I find it silly to build up this guy as superman, and then have him be useless. It almost comes to the idea of unreliable narrator. If he didn't have Bast licking his boots I would think we had a Usual Suspects thing going on. If Rothfuss wanted to show him as less than omnipotent, he picked a rather blunt way to do it. I thought it was pretty obvious that he was faking the whole "can't fight" thing. After it was done Kvothe states that he "almost forgot who he was" in regards to the fight. He's supposed to be Kote the innkeeper, it wouldn't look good for a "simple innkeeper" to beat two soldiers in a fistfight. Then at the very end he's still able to practice the Ketan.

I just finished The Wise Man's Fear yesterday and while I like the series as a whole god drat, Rothfuss does not know how to end a book. Neither books feel like it ends at a natural stopping point and instead just seems like he cuts it off. Also, he's spent one and a half books of Kvothe at the University, it'd be nice if he would actually move on from there.
