Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a lot of fun, until the very first time you have to fight more than 1 person. The combat system is horrendously designed, and apparently they fixed it in 2 by just nerfing enemies.

    Ah man, I felt the same way until I really put in the effort to learn it properly, and it finally clicked. Fighting more than one person is meant to be almost impossible to win. It forces you to choose your fights more carefully when you're outnumbered as you would in reality, or at least use your brain to reduce their numbers or isolate them before taking them on. Or even just get really good at lining them up so you're only fighting one at a time, as you would probably do if ever you fought two people in real life.

    I think I've only once won a fight against three. When I see four I just turn away automatically.

    Yeah. There was one quest early on where you go hunting with a partner. He ends up kidnapped by bandits and you can sneak in or kill the bandits to rescue.

    I think I wasn't supposed to kill them all but I was strategy with fighting them while separated or using obstacles to bottleneck a 1v1.

    Didn't know I could stealth in until my wife did the same mission and she snuck in...

    Hmm, ok, I appreciate that. I suppose I could try again. I really did want to love the game, and I did until rage quitting.

    But I think it was an artificial difficulty because of the first person view. Humans can turn their heads without turning their whole bodies, and have peripheral vision. First person games eliminate that. That's why 3rd person is more realistic in that sense, it's closer to how we actually perceive reality.

    I really like the idea of the game until the first combat and I was like WTH is this and stopped playing.

    I do like the idea of more realistic sword fighting, and I got the hang of it early on, but I don't really consider 1st person view to be more realistic than 3rd. 1st person video games rob you of peripheral vision and awareness of your surroundings that real people have. People have necks that can twist without the feet following suit. Games don't.
