Sacred Haven of Debauchery

You need a license for your private server, I guess. And it's fun to play when there are a lot of people. But there are very few such servers, especially with good ping. It depends on the shield. If three enemies attack you at once, you'll only be holding your shield in front of you, and it will break quickly. And you won't even have time to strike back. But it's not a hopeless situation either. It all depends on how it goes... Maybe someone will help, or you'll be able to dodge the attacks yourself.

I'm running around the arena with a blunderbuss, and I see an enemy face appear in the second-floor window, holding a rocket launcher.

There, you also run with a sword. You see an enemy above you, and he's shooting at you. Maybe he'll shoot something else or throw something. Of course, you cover yourself with your shield. At the same time, enemies can attack from behind. You already need to defend yourself against two of them, while also moving somewhere, maybe towards the third direction. And there might be an enemy standing there too. Although, it's better to run towards the one on the upper level and take him down quickly, before you get surrounded. I've had similar situations. I'm fighting someone, and an enemy archer is standing nearby, shooting at me. So, I'm hitting this guy and defending myself from him, while also managing to turn around and block the arrow with my shield. The controls are like in Oblivion, I think.
