I had started a playthrough just prior to the 1.3 patch, and in that one, I get random bandit attacks, but no encounters with knights trying to duel, or peasants wanting bandages, or merchants selling stuff and so forth. I started another playthrough day before yesterday, and in that one, I have had no encounters whatsoever. I tried installing two mods from nexus that were supposed to increase the amount of bandit attacks, but neither worked. At least I can finally use riposte though. That is one problem fixed. I just hope the next patch does not introduce a whole host of new problems.
Lol even this did not work for meā¦
(the perks get added yet I canāt perform them, never. Tried anything from blocking early - right on time - late)
Guess iāll just have to be patient for the next patchā¦
Edit: shortswords with or without shields do not work. Longswords do.
Thatās quite odd. It worked for everyone else as I know of. Well let us just hope of a stable patch this time to fix the issue!
I got it fixed. I had to reinstall the game + mod to get it working. 
Good to hear Baron!
Have fun riposting all day!
So, no solution without a mod?
Christ man, this new studio is a joke, the way they run this game.
