Swords are fine how they are, there's a reason for them being used the most since their versatility. TL DR So while you say swords are overpowered in this game, I only have to partially agree in that maces/axes are underpowered. Recovery after a hit with a front heavy weapon is also more difficult as with a sword. You wouldn't want to stab someone with a front-heavy mace or axe, especially if it's used in one hand. While a mace or an axe might be good at bludgeoning or hacking, a sword can both of those things rather well in addition to stabbing. But if you look at a well made sword (arming-sword or longsword doesn't really make a difference) it's very versatile. Yes they had some ego and prestige attached to it. Yes they were carried as self-defence weapons by nobles or those who could affort them. So when I hit an enemy on the arm with my axe/mace I expect them to have at least a bit of drawback when hit with a heavier weapon (or 'heavier' in sense of weight distribution)īut! and that's a big but, swords were never a 'shitty secondary weapon'.

If I bash you with a mace or axe, even on armoured target that is going to hurt, it was more or less the purpose of maces and axes (mostly war-axes/poleaxes) to defeat plated enemies.

Like locking the enemy weapon into yours, punching and kicking mid-combo (which you would do regurarly in combat) and adding injuries to ones limb. Given, there are multiple types of swords (Longswords, Short Sword, Scimitar etc.)īut there is some unused potential with axes and maces. I think too the fighting system favours swords a bit too much, since you get only a few combos for axes/maces and a long list of awesome, complicated and effective comboes for swords. Otherwise I think KCD is a lovely game, but I think I’ve hit my breaking point with this buggy mess.Įdit: I’ve gotten out of my stupor and cooler heads are prevailing. Why the hell are the most reknowned weapons the weakest? Whereas swords, a shitty secondary weapon, the equivalent to a fucking nuke? It’s absurd, and is honestly making me think of uninstalling for how bad and forced this combat system is. Even if they die you’re left with no stamina, easy for their million fucking buddies to lock you in a glitchy clinch where you constantly lose stamina and get hit. And when you do get a modicum of damage in, you have to wham on them until you run of out stamina, only for them to perfectly walk out of an axeblow to the spine and skull and instantly master stroke you. My playthrough before was a swordsman, and I could wipe out entire towns single-handed lay at 10 swordsmanship, but with axes, even the top tier played waraxe, it barely does any damage.

If it’s supposed to be realistic, why do axes feel like paper mache sticks? I’m at max strength, agility, and axe, yet when even one non armored opponent, fuck, even naked ones come by, I barely dink off their fucking health bar.
