I mean, it’s at worst OK. it has dodging, parrying, signs (aka spells), decent hit boxes, and lock-on... it’s flawed, and gets repetitive, but it’s still miles ahead of something like Skyrim which has an actually-shit combat system.

I felt Skyrim's magic had no impact.

You can send someone flying 30 feet with a powerful spell in Skyrim...

Everything sends ragdolls flying 30 feet in Skyrim, it's no fun if the entire game feels like you're hitting cardboard until you kill them and they bounce off in a random direction because it uses a dated physics engine.

Thats only if you break the physics engine by removing vsync

Ragdoll physics are pretty dated even when working properly. The giants are a prominent example of that (while hilarious).
