True but I'm just saying that the overpowered melee combat kinda makes stealth pointless except for personal preference.

The one thing that irritates me though is the mercenary system. I don't feel like it was well thought out. It's way too easy to get a bounty when you're trying to complete a POI either by accidentally killing civilians who love to attack you with their broomsticks or by alerting and then subsequently murdering countless guards because the game won't let you one hit stealth kill the strongest enemies.

Miraculously the mercenaries find you within about 15 seconds of you obtaining the bounty. In the process of fighting off one mercenary, sometimes you can increase your bounty even further and end up killing 2 or 3 more before all is said and done.

Yeah I agree. I hate when I’m fighting some guards and a merc shows up out of nowhere

Agree with all of this.

I'm at level 19 and feel like I'm finally really diving into the story. I'm really enjoying the game. One of my favorite AC games so far.

Yea I agree with this frustration. Especially the civilians. They just meander through the battle and you hit one by mistake and they all start attacking. I try to avoid them but eventually they're so annoying I just kill them. But then you end up with 2-3 mercs on you and you're toast.

I also think it's dumb that the soldiers start attacking you in these fights. It would be different if they attacked the merc as well, but they never do. I get them stopping a fight, but why only attack me? Fricking annoying.

Still love the game though.
