Combat system against multiple enemies

[Slick]

Trash.

[Osiris Zoran]

Don't fight multiple enemies or force them to fight you in a cramped area. Your character is a blacksmiths son with little combat training within the first few hours of the game you expect to take on multiple trained heavily armored soldiers? lol

What would reality look like:

You start a fight with 3 men at once. You are dead! End of story. Enemies are well trained soliders, not stupid orcs.

[Mikune Folf]

Could you beat 4 heavily armed soldiers IRL - all at once, with only your fists or a butter knife? Didn't think so.

[Ordinary Dark]

go back to witcher 3 and enjoy mouse click spam

We all know you just cant fight 4 heavy armed soldiers but it is really trash to fight even against two rather weak opponents because the targeting systems is just one big mess

exactly, even if u are heavy armored, u can still lose to two bandits.

[Skorgo]

yes agreed but you should loose because of your skill and not because you couldnt switch between the enemies because of this annoying auto focus

The combat system sucks unless conditions are perfect.

So 1v1 with lots of space and room to manuever.

In all other cases it's subpar.

you can beat up to 4 people in combat it's doable, but the combat vs mutiply people does need work, they need to change it so it auto locks to the person attacking you, and change it so you can menually dodge when ever you want. then it will be fine.

Easy peasy, use bow. Kite them and try to hit the head. Killed multiple enemies by just using the bow and if you hit the head straight on, they immediately go down. Might get patched but that may take weeks so you can probably enjoy cheesing them like this for a while.

Two is not (two ) bad, just kill one with the bow as they come at you it will stagger him 2 or 3 shots max, pot shot the second and as he recovers take out your melee weapon and have at thee.

hahaha. In real medieval fight, would you try to fight against more enemies alone, really? :D Never fight alone against more then one, two maybe. In Medieval fence combat you most probably die against 2 and more, if they are in full armor you die almost definitely no matter you do. Think like you are in Medieval Age, not like you are sitting in 2018, playing Fantasy game and kill dozens of enemies ;) Not a problem...that is called Reality check ;)

In the medieval age if you died you were dead for good.

By your logic if you die once in the game it should be over because reality.

uhhhh do people not relies you can switch targets on the fly?? like hello?. lock onto a target bash him around a bit then by default either mouse scroll up or down and you will switch to the nearest target allowing you to block his swings

cheese kinda stops working later on when you go up against full armoured guys with sheilds they will catch you and slap you around if you're not shot full off arrows first xD I mean it still works but it's not as well
