Parrying

Hey guys and girls. I'm new to the Witcher series and am so far really enjoying Witcher 2. The combat is a lot of fun! I just had a quick questions about the Parrying skill from the Training Tree. It says "Unlocks the ability to parry blows from all directions." Does that mean that if I'm in the Ochs stance (parrying) Geralt will automatically block all incoming strikes, or must I face the attacking enemy so I (logically) parry in the right direction. The latter would make more sense, but game mechanics can be weird.

Thanks!

No it is automatic. If you haven't used the skill yet. Bit late on that one.

Without that skill you can only block an enemy that is directly facing you. With it, you don't have to be facing an enemy to block him. For example, if you are attacked from the side but you have this skill and you are in blocking stance, you will block it. Without it, you will get hit and take damage.
