Dragging to block and attack, rather than clicking.

I don't like using the autoblock feature. Autoblock feels like cheating but I also feel like I'm forced to use it.

I always hear from people that "you'll get used to the blocking system." Though I'm sure that it is true for some/many people, it isn't for me. I've tried and I can't. This is coming from someone with 200+ hours. I thought I was bad for the longest time, but then I realized the source of my frustration and failure.

Much like the title of this post, I realized that my incapability to understand the system is due to the sheer illogicality of its design. I know saying that will make some butterlords mad at me but please hear me out.

When wielding a blade in your hand you shouldn't have to block to change directions of your strike. when blocking you shouldn't have to stop blocking to block in a different direction. Not only is this terribly illogical but it also hinders the gameplay severely (for me at least.)

There is one simple fix for this issue and it is not only logical and realistic but it also would improve the controls drastically. As the title of my post says that one thing would be the ability to change directions while holding down the mouse button (In other words dragging to control direction without having to let go first).

The best part is that could be completely optional. in the control options you could make a little check box for this feature and be done with it. Frankly, I'm shooting for the stars with this one and it's probably unlikely that they do this but a boy can hope.
