If the combat system is largely based on human skill, what do weapon statistics do?
The aspect of human skill is only one part of the combat system. Even though you direct your attacks and do the strikes yourself, you are still dependent on the weapon you use being good enough both in terms of quality and statistics. How and where you strike may be up to you, but the statistics bound to the weapon you’re using is determining how much damage you’re dealing.
