Come back to Risen 1 recently, and ah... the joy of combat.
I don't complain about the initial difficulty per se, but there are a number of annoying aspects that are pushing me to stop playing.
Just a summary, of what I found so stupid, that is fun, sometimes:
* Animals make some dodges (?) that border the teleportation. You are in for the perfect side strike when... puff, they are just behind you. And hit you so well...
* Enemies often time their perfectly to strike you that instant you nearly strike them, and you are helpless (this seems to happen randomly)
* Ok, you need to corner animals to avoid backstep, but when they are near a wall, you litterally end up into them. Miss them and they start attacking you.
* Hit boxes are just... crap
* Enemies have these kind of movements that remind of the "the ring" movie: they go from one stance to the other, so fast that it border the ridiculous
* How come you can't buy armors... that's just so ... annoying... and you have to pay for that, even after doing everything for one faction or the other. God...
