Hi Richard, that's some very valuable information. However, how exactly to you target a specific part of the body. Every time I play it seams like the game picks a body part at random. If there is a specific way to turn the random attack off and give me the choice of head, body, legs, hands, whatever please let me know. I've been wondering if there was a more inteligent way of targeting and directing my attacks to do the most damage and the most good against any enemy let alone the Drake.
Thanks.
