>the damage on fatal attacks is really disappointing
Braindead take, the amount of damage you get from the totality of the 'free' hit that will trigger the stun, the multiple free hits you can do before the fatal attack, the fatal attack and then the multiple free hits you can do as they stand from the fatal attack plus the opportunity to restore all stamina and heal is gigantic. The game easily devolves into nothing if you can shit out enough posture damage to trigger regular staggers and landing parries does a lot to fill that bar, so you really don't have to do much to blow up most encounters for free
