Ay lmao XD? xddd no, that's just wrong on nearly all accounts. While your initial statement is true, within the context of the timeframe of the Legend of King Arthur (5th to 6th century) it is false, as the kind of armour they would've worn would be much more effective to combat with a sword than a hammer or mace. Plate mail armour did not exist, so the usefulness of a blunt weapon is far more niche and would be much better replaced by stabbing weapons like knives, spears and yes, swords. Which is why they didn't get prominently used up until the late middle ages. And besides, even with that in mind, you would not choose a tree branch over a sword, no one would, against any kind of opponent, plate armoured or not. So many things could go wrong with picking an unorthodox, unspecialised, possibly fragile, too heavy, too weak, too predictable type of weapon. plate mailed people certainly are near impervious to sword strikes, but they certainly should be wary of the threat that it does pose (murderstroke, stabbing, pommeling)
This works right up until you get mobbed by 6 guys who have eternal sprint and the lock on mechanic goes nuts and forces Henry to spin in circles as they beat you to death.
Try the " interlopers " activity. I did it and i thought I got good .. these are some OP brigands with infinite stamina and dogs ,more than one . Henry spinning around and 4 tanks bearing him to death . You don't do that in your jammies .
@@michallasan3695 Honestly it seems like one of the more historically accurate techniques you can use in-game. Just harass the enemy camp with arrows, get them disorganized, and pick them off one by one.
this game goes from an absolutely useless dork that waits till his enemies sleeps to stab them to the god of death that killed half of bohemia by himself
3 года назад+7
yeah, thats true :D In my real lategame, running with good gear and fucking battle axe, I could just clear whole rattay garrison without breaking a sweat, my stats were so high enemies werent even able to block/parry me in time and fucking axe one or two shotted like everybody... Kinda shame, once another instance of RPG with totally batshit crazy stats scaling going unchecked for too long (cyberpunk is also terrible example of this lol). Luckily mods can fix this, so my second playthrough was much harder and more fun, especially with harder master strikes
Actually, this is almost historical correct, 5 years later, in bohemia, the full plated knights were defeated by peasants with their sharpened peasant tools.
NorseKorean please someone explain this reference because I am merely a lowly nonconsumerist internet wayfarer who know not this reference, of which I am not acquainted with in this vast cerebral compendium of otherwise useless knowledge, of which I can make references to in internet forums and RUclips, a site that I am on right now, until I stumbled on this reference, of which currently troubles me because I do not know WHAT THE FUCK IT MEANS thanks in advance for explaining the reference
Miyamoto Musashi is known as a "sword-saint" and one of the most famous samurai in the history of Japan. He was known for using wooden swords in his duels, when he was young, which he started at the age of thirteen.
Lol yes they do that. The AI is kind of broken with the "intimidation"-mechanic. It also happens when you get ambushed while fast travelling: You stop, 3 guys come at you, you draw your weapon and they run for their lives... Imao
Cosplaying as the 1400s Bohemian version of Batman with no plate armor and only taking enemies down with your fists, and challenging yourself not to kill anyone, has been really fun. Pretty cathartic to bounce around a fully armored knight's helmet as you go to town on it like a speed bag. What's even better is seeing how many enemies start giving up entirely after you combine Taunt (Agility) and Dreadful (Strength). I started the playthrough as a joke, but it really became something special after a while.
Actualy that is realistic. When you crush someone's windpipe like that he can quickly suffocate to death and yes the game has localized damage. That means, proper strikes on the head, throat area etc mean death most of the time or knockout.
After 200 hours of play time I came too the conclusion i discoverd the true story of this game... This isn't about the son of a blacksmith seeking vengeance and trying to recover a sword.. oh no there is a story here that is equally as obvious if your paying attention.. This is a story about a man with Palsy in Medieval times and his heroic adventure to overcome this disease! Henry can only do one thing really well from the get go. Drink. Henry can't read or even smith all that well, and he cannot use a sword for shit. Henry is welcomed and loved by everyone why? Because anyone with a serious mental issue is treated with extreme niceness. Henry, eventually after being treated with an odd amount of respect from everyone he encounters, overcomes this mental health issue.. in doing so he becomes an absolute destroyer of men..... and women (snicker). Henry struggles to keep him self fed, to ride a horse but manages to overcome most of his short comings including becoming the richest person in Bohemia This is the story of a man who simply didn't accept his short comings, oh no, he set out to over come them and we get to share in his misadventures. Wait.. hold on.. Is the story of Henry some how mimicking Forest Gump?
