Yeah. Occasionally you find someone you can't wrestle. Or you are so good that wrestling will just take longer.

Bah, I just aim for the head and I usually stab straight through their skull with my sword. Spears have a dangerous tendency to get stuck inside an enemy when you stab them, which a sufficiently strong enemy can then steal from you.

That's why I carry 5 spears, and 5 shields. My spear is stuck in them, so I stab them again. I've only encountered an enemy that got all of my spears stuck in them once, and that was when I only had three. But I shield bashed them to death.

Not going to bother editing the last one because this is a new point:
Missing gives them a chance to counter, and not wounding them makes them harder to beat. If you can't make a headshot, it's best to move to the next priority.

i chuck them.
