How do I get good in swordfighting...

How do I get good in swordfighting? Stealth is fucking great but when Im against someone in a normals fight im getting rekt

The age old tip

Git gud

practice with captain bernard and keep practicing even when you think you got the hang of it

Go back to Captain Bernard and learn about the masterstroke.

Then just use the masterstroke to win every encounter ever.

Stats actually matter the game pretends they don't but they do. Also you can abuse the lock on, lock off system to prevent enemies from pulling that slo-mo Jedi bullshit (the only thing that makes fights difficult) and win every fight with ease.

Be like Sir Ulrich and go into combat naked.

You seem to think combat involves skill, what you need to do is get training and sword perks, how you play is meaningless you just need your character to have the right numbers.

This Armour is for sissies.

Finished the game today and yeah, this is really stupid. I was expecting mechanical skill requirements, but you can practically mash parry and hit at some point.

Is anyone NOT using longswords?
I used shortswords/hunter swords the whole game and it always felt like I was doing no damage.

Armor in this game is one of the best parts. I really think it's one of the things they got right. You actually feel fucking invincible in full plate. Completely ignoring blows while they scrape your armor is neat.

Warhammers are OP.

But Henry swords somehow melt plate though.

Hammer+Longsword master race. Hammer platefags sword everything else.

Sissy, when will platefags ever learn?

yeah I just tried out the spiker warhammer and its pretty neat

What would Giantbomb think?

Fuck off pol retard

kek, my feelings.

I like Axes personally.
Especially since they have that special tackle attack where you axe them in the back and throw them to the ground.

I just found this horse outside Talmberg, I can ride it but noone appears claming for it or anything. But I can't stole it pressing X tho, only ride it. Any help on what's about with this horse?

>There is a system to change the direction of your attack mid swing, use that.

It's kind of silly and bad for the weapon itself. People carried daggers on them for that very reason.
