haha go back and try Gothic 1 again then complain about 3 lol. Oh, foe isn't directly in front of me, can't hit them, but they can hit me. Foes can block, even when attacking you. Enemy gets to your side of back = your dead since you can't turn while blocking, at all, and blocking doesn't protect your sides and back. Many times your swinging with foes right in front of you, and just swish swish swish as they hit you and your dead. A lot of foes just ignore you blocking and kill you anyway. Basically 1 enemy usually is ok, but multiple at once, your toast, period. Reload and try again for the 10th time.
