What exactly is the Real Combat System?
When fighting with a sword, an axe or other melee weapons in Age of Conan, you actually have to direct your weapons in certain directions yourself, in real-time. You have to perform the strikes yourself in one of six different directions. This makes battles much more interesting in terms of action, and you have a far greater control on how your character fights. You can also hit multiple enemies at once, so if happen to slash your sword through two enemies standing next to each other, both of these will suffer damage.
