i like risen combat far more than tw2 which is already boring me. i like being able to time hits and evading attacks. tw2, imho, could have had a deeper combat if not for the no sidestep, backstep thing and, to a lesser extent, blocking reducing damage instead of risen's completely preventing damage.
also, risen's difficulty is more interesting to me as you dont easily get to 1 hit enemies after a little time. makes for better satisfaction when you finally get to that point where you stand a good chance of beating the thing which made you turn tail earlier.
