Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I appreciate that- however, I should clarify that the "three fights" were merely how far I needed to get in to notice that fighting wasn't going as smoothly or as well as I had hoped. Don't get me wrong- I needed to ensure my findings were correct to ensure what I was saying was wholly on point. Bumping up against Kask in such a lengthy manner was one of those clunkier moments, for sure.
In any case, I look forward to seeing how this game develops. Thanks again!
