Well, I wouldn't say I'm not good with combat in any game. I'm very comfortable with combat in the classic cRPGs, be it RTwP or TB. It's first-person action combat that is a problem for me. Even having it be third-person makes a big positive difference (i.e. Witcher-style). In first person, all I end up doing is mashing the keyboard wildly and never hitting with my sword while getting clobbered by the other guy, because the perspective makes it very difficult for me to figure out what's happening.
