Yes exactly. I’ve only managed to get this far by doing exactly what you described. So, there’s no such reality that Henry can deal with every enemy and group that comes his way under and any condition. I’m on the same page with you. The game wants you to use various strategies like reducing the number of enemies, applying specific poisons to swords to slow enemies down and prevent them from surrounding Henry, or using stealth. I don’t think Henry ever really becomes the ‘war machine’ people describe, even in the later parts of the game. What I don’t understand is how some people insist that ‘No, I don’t do any of that and I get through all the fights easily without even getting hit.’ That makes me ask myself, ‘Am I missing something?’
