Hi, thanks so much for the kind words. You just made my day!

The skinning tip is great. Much appreciated.

[@SerBucky]

Your welcome. Total game changer, right!

@@SerBucky another 'trick' with skinning is using the R-harvest button, but, instead of holding it until complete, release the R button immediately after the first 'strike' then hold it again, repeating hold/release/hold/release...get the rhythm of it, and it skins even faster than using melee. Sadly, it doesn't work for mining or logging

@@cferguson37 Wow, this sounds awesome. I'll give it a go in the next episode (4 by the time I get around to it).

Fun times. A couple of thoughts: I tend to prefer the spiked club, and sometimes I use a shield with it, sometimes not. Damage output seems about the same. Also, I am sure that you are right with the skinning tip. I kinda feel that this will not last, as there's maybe something wrong with a game where you do better skinning by not using the skinning skill. (hmm, unless it uses the skinning skill with single hits like some other situations) In the meantime, I will continue to skin the old way, because once your skills get higher, it is quite fast. I kinda prefer the immersive aspect of actually skinning instead of stabbing, too.

You still get skinning skill ups using the melee attack (not shown since I probably hid the UI) but I agree it seems like an oversight and something they'll fix. Regarding weapons, I'll have to do some testing but I think the 2handers stun faster versus the one handers, but I would like to give 1 hander run a go at some point. Although after the Aska Alone series I kinda miss the bow lol
