Are combos really this hard? What’s the point of a stylized combat system if you can’t pull off the moves? If you can’t do the moves then U are right back to a Skyrim-ish Rock-Em-Sock-Em-Robot Combat. I could see if a combo yielded a instakill but it doesn’t. And it certainly doesn’t help that 1/2 my consecutive hits get interrupted or miss. I just spent 3 days trying to learn reposts. I really thought the game would allow U to use the combos so I can finally enjoy the combat?!
The system helps you a little.
When its the right time to strike in a sequenc the direction or dot lights up for a sec.
Try time it on this.
If your oponent NPC is better then you,he will block your attempts quite effectivly. Try to learn one weapon. Dont try to be “Jack-of-all-trades”. Train with Bernard regularly. You will feel the power when reaching over level 10-12. I was also frustrated at the beginning and did almost complete first playline just fighting from horse and pinching arrows into enemies. With second playtime a did sword training first. Just passed battle of Pribyslavitze and Im allready at lvl 14 with sword. It really shows the difference. Now I dropped sword to secondary role and use mace&shield combo. I can tell you its hillarious and I love this “weapon system” 
If you train for a long time, you can even master a non-contact fight.
