I thought it was just my character, but my husband’s male character is having similar issues, just not as badly as my female/smaller character.
I think the angle of the swings is different, maybe, and thats affecting the targeting?
but yes… harvesting corpses using a hatchet is impossible on flat ground, they have to be on a slope and a little higher up than my character or she misses it.
it seems to be anything that swings sideways rather than downward. Daggers, hatchets, pickaxes, swords, etc.
