    I never was able to get the combat system at all. I resorted to bow and arrow for the entire game.

      It takes a bit to get used to. The first thing I do on a new playthrough is go to train with Bernard right away until my sword skill is high enough. You can forget using the sword before that, it’s a night-and-day difference. Once you get to the point where you’re running around with a set of full armor, you’re basically human tank. I actually killed the first boss in one hit once lol.

        I think this was a lot of people’s hangups, they expected a hack and slash, that leveled with you, instead they got a peasant for a main character who didn’t know how to handle a weapon at all without actually training. Once you figured out how to train, it got a lot easier to fight.
