spent hour clearing an area only to use my last flask by mistake with full health going into second to last fight and then end up with about 10% health on the final enemy. walked up to him and he turned at the exact time I tried to backstab which then missed and he hit me while I was still stuck in the attack animation and good night me. I'd purposely approached him so I was on the edge of the camp if (when) I died so I could go grab my shit when he was at other end of his patrol path and no other enemies were in that area.
finding it a little baffling how some of the core game mechanics are being drip-fed considering its an open world game. if you don't do one specific thing or go to a specific site of grace you might play for hours without unlocking a really important mechanic. I finally found the place that lets me spend runes to level up, got my ghost horse and a few other things after at least 3-4 hours of tooling around doing mostly nothing. did a bit of exploring and found a ton of areas i have no intention going near for about another 10 hours of play.
also horse combat is impossible. i struggle hitting the skulls with items in stationary on the ground. trying to kill a soldier on horseback got my head caved in even faster than normal. nice to be able to move around quickly though.
settling into it now.
