Just had you recommended on youtube. Just started Aska myself so watching this has been great!! thanks so much. I love your editing style as well, appreciate your efforts greatly :D Subscribed and bell on
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
@@Ser_Bucky 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

The skinning tip is great. Much appreciated.
Your welcome. Total game changer, right!

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