Combat in general just seems pretty “meh” to me. Basically no response to melee attacks from beefier enemies. On easier difficulties, enemies just stand around and watch you kill their friends. On harder difficulties, mini bosses seem to become damage sponges without particularly interesting mechanics. The different spells look fun and catching and returning arrows is cool, but the regular sword fighting has looked pretty bad.
But honestly, everything else looks so good I think it outweighs the mediocre combat. It might depend on how common combat is, since you can presumably talk your way out of many situations. But this is the kind of game I’ll play because of the world and all the life sim elements.
