Odd, I was certain I had replied.

I wish anyone was capable of articulating what was so problematic about Gothic's combat, because noone seems capable of giving any reason why hitting two keys is complex or anything.

Morrowind is a game where hitting a bug - or rat - really is a problem early on, and it's so infuriating because there is nothing you can do about it. Your character has low skills, so you have to keep pressing the mouse button until you pass your ToHit check. It's kinda strange though, I've played enough other RPGs that with that mechanic and rarely had so many misses unless with a lvl1 wizard using an axe.

The combat in Gothic 2 was okay if you did what I did, try to cheese it with bow shots and then just smash Left and Right and the attack button as fast as possible and you'd do the quick slashes left and right and eventually get a critical and win.

hahaha, the way you described it, it actually sounds bad.

there's slightly more to Gothic's combat than smashing the attack button as fast as possible. it's not incredibly deep, but not a simple matter of mindlessly clicking away either.
