Please make the parrying mechaninc more rewarding to use, it's so hard to pull off and offers very little benefit for a lot of risks, especially when one could simply use a shield or do hit-and-run instead... Also, the sound of the bard instruments is really low, can barely hear them :(
it's like if those ""friendslop"" type games was actually good & you could play it solo and it was also still good
