It's interesting to read how someone struggles with combat in this game when I feel that it's quite easy, especially with master strike. As I play through hardcore I find looking at their shoulders to be very easy way to read their att𒈔acks. I personally want combat to be more difficult, I have played with mods that make enemies and the player swing faster making for burst of combat. As for multiple targets it is hard, especially with no indication that someone is swinging but I found listening and just keeping them in a good spot makes it still possible.
