Since I'm doing nothing but bitching anyway, I will also add that I don't find knocking out enemies that useful. Because for some reason that eludes me PB decided to give each enemy a free attack that I can't interrupt once it recovers. So I might get 2 or 3 swings in (of course rather weak ones because the real magic happens on the last few attacks in the chain) and then I have to dodge if I don't want to get hit.
So why should I knock down enemies again? They recover very quickly and I can't build up enough melee damage before they do. If I just keep them stunlocked but on their feet instead I can usually finish them off a lot faster.
At least that's how it is for human enemies and many animals and monsters. Not all of them can be stunlocked though.
Yeah, like Tigranes advised, you have to time that attack on the floored enemy as well. If you hurry up with the clicking, the enemy will get some instant recovery attack like you mention. But if you wait it out till he's ready to go back up anyway, you can get a free heavy hit in, without him retaliating.
Finally got on the Incline train, btw.
Really like the game so far.
But I do share some criticism that early game could do with a few more options. The "beginner" weapons for example. They seem to be mostly aesthetic differences between them. The Rusty Hatchet could be slightly better then the bent pipe and the broadsword could be significantly better. Meanwhile my character is level 6 I think, and he's yet to be eligible for any upgrade. Probably will qualify for the Hatchet next level, but it's hardly a huge upgrade (can be meaningful though).
Equipment upgrades in general could be spread a bit more throughout the game, rather then be lumped in 4 (generously speaking) tires.
Two handers also require too much Dexterity for my taste. Yeah, maybe I'll get that Dex eventually anyway. But I'd rather pursue a combat style throughout the game rather then switch late in the second half. I guess I will go with warhammers and greataxes instead. Hope they are good, though I've read about some issues with greatax animations not connecting. Is that true?
Also will I regret not joining Berserkers if I'm swinging a heavy two-hander? I rather like the "techy-sci-fi" look of Clerics and their arms.