I did that but against a fully armored knight, to be fair I was fully armored and pommeled him in the face once and he just dropped. I was so shocked and walked up to him going "Buddy? You alright buddy?"
And with me its the case now that I am in full plate armor and get clubbed to death by 5 full armored bandit knights with visors while im busy gezting their dog off of my arm
I fought this guy incredibly early game, and he still went down almost immediately. didn't even have perfect block then. Two mace strikes and he was straight up dead.
For whatever reason, I haven't seen a single encounter of any sort during fast travelling for the past 20 hours of gameplay, not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse.
If you were good enough irl you could theoretically do this. I certainly wouldn't want someone to lean into a thrust at my neck with anything too hard... England once won a skirmish against the French like this. Even though the majority of the English army had what was basically hard beef jerky for armor and long wooden sticks they still held off against the French, who heavily out armed and armored them. I mean 5/6ths of the English were Longbowmen, but after pelting and thinning the French advance they went hand to hand with cudgels and hammers... and won. Personally, I'd rather have a staff than a sword. More reach and leverage. More ways to block and bind too.
I used to do Longsword fencing and holy fuck polearms are scary. I was and am even moreso now shit at sparring but fucking hell I do not want to fight someone with a stick
@@Joghurt2499 To be honest, Swords really aren't that good at rank and file combat. Honestly, they were mostly used to duel with and kill peasants. Real combat was done with bows, crossbows, polearms and maces/hammers. It depended, though. In a medieval war, you could be facing conscripted peasants with light to no armor, or a platoon of well trained, well armed and armored juggernauts who killed for a living and didn't swear fealty to a king.
@@chesusjrist9733 yes this! You realize how... Unversatile specifically longswords are when you fight someone with sword/shield or a polearm. We were learning off fencing books written specifically on judicial fights so they were a bit removed from reality anyways so my experience doesn't apply in that area
wanna try it? I in fulll plate, you with a long stick :D I'm telling you, with that armor you can just rush your opponent and basicaly stomp him into the ground :D
Actually that many knocks to the head with a blunt object hitting against it (as with the helmet smudging towards the skull) might cause a concussion or atleast knock something out with it. I do hope they fix this maybe in a patch or update, I don't know if this game has a difficulty system or not, if they do I'll try raising it up a bit.
Same thing happened to me on accident. I accidentally killed a mercenary with a single halfsword combo. I feel like there should be some sort of cap on how much you can level strength and agility, or at least an extra damage cap. Because this game was supposed to be the opposite of games where you can just one shot button mash hordes of enemies.
The combat in this game is weird. It is either I get my ass handed to me by a random bandit with just a stick or I clutch a fight with an entire garrison.
tbf, the author of the Book of Five Rings, Musashi something, typically dueled with a wooden sword and beat his opponents at the end of his life simply by parrying and dodging around them, never striking back once,,,they'd just give up and admit they could not defeat him. so not an entirely unrealistic late game, for a god damned virtuoso duelist
Got the faint hearted knight, he wanted a little friendly duel. Dodged his first attack and stabs him in the throat... he falls dead... I feel like a dick
Lmao. I was at a lose the first time I fought him because I accidentally killed him. Like one moment he's good to go the wam, dead. Which is, in fact, realistic like, it happened a LOT and is why for the most part personal duels were illegal.
I know it's like game-breaking man I don't even want to finish anymore cuz I spent so much time leveling up like thinking that it was a tough game at the beginning now I can take on a whole camp
I once dueled the Wayfaring Knight, got a master stroke, and knocked him out on the very first block. After that, I just sort of hung around for a few minutes waiting for him to wake up.
This happened to me against runt. Huge build up in mission to finally fight the big guy in the church loft and with 1 riposte... Lights out. I definitely did too many sidequests before the main story, my character is too strong. Playing on hardcore too but the master strike is a bit much. A perfect block should reward you with not being hit, the counter shouldn't be automatic. We should have to block then attack like a combo.
