Fighting

[I Hate Sewers]

Anyone else think this game contains the worse fighting mechanics ever?! Ever! Swear it is like you'd rather be a human than a vampire since they apparently are so easility to kill. Literally when facing the Vampire Hunter he can literally chop you up with just 3 hits with his sword as I only do 100 dmg to him at a time.

Clearly you never played bloodborne.

Game's combat is clearly inspired by Soulsborne games. It's supposed to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult, there's no other way around it.

It gets way easier as you rank up your skills and abilities. Eat some people, get swole.

No doubt that was supposed to mean something, maybe try real words next time. :P

The level scaling in the game is all out of whack, so be certain to check the levels of creatures before you engage them. When in combat, use stealth to get the first attack when you can and then be sure to use your dodge and self healing power. Stun weapons are very useful, as they allow you to feed regularly throughout the fight, which is the best way to recover your stamina; it is also useful to carry a couple stamina consumables for when you're just having no luck. Be sure to improve your HP and Stamina early in the game so you can both take and give more in combat.

Also, if you're only fighting one foe, be sure to use your target lock, as that will make dodging and striking a lot easier. If you have multiple foes, hit hard and fast, the enemies don't appear to target you when you're feeding, so feel free to feed on anyone you've stunned during combat.

Space bar is your best friend.
Learn to read there movement, dodge out of the way(move+ space bar)
Dodge, hit, dodge, Repeat until dead.
This works on all enemies in the game.
The game gets very tedious because of it.
You arent fighting the npc.
You are enduring the grind.
Dodge, sting, dodge.
Repeat every single fight.
Made 1 mistake?
Have to redo the entire fight.
Yeah i am not having fun.

I mean there's a specific niche of gamer that enjoys this kind of challenge so maybe it's just not your thing at all.

Yeah, I groan every time I see combat ahead - it's not super difficult if you're within a few levels of the target but it's tedious and not particularly enjoyable. Amusing how the pace of the game ensures that you probably won't notice how bad combat sucks until you've passed your two-hour mark for refunds.

I know.
I am not saying it is bad.
Just tedious.
I am currently stuck on mary(i can get her to 25% health before the death flowers kill me.)
I am going to slaughter gaurds of pwir to get upgrade's for my weapons and see if i can get more sheild power.
She isnt hard to kill but those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ flowers makes dodging her a pain in the behind.

Welcome to modern games.
Reminds me of shadow of war.
The higher level you got the more you noticed how horrible the targeting system was.
Also orcs being immune to 90% of your attacks and the remaining 10% isnt in the throne room..... I am gratefull there is a 10% chance a random npc will one shot who is killing me or i would have never got passed that boss.
