I agree with you. The combat is fun when you are fighting one enemy but if it is two it is so clunky and awkward. There are so many things in this game that just make it boring and time-consuming for example it does not quick save. During the main battle that I am stuck on, I forgot to sleep before the battle, I also found the ancient treasure map locations before the battle and after the scouting save. this means I have to go back to the old save, redo the scouting mission find the ancient treasure then sleep and do the battle all because there’s no quick-saving ffs.
Saving is fuck up and like seriously can’t do shit in combat when you have 5 men against 1 of you and striking all at once even when you have most skilled level in sword-fighting and warefare. Game need to get rid or update the combat system or riot.
Have you lost your mind? You really expect a developer to change their combat system post launch? Patently absurd. Adding some additional save options I can see but come on man.
Training, Training, Training. Not only yourself but especially your ingame character. Henry is introduced as total noob when it comes to swordplay (and not only that), so you need to reach a decent level. “5” seems in most cases a reasonable threshold to begin with.
Things will get much easier then, believe me.
You are really expecting to go against 5 people? You are not superman lol

So, you want the developer’s to just remove combat, like that? And how do you think that would happen? Just go into some random file and delete the game’s combat, is that how you think this all works? I’d love to see how you view the world.
As for the refund, did they compel you to buy the game with some kind of supernatural force? Did you not watch the hundreds of videos demonstrating the combat? Exactly how have you been wronged - outside of freely making your own decisions with your money - namely to buy the game and deal with the consequences ? Do you think it’s fair for a man to buy a horse then demand a refund when he sits on it and it cannot fly?
If your attitude was a bit more mature I’d actually treat you less like a kid and more like an adult, but judging from your replies, I’m quite happy knowing you are out of $60. I hope it’s a nice life lesson for you - you need them.

Hey man do not be so condescending, you do not even know the guy he is just venting his frustration.
I’m not being condescending. However if he wished to come onto a forum and vent by shouting nonsense, then attacking anyone who tries to say otherwise by telling them "Screw off alterante account 
"
or “Lol, you never played the game so shut up ”
Don’t you think that’s a bit much? Do you think this warrants mutual respect, when he clearly shows none for anyone else?

I agree @mercuito. People need to get better at combat by practicing. Thats how you get better at anything right? As far as the game saves go the savior schnapps is the first recipe learned in alchemy and can be brewed with common mats. So you can make a huge supply and then save whenever you want anyways. So what are people so upset about?

WRONG. Combat system is unfair to those who are new at it and just in it for RPG not getting frustrated upon getting a unfair 6 v 1 fight against AI. You=Paid bot.
ALSO we need quick save so we don’t have to issues like game frozen then restart all of the way from rattaway so fix this this shit and make this game more better because so far it’s a disappointment to actual game lovers than Templars wannabes.
DO realize they can easily update a patch to remove such event which is why most games are put on sudden platforms and allowed to change few stuff which good example: Halo 5 which they place in new maps and gadgets and armor.
I agree with the auto save but leave the combat system as it is! It is completely perfect and if you get killed a lot of times then spend an hour or two at the arena with Bernard and level your characters (and players) fighting skills! After doing that and getting good equipment every normal enemy will fall with 1-2 blows. The character progression regarding combat is just perfect and Warhorse Studios should never change it!

What? Unfair to those who are new at it?? Everyone was new at it when game came out. The difference seems to be that either you are a troll or you dont have any patience to learn new stuff. Don’t get into 1v6 fights or if you absolutely have to (26h in and havent had to fight 1v6) take some out by stealth/nonstealth archer kills and then finish the rest.
Combat is fine. Actually more than fine. One of the most exciting combat systems there is in my opinion.
Also, you can “quicksave” with snapps. And dont start with the “its too expensive” since maintaining armor and buying new pieces costs way more. You should always have money for snapps even by just doing some sidequests. Some of them pays for thousands

I’d be perfectly fine with the save system so long as black screens, errors, and crashes don’t remove my progress. I’ll say that much.
Also to start with your post, the very definition of this game is to be historically accurate. You can’t come onto their forums and claim that the combat is ‘less fun’ because it adheres to traditional medieval warfare (Swordplay, archery, etc.)
No, the game is nothing like Dark Souls. I would say Dark Souls is about unrealistic as you get with its combat. If you’re comparing it for difficulty - then it is null to be fair. If you read down below plenty of people have said that you must train to get better - just like in real life, some people have natural talent… but in order to perfect it you must train. I’m pretty sure even Captain Bernard TELLS you this in-game.
You purchased the game, knowing what it was going to be so it is only your fault for putting your self in this predicament. Also, just to clarify on behalf of the AI fighting. There is DRASTICALLY and OBVIOUSLY differen’t AI’s that vary immensely in ability. Just like it should be – Bandits aren’t going to be led by a guy who can’t fight.
Where is ‘everyone’ hating on it as well? From what I’ve seen, it’s received praise; and since ‘everyone’ includes me – I daresay you’re speaking on my behalf which I don’t appreciate.
Finally to address your last bit, stop being so immature. They had alphas, betas, and videos for -ALL- to see AND experience the combat. Yet you still purchased it. You made your bed now lie in it.

Just a side note as well. Saying that a 6v1 is unfair, is true. But who is MAKING you fight that? This reminds me of a different community where they thought if you’re in a fight - you have to fight, and if it’s unfair or overpowered they’d complain to have it nerfed or ‘removed’ in your case.
You literally can run away from fights. Have you just tried being -tactical- about the situations you get into? No one is MAKING you fight six guys.

Completely agree. The combat system is one of the many unique parts of the game.
To avoid getting killed, train. I’ve gotten killed plenty and working to improve.
I’d personally disagree with a difficulty setting but I understand your point. For me, one even playing field makes for a better player or they will go back to a safe place. Truly unique games aren’t for everyone.