I really like this design, it feels like you are a master fighting an inexperienced guy, the master can use a blunt indeed and the opponent would still lose.. still the master must do everything alright, or few hits and it dies..
I don't want people to see this and immediately think the game is bad, before even playing it themselves. It's a great game, in my opinion. I just wanted to poke fun at certain aspects of the combat, which I thought were too abusable and needed to be addressed at the time.

I do hope they fix this maybe in a patch or update, I don't know if this game has a difficulty system or not, if they do I'll try raising it up a bit.
Such is the legend of the great stickman, Mushaski.
Same thing happened to me on accident. I accidentally killed a mercenary with a single halfsword combo. I feel like there should be some sort of cap on how much you can level strength and agility, or at least an extra damage cap. Because this game was supposed to be the opposite of games where you can just one shot button mash hordes of enemies.
Then he respawned 2 day later ready to go again.
This is like the legendary Musashi in Japanese history.
I remember this game exactly like this having played 4 years ago and never again since
you honestly don't even need to wait, you can overpower blocking pretty quick with thrust attacks
You can actually do that without weapons, if your unarmed skill is around 8 or higher.
It's like those Kung Fu movies where a guy beats a bunch of sword wielding men, using a broom stick
The combat in this game is weird. It is either I get my ass handed to me by a random bandit with just a stick or I clutch a fight with an entire garrison.
"Good day, sir knight!". "Aright mate"
I have no idea why they added master striking when it defeats the entire purpose of their combat system.
I’m one with the force, the force is with me
Literaly every duel after learning a master strike
NPCs talking shit to the main character when a single finger can annihilate them will never get old.
It will take you literally hours of goddamn grinding to achieve this
Had to come back and revisit a classic in the lead up to KCD 2
Hell yeah, I'm very hyped for the new one. Hopefully the late-game combat is a bit more challenging lol.
Looking forward to it.. 👍
Fully armoured mercenary dies after four hits with a wooden stick. Seems fine.
Don't even worry about the challenge. Go for the overkill. I saw you had st George sword poisoned haha.
I would be so mad, im in a full armor and got a fine sword and some peasant runs up to me and kills me with a piece of wood
tbf, the author of the Book of Five Rings, Musashi something, typically dueled with a wooden sword and beat his opponents at the end of his life simply by parrying and dodging around them, never striking back once,,,they'd just give up and admit they could not defeat him.
so not an entirely unrealistic late game, for a god damned virtuoso duelist
Grapple, Q.
*Repeat*
Stick and stones may break my... HOLY JESUS!!
Break Jesus? What are you, a Cuman heathen?
So this is what it's like to be a Morrowind enemy.
"I should talk to Theresa"..... "feel quite hungry"
Got the faint hearted knight, he wanted a little friendly duel. Dodged his first attack and stabs him in the throat... he falls dead... I feel like a dick
You killed him!
yes
No
:o
Top ten anime betrayals
sam5345 maybe...
Lmao. I was at a lose the first time I fought him because I accidentally killed him. Like one moment he's good to go the wam, dead. Which is, in fact, realistic like, it happened a LOT and is why for the most part personal duels were illegal.
We all can see that poison on the weapon.
And thus the student becomes the master.
I know it's like game-breaking man I don't even want to finish anymore cuz I spent so much time leveling up like thinking that it was a tough game at the beginning now I can take on a whole camp
I once dueled the Wayfaring Knight, got a master stroke, and knocked him out on the very first block. After that, I just sort of hung around for a few minutes waiting for him to wake up.
This happened to me against runt. Huge build up in mission to finally fight the big guy in the church loft and with 1 riposte... Lights out. I definitely did too many sidequests before the main story, my character is too strong. Playing on hardcore too but the master strike is a bit much. A perfect block should reward you with not being hit, the counter shouldn't be automatic. We should have to block then attack like a combo.
Henry starts as a humble peasant then at the end of the game he is basically Saint George
Thoigh in typical medieval hero fashion he is the illegitimate son of a noble.
tbh i like the classic RPG shonen-esk scafold because u hardly see it done well these days but this is hilarious
"A little friendly -"
*dies*
I really like this design, it feels like you are a master fighting an inexperienced guy, the master can use a blunt indeed and the opponent would still lose.. still the master must do everything alright, or few hits and it dies..
