i have a lot of variables and admittedly, sometimes i forget about them. this stat is unfortunately one of them. i will take this into consideration the next time i update and add more flavour text where applicable. while this may not change the player character's inner dialogue too much, hopefully it will feel more personal to what you chose.
however, i cannot change major plot points. rylan needs to get away in chapter one in order for the story to move forward. i can definitely change the scene to accommodate the weapons skill by making it seem like the hunter is winning at first, but they cannot win overall. furthermore, the 'fight' in chapter seven, had little fighting in itself and had more to do with the element of surprise. the hunter was injured mainly because they were caught off guard. however, once again, i can do what i will do to chapter one and lessen the damage for those who have high combat skills.
i appreciate the feedback and the constructive criticism. thank you for being kind about it.
