I don't know if it's so much that parry is too powerful, or that other skills should be capped. 32 swords is crazy high

I never would have found that on my own. I was refusing to use any kind of light, just predator's sight, to give me a fighting advantage, and you just don't see tat lever in the dark. I reloaded that part of the game 3-4 times before I gave up and came here looking for a clue.

I've been buying my games almost exclusively from Steam, and there are usually the same warnings/restrictions:
