without any of your skills, great spoiler btw, so the darth vader wannabe is the hardest enemy in the game? That's some lame quest line then.

Perfect Parry, Perfect Dodge, Heavenly Strike, and Dance of Wrath are not abilities? Same with Ghost Stance, no? All you need is to learn their moveset and outplay them without your usual crutches.

How is it spoilers, you went into the expansion area which states at the beginning that it has the hardest enemies in the game and you are doing the mythic quest line, why wouldn't he be hard? There is nothing lame about it, he's hard by design as he's essentially a post main game duel. Odds are you have at least 30 hours in the game by this point and have access to the abilities that Prince said, plenty to adapt.

I like duels personally. The whole honor / no honor thing is kind of odd, but I enjoyed all the duels in the game for the most part. Does kind of seem odd that you can't at least use the fire weapon ability though.

No, they don't.

I like how none of these comments get what you mean.

Bro is trying to say, there is no reason for our dude, THE SAMURAI WHO SNEAKS AROUND, to 1v1 a guy in the current game.

Our dude's ENTIRE STORYLINE is him going, wow, I probably shouldn't put myself at a disadvantage for no reason, and then duels make it so you put yourself at a disadvantage for no reason.

like, let me throw Kunais or sticky bombs mid-duel, and pull out my bow to shoot him in the knee! my character is a bastard, let me be a bastard. not that hard.

This game is total BS, you can go into the DLC right after act 1 but the game forces you to basically finish the DLC to be able to come back.

The duel bosses of the DLC take like 50 attacks to die, but can kill you in 2 attacks, and are way faster than you. Makes a lot of sense.

That's some Stockholm fantasies right there, so the player who choose to specialize on the bow and ghost weapons are forced into combats that require skills they don't even have?

And we can't even travel back to get those and other gear? This game makes ubisoft games look amazing by comparison.

You were given a warning that you should proceed with the dlc later, and that you wouldn't be able to come back to the main land right away. Just do a couple of the main quests for iki island and you will open up a route back to the main land.

A bunch of ticks would be more helpful than the community of this trash game. *shrugs*

No I was not, I was given a warning the content there would be hard, NOTHING about not being able to come back.

My sword is missing only a single level, how can it take 50 attacks to bring down a duel boss? With the ronin armor, and 3 charms of melee damage. Like Whut
