In my honest opinion, one of the most difficult things to learn in H&H is the combat system. Even today I still haven't grasped the basics and I tend to run away from conflicts with agroed animals.
I propose the idea of a rework of the system, whether that would be a full rework or a partial one, to make it easier to learn for people unfamiliar with this type of combat mechanics.
If a rework is impossible or undesirable, then maybe include a combat tutorial quest?
