I never was able to get the combat system at all. I resorted to bow and arrow for the entire game.
It takes a bit to get used to. The first thing I do on a new playthrough is go to train with Bernard right away until my sword skill is high enough. You can forget using the sword before that, it's a night-and-day difference. Once you get to the point where you're running around with a set of full armor, you're basically human tank. I actually killed the first boss in one hit once lol.
I think this was a lot of people's hangups, they expected a hack and slash, that leveled with you, instead they got a peasant for a main character who didn't know how to handle a weapon at all without actually training. Once you figured out how to train, it got a lot easier to fight.
Same experience as me! The power creep in KCD is hilarious. With good armour and a handful of perks unlocked, combat is a piece of cake and you can just spam parries, clinch, and headcracking.
For me that's the real flaw with the games combat system. It gets way too easy later on. The directional swings, combos, and watching your opponents moves carefully becomes redundant.
