I can do the description bit now and I’ll try send you a video and/or Saved game after work. From posts elsewhere it seems to happen with lots of 1v1 fights (e.g. Ser Ulrich, Potentially the first Fight v Runt too when he has a club) but to just get you started with “decription where this is happening” here are two easy locations:

  • The Fight with Runt at the top of the church in “Baptism of Fire”.
  • Training Fights at the Arena in Pribyslavitz.

In neither case does your opponent ever attack you (beyond the odd master strike in response to your own attacks), they’re content to defend and circle you.

Does he attack with a bow equipped or if you stop moving altogether?

#35

i have never tried to use a bow against him but i can confirm he does not try to attack if you just stand still

Sent you a personal message with Google Drive links to two saved Games to help you test this, hope this helps and that you can access things! :slight_smile:

Should be easier then?

#38

not necessarily, before you could hit him after performing a master strike on him but now that is impossible as he never strikes.
you can still hit him after a clinch but they have tweaked clinches to make it possible to master strike directly after
you can always zone swap but its not as reliable

#39

I find it harder actually, unless you cheese him with a bow.

He won’t use his stamina by attacking you so basically, he is alway at full stamina, ready to absorb damage or master strike/riposte you.

Yeah combat has gotten more annoying than difficult, I basically just resort to clinch spam and poking everything to death now. Otherwise fights get so drawn out because enemies refuse to initiate, and riposte like 85% of the time you swing or stab at them.

I’m having the same issue. It’s so bad that in Talemberg I can attack the guards and just stand there as 7+ guards circle around me not attacking.

#42

Was this supposed to have been fixed? I’m updated to the most recent version and I’m still having the same issues. No enemies will attack me unless they are using a bow. I took out a whole bandit camp near skalitz with my fists, it’s silly

Enemies with bows work fine. However, ones with melee weapons quickly T-pose when they try to attack, then go back to circling.

#44

Bump. Any update?

#45

This issue should have been fixed in the last update. Patch notes reference something in regards to like “Increased aggression of NPC’s including Runt” So they should initiate more often against the player and not just sit their defending/riposting everything.

#46

Should have been, but I’ve updated my game and still have the same issue

#47

You sure you have the latest patch and that you don‘t play with too old mods?

Because for me and many others the patch fixed this issue.

I’m not running any mods. I actually reinstalled the game overnight and I’m still having the same issue. I verified my version number is showing 1.8.2. I also still have an issue with stealth kills/knockouts, where it happens instantly. Here’s a video of the stealth bug:

As for may, 16th of 2019 the bug is still exist. And it happened suddenly - now I am invincible, but the fun started to fade. Any solution for now?

Nice. I like it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Well, don’t know how common is this, but once such thing happened in my game too. I payed a visit to the camp of high level bandits and one of them got up. I chose to run, but he kept being right behind me, not allowing to somehow change this situation. Ok, we stopped in the field, and I decided to try fighting him tet-a-tet right under the moon. He was obviously good in combat and better armored to I decided to place my bet on master strikes at least in the beginning.

After couple of minutes of dancing around each other I understood that my plan has failed. He wasn’t attacking. Sure, he parried, beat me in the face during clinch, stuff like that, but he definitely wasn’t going to give me window for return strike. So I had to run all the way to Sasau, having him right behind me, trying to get some distance to call the horse and turn the uneven fight in equally uneven race of mounted archer and plate-armor swordsman.

I can’t say, that is a “bug”, just seems like AI needs some tweaking in it’s combat strategy.
