This is my rant. Criticize away

How can you shoot a guy with ten arrows yet he runs around like nothing is happening? Then, mercenary archers absolutely never miss. The combat is a little frustrating.
Lock picking is weird as shit to me. (Console).
Some quests are a tad too tedious. Just my opinion.

Lockpicking is a personal skill, not a Henry skill. I find it fine.

Tedious quests? - fuck the monestary.

People running away for miles after being presumably severely wounded, couldn’t agree more.

As for the mercenary archers, try weaving

I tried moving side to side. Damn arrow hits no matter what I do. And not the running away part. I don’t even have a sword yet and I’m shooting people point blank with a bow. I put 10 arrows in one guy and he attacked like nothing happened. I can sometimes get a headshot. But it’s luck really.
I’m trying to be a straight shooter so I’m not really skilled in lock picking. But I tried to learn and I broke the damn thing every time.
I was doing good being an honest good guy but that Stephanie whore tricked me. I kinda thought they’d give you a different option after you put her dads shirt on. Oh well, she’s a skank!

I’m no criminal either, but it’s a handy skill. I don’t commit crimes.

I have an issue with archers killing their own buddy before I get the chance to do it. If you position yourself so the melee fighter is between you and the archer, the archer will try to shoot through his buddy.

If they have a lot of armor, use Armor Pericing arrows. Realisticlly even 1,000 pound force crossbow shots have problem getting through the plate armor with all of the chainmail and padding. If anything the enemy would just be slightly brused.
