Is there a way to set combat to easy?

[Volkner]

I find the combat system completely unplayable, but aside from that, the game seems OK. I really could use an easy time with the combat.

I guess the Cheat mod would give you God mode when you cant handle the learning curb and training required. It can be a slow progress but thats the journey of KCD eventually you will get all the right weapons and armor training to be able to take on any bandits.
Cheat Mod on nexus, but remember once enabled your saves are tied to this mod so the only way back is make a backup of your saves before installing it. Disable cloud remote saves

I wasn't really looking for a cheat mode or mods, just a level setting.

Only hardcore afaik.
There is actually no way to change the difficulty other than to hardcore so you will have to go through the game as it is. You will go through a few crushing moments, but there’s nothing you won’t be able to overcome without proper preparation, finding good equipment, and practice. But cheat mod really helps to enjoy the perks of the game more XD
Meant to add definately get UNLIMITED SAVE mod

And Bow retical using cmd consol
wh_pl_showfirecursor 1 needs to be redone everytime though you start the game. I like having a crosshair to aim.

The game has been declared complete by the devs and no further updates will be forthcoming. With that in mind. the only way to tweak and tailor the game to your own play style is through the use of mods.

The two linked below are probably your best bets (one or the other):

It’s not unplayable, just a bit odd. Keep trying you’ll eventually get it. I’m in the same struggle right now.

It has a learning curve but I remember its about leveling up first. Stats are huge in this game, im redownloading because i feel like this adventure again. Start off gathering EVERYTHING build up your stats, go spar etc. You should have a few levels atleast in before you even attempt to fight anything. Eventually you'll be so strong it gets boring haha youll be like 'wow im a god now'

The normal play mode is 'easy.' There is another, 'hardcore' mode... avoid it.

What you need to do is focus on what the game tells you to do. If you pay attention to loading screens and in-game instructions, it's all there. You need patience and persistence and resolve... and a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

If you can't muster those characteristics, it's a rage quit waiting to happen. You could save yourself that turmoil by quitting now.

I did the alchemy grind right in the beginning. I can make the save potions, and they're cheap.

As far as combat goes, right now I'm choosing my battles very carefully. I've never been able to figure out how to get nexusmods to work.

I'm focusing on other things, hunting, stealth, etc ... Some of those other things also will help me with combat to. Hunting raises the bow skill also (and I think agility, not sure). Anyway, combat is starting to seem a bit easier, but I'm also trying to pick easier fights so I don't know. Running away is my favorite fighting style at the moment.

My computer loads everything too fast for me to be able to read those tips (there's a complaint everybody wishes they had). I did do the fighting training several times, but combat outside of training does NOT work the same way as it does inside the training.

It’s a bit like playing Fallout 4 on very hard. It starts annoyingly hard then eventually you level enough to compensate.

It’s just that early on you REALLY want to avoid highly armoured opponents. Your cheap weapons might not even do a dent in their armor.

When fast travelling think twice before skipping unless it’s an ambush. If the skip fails, you start in ♥♥♥♥ creek. If you scout it, you should be far enough to slip away unnoticed if it’s too bad.

But the combat becomes a hell of a lot more manageable once you get masterstrikes and get better with clinches. Those are what give your openings to attack

[Thermal Lance]

Example. Found a sword called stinger with very high stab damage. I fall back, wait for a guy to approach, charge forward to force him into a clinch, ♥♥♥♥♥ slap him back then stab him while he tried to recover.

That said the locking system is complete ass. Wait until you get a spearman running circle around you because the game seems to be self aware of that crap. Or being unable to run because the game keeps locking back to anything remotely close to your field of view.

The combat itself is fine. The problem is that this system, especially how locking is handled, really needs improving for the sequel.

You just don't understand it yet. For instance ...how can any opponent "run circles around you" if you are constantly moving? Or did you miss that vital game instruction that is repeated over and over again?

Also you can use the scroll wheel to change opponents.

If you're actively locking on (tab on m&kb, IIRC) you have to unlock to run. But in my experience, if you run, you die. "Not a good move."
