Can anyone teach me how to combat in this game?! It is so difficult!!
The combat system is actually pretty simple, it can seem daunting at a glance, but it's just a puzzle in a way, since you just need to see what action leads to another stance and how you can combo them.
But if you want a build that doesn't need much thinking and can make the combat rather trivial, it's "Spring attack -> Crushing blow -> SA -> CB -> SA -> CB", once you run out of stamina or footing (i.e you fall down), just use Kip Up or something to get up standing again and continue with SA/CB spam, or if you do not want to fall down since it can lead to sex attacks initiated on you more easily, spam SA/CB until the text in your actions turns orange (this means that you're losing footing or stamina), use Fade Away and then Second Wind 2 or 3 times, then continue with SA/CB, rinse and repeat.
With this you only need to level up about 5 different skills, need only some magic to pass some checks and be able to cast inferno (or some other magics if you want) against ghost (since you cannot use physical attacks against her, she's incorporeal), use money and soul crystals / magic points to upgrade your gear, use perk points to increase your attributes and put points into stability, agility, armor crushing etc. perks that affect your combat ability.
