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.

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.
