Why you couldn't use Fast style on stronger opponents. You used Fast style to counter mobile/agile opponents because you had to, but the trade-off was less damage. When the enemy had no finesse and just came at you (big thugs with axes that relied on brute force rather than technique), or wasn't very mobile (e.g., echinops), you could use Strong style more easily. If you could handle it (i.e., skilled because you developed your Attack rating), then you could still land hits and you could inflict heavy damage. When the enemy was very mobile, it is harder to hit them with your slower but more powerful swings of 'Strong' style. It was about the enemy combat style relative to you. What vanilla Witcher did with styles was not really about armored or unarmored, Strong or Fast (they are just crude names for the two styles). But armor couldn't reliably stop a gunshot so armor fell out of vogue. It did NOT stop them from wearing armor to protect critical locations because armor still works.

This is why duelists and swashbucklers used rapiers and foils. That results in a faster kill or at least a fatal wound. When you fight relatively unarmored opponents, you use a light weapon and fast technique not because heavy weapons were obsolete but because it is more efficient to score a critical effect like a thrust to the heart or neck. And you use a specialized weapon when the enemy is helpless and completely unable to defend, like a misericord through the eyeslit of a helmet. That lets you score some sort of harmful effect past their armour. When you fight armored opponents (whether their armor is plate armor or thick hide), you need armor-piercing or concussion attacks-Meaning half-swording techniques, powerful crossbows, military picks, maces, flails, etc.

It is my understanding that historically, knights switched to two-handed weapons because they needed that extra power to penetrate increasingly heavy armor until widespread use of gunpowder rendered armor obsolete. If this is a reasonable way of fighting, then knights would have been carrying rapiers and swashbucklers would have been carrying claymores. Fast is completely counter to how fighters fight historically. Granted the vanilla game was weird compared to the documentation (you use Strong style against half naked thugs?), but this FCR explanation for when to use Strong vs.

This makes me think the mod isn't properly thought out. Style consists of quick, precise hits aimed at unprotected spots. Steel, scales or chitin armour, strength does not matter anymore. It is useful forДЇighting monsters where a lot of strength is needed to pierce their toughДЇast - used in fighting armoured opponents. Strong - used mainly in fighting unarmoured opponents. I practically only stood still, they both kill themselves on Yrden. On the other hand, maxed Yrden is useful against Grand Master and Wild Hunt King. Saw no chance of killing them so I blew them up: 5 Dragon dreams did the trick. PS Zuegl and Lilly seem very hard on hard/witcher.

Why the interdependence between dexterity and strength on lvl 5? That way you force to upgrade them both, limiting build varietyвЂ¦.invulnerability), the game seems hardly beatable without itвЂ¦ So why just not leave it as isвЂ¦ I one-shotted Dagon with the yrden sign: had magic powerup, yrden powerup and potion sign powerup.Journal on monsters has a double entry for archespore.The quest stays there until the end of the game. After you finish it, and speak with Leuvaerden, the quest will be opened again, but the informant will already be dead. If you speak with Jehro this will start the quest. вЂњFollowing the threadвЂќ quest is broken.2 livers for slaying a wolf seems a bit unbalanced.But there is no in-game way to differentiate. Bottles of water: there are apparently 2 types in the game as they donвЂ™t stack.Thank you again for your kind assistance!

No offense meant to anyone!Д«efore I go, do you think that I should try redownloading Witcher from GOG? How likely is it that a small download glitch might've spoiled the proper operations of this mod? I don't care anymore how breathtakingly awesome looking or 'cinematic' a title is, the gameplay is all important to me, and rail-shooters are just.boring torture fests to me. Black Mesa looks AWESOME, and feels authentic, BUT after a few hours of playing it, I was reminded of why I loathe rail-shooters. I reinstalled H-L2 for the Black Mesa mod. If more develops, then I'll uninstall Half-Life 2 and the Black Mesa mod which will give me PLENTY of room for Witcher again. Had to make room for the latest beta test build of the Misery mod for Call of Pripyat. I'd like to check for the map files, but I already uninstalled the game. I did exactly that (my version of the game is through GOG as well).
