That sounds like the new Middle Earth games. You are kicking butt yet arrowws are hitting you from every direction.lol
It is just frustrated because they are off screen and when they are from Mercenaries they do ridiculous damage. Most of the time they either are fire or poison arrows which is worse. I know I can just pay bounties off to clear them out, but why should I have to do that. Not to mention that each base/camp most enemies are not spread out like in every other AC game. They just all sit looking at each other or bunched so you are fighting 5-10 guys each time no matter how stealthy you try to be.
