So wouldn’t notice a change made to fighting with keyboard and mouse. Sort of like saying your beer tastes the same, when we are drinking wine.
And I can do it with no weapons. That really isn’t the big brag you think it is. The keep scales to the attackers, by yourself at 10th the game is going to scale down to that. Does it still feel like the same accomplishment? Try it at 60th with 2 thralls see how that goes.
“Sorry we cut your leg off, but it’s ok,we’re going to stitch on a broom handle”. 
I tell you what grab a 10 pound sludge hammer, swing it, and try to change it’s discretion mid swing.
If the NPCs can do that; track you and hit with any weapon, I aught to be able to do the same.
Lite weapons, like daggers and short swords, and medium weapons, long swords and maces should still have the previous fluid combat. Aside from specific legendary weapons {momentum}. 2 handed weapons wont be as fluid, as it is now except NPC lose the tracking ability with heavy weapons as well. Except for specific legendary weapons, the papyrus blade for insistence.
The best here is a happy medium for both player and NPC.
Have you read any part of this thread? Has been noted ad nauseum this is a PC thing.
They were, I griped about, at the time I said it would be the #1 issue discussed on the forum, and here we are.
As I have said before the “beta” server is there for content producers to preview the new content, hype the new chapter. Any issues that don’t crash your game and produce an automated bug report, won’t get fixed. It goes out as is; the issue with hard release dates.
Grab a spear, find an enemy, use the Q lockon, watch you 180 with a spear.
