    Seems that some things in this game that seem very "exploity" are in fact well used strategies.

    I found a very low tarp on the side of a tent, and I jumped up on that. It was so low that the Orcs attacking me, who went under the tarp had their heads sticking up through the tarp right by my feet. Still they could not hit me with their swords, nor could the Orc bowmen hit me because the tarp was located in a group of tents and they could not shoot from a distance. But, I could hit them with my Orc Slayer bow easily. Pretty silly looking to see all those Orc heads sticking up through the tarp. That was just too exploity.
