I feel exactly like this, but with parrying as well. My many years of building a high strength based characters in the Souls series, is biting me in the ass like a giant snake. At least I killed that orge fuck this morning, kept getting fucked over by his grab. Now I'm stuck on drunk fuck and the my little pony bastard. :?

The combat is much faster paced than Souls games, and relies heavily on dodging/parrying. Its kinda crazy that they decided to make a combat system so reliant on a very strict high-skill mechanic from their previous games. You need split-second timing with a lot of this stuff. Honestly i would not mind the whole thing if not for the fact that...
Spoiler:
Death is massively punishing with the whole dragonrot stuff and the limited amount of times you can cure it. At this point im just rocking max(i think) dragonrot and ignoring the entire mechanic as much as possible, because dying is so much easier in this game.
I found a way to make things a little easier though...
Spoiler:
Beating the ogre boss gets you some passive that increases heals. A little further along that path gets you another gourd seed. There is also a 4-cost passive on the prosthetic skill tree(bottom line, after the grapple skill) that increases heals even more. Those should be useful for keeping you alive.
Am i missing some trick to getting those Carps that are underwater? I got 6 from the surface. I saw another by clipping my camera under the water, but none of my sword attacks can hit it. I want that mask piece!

On the underwater carps:
Spoiler:
Progress down the line, the Corrupted Monk boss gives you a dive skill

is it better on console or PC though? google search says PC, but i've seen lots of discussion about weird input lag issues on it too

PC as always. Input latency can come down to a lot of things (I have none at all)
V-Sync
Free/G-Sync
Controller issue with software or hardware
High latency display
Just being plain shit and blaming lag
Usually it's the last one tbh

An easy mode goes against everything that From Software is.
