Currently it feels kind of weird to lock on to enemies, as it provides basically zero benefits (if not straight up disadvantages) from just having freecam, because of the model-based actions that don't automatically point towards the locked on enemy
In the future, is it going to work more like Dark Souls (i.e. the character points towards anything you lock on to even if you move in another direction), or will it just be based on your movement inputs/model direction regardless of locking on?

I dont know exactly what you mean but I agree the lock on and camera need work.

I mean what is the point of locking on when your character can still face away from the enemy, which means my attacks don't automatically hit said enemy
It should do something besides lock on your camera to an enemy you can't even hit half the time
It also (in my opinion) makes parrying underpowered... Half the time that I try to parry, I'm looking away from the enemy because I am trying to disengage or lure one enemy from a big group

Yes I agree 100%. I have more thoughts on this.

I agree. The whole point of locking onto an enemy is to take that enemy down, without having to do the additional camera work of always looking at him. If the skills aren't aiming toward him then that defeats the purpose of said lock-on.
Parry sucks too. I don't know if it's direction based but I can't seem to activate it properly. Not sure how the lock on affects this.

Just same as attacking, so yeah, direction based
Which means you have to face the enemy...

If that's true, they need to change how either the parry or the lock on works, because locking on would also make it impossible to parry anything other than the one enemy you are locked onto.

Totally agreed, right now trying to dodge everything is much more viable, even though parrying seems to be the intended way to reliably heal

i think its not direction based cuz i parried certain attacks that came from the left and behind me.

This sole issue (and people pointing it out in reviews) is what's stopping me from currently buying the game. Actions being locked to the direction your character is facing instead of where your camera is facing is horrendous in 3rd person action. Games like Zelda and Darksouls have had this issue solved for years, so it's rather disappointing that this was overlooked

Truly horrendous overlook indeed, this needs to be prioritised in the upcoming updates!
