Does anyone else find it not just annoying and unfair but entirely *nonsensical* that Ciri isn't able to parry/counterattack in Wild Hunt? She was trained in the same combat techniques as Geralt and the vast majority of the enemies she fights are humanoid so there is really no excuse for it. And for those of you inclined to play edgelord don't give me some crap about differences in upper body strength between men and women, the entire point of parrying is minimizing oncoming force and redirecting it ideally forcing your opponent to overextend and unbalance themselves not meeting and trying to overpower it because you'll ruin your weapon and probably your arms. And even if she were an idiot and played it that way her attacks are magically empowered showing off striking power that exceeds the inhumanly strong Geralt. It makes the times you have to stand your ground frustrating because the only way she can kill shielded enemies is to remain still and vulnerable charging her teleport spam while they gang up aggressively and *hope* the back attack connects... and she's still vulnerable to their blind flailing while teleporting too! I get that the game is trying to impress as hard as possible that it wants you to prioritize running away from enemies in her sections but I would think the fact they infinitely spawn would clue players in and they'll still need some kind of breathing room to figure out which way to run and force an opening.
