I tried playing UnderTale yesterday and I just couldn't get anywhere because I hated the combat so so much. I love the music and the characters and writing, but I quickly dreaded any and all fights because uggghhhh. Ended up getting a refund (didn't help that the graphics look like a poorly coded Amstrad CPC game)

I'm not a huge fan of the combat in the first Witcher game. It's kind of unwieldy and it's not always clear whether something happened because you goofed or Geralt did or what. That said, it didn't put me off like UnderTale's.

I love BoF3 so whilst I don't think it's battle system is perfect I would definitely dispute Fox's claims That said yes you can get yourself into some tight spots where losing a fight leads to losing more fights, which leads to losing more fights.

e; Personally I've always liked - not merely tolerated, but actively liked - Morrowind's combat but I recognize that I am totally alone in that and that I can't really defend it objectively. It really isn't something people can enjoy when half their attacks graphically connect but whiff and I don't blame them.
