1/2h swords

[Muki]

I know we have some 1 handers that can switch to a two hand mode, can we add in the ability  for those 2 handers that are 2/1 hander label to be able to switch into 1 hand mode?

He probably means a 1h/2h mode where you press X to switch from another, this is different as the current 1h/2h mode we have, where you need a shield.

The one we have forces us to lose 30% speed and damage, the one proposed allows the dev to set damage and speed values for both modes.

I think this is a pretty good Idea, and I see no reason not too.

Probably going to have to do something with the halfsword 2hs though. ' dont know if its possible to have three different choices.

I thinkthe major thing will be the models that will have to be adjusted to fit two hands on the hilt.
idk for sure though, it should be possible allthough it would look incredibly derpy to see a hand grab the knob on the hilt.

I agree that it should be possible, it seems kind of silly that bastard swords can only be held in one hand if you have a shield or on horse back. We already know it's perfectly possible, and you can already kind of force it by equipping any random shield so just make it a normal alternate mode.

Its not that derpy, really, the problem is that you'll lose half swording.

bumping for more opinions and views

I have no idea why would you like to use bastard swords or morningstar as 1h since it loses so much speed and becomes useless anyway because of penalty.
Also looking from realism point of view: why would you hold a sword with one hand if you can hold it with both hands?

There is in Floris mod pack some morningstars for 1 handed , just add this

There are situations were the one hand animation are better than the two hand
The longsword has a polearm mode (noclue why) won't hurt if we can just switch to 1h mode at will.

The hilt on most 1h swords are made for 1h, hence they are to short for being held properly with 2 hands. They're made to be used with only 1 hand. Using them with both your hands would just be akward and look very silly.
