How is the combat compared to other open world RPGs?
In the first 15 hours I'm fighting mainly with Sword + Pistol.
(You can't join any of the factions much faster)
What I'm missing is the variety of combat tactics you
a) can use
b) need to use
a) maybe this will be better later in the game (spells, more moves,...)
b) I'm killing the biggest bad ass monsters (Shadow Lords, Swamp Trolls, etc. ) already with melee and health on 40 and standard gear. There's really no need for stealth, spells, ranged or special attacks.
Info: I'm playing with henchmen and normal difficulty.
I'll try the hard difficulty setting soon, but I fear that the combat will only take longer and won't be more interesting/challenging.
So I'm enjoying the quests and the exploration and click the enemies to death
