Playthrough sees me exploring more of the side missions. They are generally quite good - I didn't know it was possible to become master huntsman! Most of the activities are busywork - except for the bandit camps, which I like.
Combat is too easy for my taste later in game. I overdid with the buffs again and basically when I get attacked by two, I OHK the archer guy, turn around and see the other either fleeing or begging for mercy. (Which is probably kinda realistic considering my gear and progress)
However, ripostes auto-attack - seriously, I can't basically block anymore without hitting back. I'd just like to spar some dudes to rerfine my combos and skills, but they already die or give up after a few ripostes. Imo, the ripostes shouldn't auto-attack.
