I know that it's hard to make the in-game mechanics accurately simulate real life, but as it stands, stab mechanics are not up to par. Explain to me why it is possible to stab someone with the middle of a weapon, where half the weapon is behind the enemy, and why it is possible to "steer" stabs. How can you kill someone with a stick massage? This is bullshit kibosh and I'm sure most people will agree, except for the ones who only play to collect kills.
Devs, you make so many changes and release so many patches but you have yet to address such a simple issue. You release so many patches but you have not yet addressed this little issue. In the near future some other game devs will make a warband clone, but with better mechanics, which will overtake c-rpg and regular warband in playercount. As you see now with the release of WoTR and Chivalry, other studios are already trying, they are weak now but they will get better.
Now I remember a second bug, when you miss an overhead attack the weapon merely bounces off the ground and you can attack again immediately after, this is not realistic. In real life if you missed a swing it would get stuck in the ground or an enemy would step on the weapon. Please fix it.
