Just started my 3.Playthrough, 1. was a Noncombat-Loremaster, 2. a Loremaster/rangedhybrid..i had a lot of Fun with both but this one...

I wanted to play a Axefighter and thought about joining HD or IG, i fought the Botsman&2 two thugs, killed the Loremaster, got the training from Feng&Dellar. I have 8 Str, 8 Dex, 6 Con 7 Per, use Axe&Shild with 4 Axe/block&Crit and i am stuck just at the start.

I have to fight the Bandits or do the 1. IG-Mission and i stand no chance at all, IG is a bit easier but still 5 against 3, with 2 well equipped enemys. I replayed the fight with light/medium/heavy armor, with&without nets...the best outcame so far the Merchant&1 wounded Soldier alive.

I read a comment of a Dev that played that mission with the nearly similar stas(Con+2 Per-2)...he stated it was a cakewalk, nothing could stop him^^...

So...either im really bad(but i even claimed the Championtitle with the hybrid), the game hates me :) or i miss something.

I hope someone has a good advice.

Use the buckler or cavalry shields - your skills low enough.
Try power attacks against the blockers (dudes with shields), and fast or aimed: legs attacks against the dodgers (all others).
If your THC is high enough - try aimed: head attacks, even if enemy wears the helmet.
Try to fight in narrow places, where you can be attacked by 1-2 enemies at once.
Try bolas/nets/bash, then aimed attack on choked/netted/prone. THC is 100% against prone target.
I use a Cav-shield, i use Nets&Shildbash allready
I'm forced to stay with Fast attacks because of the THC.

I found out that the devs-comment was from a old test verfsion where 3 was enough for the skills to bet the first Factionmission, expect the mines and the banditleader.

Trying around with the meleebuild i noticed that i either need to put ALL points i can to Axe&block, go with +2 dex&dodge&Alchy or...

Anyway...i found several ways but all show me that i spreaded my points to thin, i didn't take into account that i get far less points from quests because of the low Int and that quests aren't a way to gather easy points with a meleefighter, it seems a all or nothing start.

Many thanks for anwsering. Can be closed.
