Thanks, I’ll try that! (thought about it, but figured there was a reason why both weapons were in different hands (and, to be honest, I had already closed the game in frustration at that point…)).
So much this! My starting Vagabond is now at about lvl 20, and the game is clicking more and more. I’m beating dudes consistently that I could not beat when I started and am definitely beginning to get the hang of mounted combat! Went to beat some miniboss in a boat that way, in one go (!) and was ridiculously proud of that (even though I knew it was an easy boss: not much dodging involved). Then I moved forward to some castle with rats, skeletons and a dude with a kettle on his head and managed to clear that out in one go aswell, blocking and dodging my way through (only to find something I don’t know what to do with…). Both areas are probably very low lvl and easy for experts, but the sense of accomplishment for a newbie like me is enormous and I like that a lot so far!
