I couldn't die. That sort of took the thrill out of combat. I liked the arrow thing but reaching my fingers up to the num keys was a real pain. Overall I say, thumbs up.
I noticed that bug, sometimes it does it. But I never know why. If you restart the game it will be fixed. About the arrow skill, I'm sorry it was painfull for you. I took the same gameplay mechanics than MMORPG or hack 'n' slash games.
