The incredible thing about this game is how many options it gives you to survive -- life potions, rolling gets you out of the way of almost any attack, backstepping, blocking, parrying, and counter attacking... so that you can start to feel powerful, almost invincible, and then suddenly you get a little cocky or find yourself in a new situation and you realize how fragile you are all over again. One mistake, sometimes one-and-a-half, and you're dead.
