Double tap directionnal key for dodging
I just started absolver and find many aspect ackward, one main thing being:
Why the directionnal keys cannot be double tapped to dodge, instead of getting another key to use in same time as directionnal key; there's already so much key that are for nothing most of the time: 4 directionnal key for mouvement and 4 directionnal keys for position, while both of those might have been merge into 4 keys instead of 8:
...W-E-S-D keys instead...
holding both WE would move forward,
holding ED would go sideway,
etc;
So, by simply double taping one of those would make a single step in the diagonal direction forward or backward, therefor changing the stance, this would just make the whole controle way more intuitive and the combat more realistic.
P.S.:Also the same can be said about the parry special of styles, could be made that while holding guard while click attack mouse button keys would perform the left/right style option instead of requiring mouse movement.
NB: freeing many key will allow you to bring two keys missing in the game, communly known as crouch and jump; I would suggest you to take a look at the old bushido blade game on PS2 and how they made the mechanics of the 2 keys work and inspire yourself from that.
