I am a big fan of the KCD combat system in general, however switching enemies inside the soft-lock system is one area, where I feel it falls a bit short. Trying to switch targets can be a bit tricky sometimes. When you are fighting multiple enemies, they constantly shift arround and when, for example, some enemy charges you from the side, you might not be able to quickly switch focus to him, since you are still locked to the other guy and there might be some other enemies in between, which will only slow down the switching process. In such situations I find the switching is just too slow and awkward, most of the time it takes multiple tries to switch to the enemy you wanted, sometimes it doesnt switch at all, and by the time you finally manage, you have probably already gotten hit.
So I propose to add an additional option that would allow you to switch to the enemy that is closest to you at the moment. Now it would take a press of a single button, instead of trying to hectically figure out how to navigate between the enemies, using the next/previous opponent option (the next/previous switch options would still remain, of course, I am not suggesting removing them).
I think implementing this solution, would largely resolve the issue, at least for me. What do you think?
