Howdy,
I've got a small Quality of Life/Gameplay Experience change regarding the game's notification for "Invalid Nudges" (trying to nudge when your character is unable due to weapon/animation restrictions.)
I'll illustrate my point through an example:
A player holding 2H attack tries to nudge an opponent. He presses V, and nothing happens. He dies because rather than interrupting the enemy's attack with a nudge, "WTF MY NUDGE DIDNT GO."
The nudge "didn't go" because it was an invalid nudge attempt, but cRPG explains the situation like this:

register or
login"What?"This alert echoes the player's exact thoughts ("WTF" rage), and throws them back in his face. It does not give the player the information he needs to correct his error, and serves only to compound his frustration over dying for mysterious reasons.
I think that the alert text should be changed from "What?" to "Invalid Nudge Attempt" (or something similarly direct/clear/clinical) so that it the game gives the player the information he needs to understand his mistake and correct it next time.
This won't affect veterans, but it will make the game slightly less mysterious/infuriating for players still figuring out nudge mechanics.
tl;dr
Alert messages should be clear and informative, not vague and trolly.
