GS is one of a thousand edgelord fantasies where what the writer thinks is edgy "dirty fighting" "realistic" "Pragmatic" etc etc etc is really either not as effective as he thinks it is or stuff that everyone has been doing since the dawn of time. GS would be nothing unusual in DnD, because 99% of adventurers are paranoid hard asses that tactically analyze every situation.I honestly don’t get what it is with all the Fantasy LN’s love for “Adventurer’s Guilds” over guys just going off and traveling the road and stumbling by quests
Same for why they make almost all their superheroes into corporate sponsored dudes doing commercials and maybe even being registered with the government
And yeah, it’s something I’ve pointed out with a bunch or edgelords regarding GS
“Fighting Dirty” is NOT enough and you will regret having not become a better swordsman or getting beefed up and getting better equipment, the moment you deal with someone BOTH skilled and strong
He actually gets his shit beaten out of him and has trouble with anything higher than angry green midgets
Guy is more “hit and run” than anything else when it comes to melee. Yeah, it’s relatively simple, but wait until you get the shit beaten out of you by the Devil’s Lance who doesn’t even bother predicting your movements
And wait till someone starts doing feints or coming at you really fast and making you wonder where's the next hit coming from
In GS, GS is the one competant man in a world of retards. In DnD or any realistic setting, he's just everyone else but short.
