[Poll] Alternative 2h stab animations.

[BlindGuy]

NOOOO I wanna see new animation ingame. I have no beef with old one tbh, except for the fucked things it does to your wrists (hands dont go INSIDE arms, Im pretty sure), its still very strong, although not actually possible for humans as it happens in warband, its not far off.


But... change is good sometimes too, although of course changing it for amusement would be nice, or for balance, as long as it isnt for nerfing due to historical input, since I really dont get whole discussion about the posture there was recently: Yes the closest you will find in guide books is a high guard, but IRL 2hand stabs are much more OP than in warband: IRL almost any sword you can easily in 2hands can be used to stab 1handed, increasing your reach dramatically. While at extension the sword may not be as controlled as you would like for very clean style, it has been proven very effective. So, before anymore QQ about 2hand stab, imagine how much more fucked you would be if they could stab realistically.

I like it. What would be fantastic is if some swords (Estoc comes to mind) had both stabbing animations, Basically making them 3D weapons instead of 4D but with two stabbing options as in all those other stupid mods. It would take getting used to and at the beginning would be totally OP.

I'd also love to see alternate half swording for the long sword and german. Current half swording for the german and then upside down revers grip from the long sword turning it into a blunt hammer potentially with knock down (also it makes the long sword unbalanced when in it's alt mode).

Now for cool sword fight videos!!!

PS the current animation is realistic.

Even more important proof of throwing swords.

Also some of the great swords should have the half and swording of the long sword as I mentioned.

Also add throwing swords!!!

Does it have a ballsack on the pommel? I didn't think so. ItalianSword4Lyfe

Obviously a two-handed variant is needed for smacking people with a metal ballsack.

Would have to see how the stab translates in speed bonus changes, it looks like the bonus would probably be bigger than the current thrust.

[BlindGuy]

Bump why isnt this in the game yet?!

[Artyem]

Because 2h thrust is the only advantage they have, obviously.

Well, the stance used in Warband (and cRPG) can be used for thrusting, but the fact that it's being used solely as the thrusting animation is pretty silly.

Here's another interesting video on a similar topic:

Edit:

The swing animations for two-handed weapons are very straight forward and to the point, there's no specific or special footwork, and you're basically just swinging your weapon.  Which is why the current stab animation is (and always has been) very awkward.  I think it would make more sense for the sword to be held lower and closer to the body, with more control over the thrust and the blade itself.

That is yet another stance, but makes more sense than the current one in my opinion.  I honestly don't expect it to get replaced, as that requires effort that nobody in this community wants to put forward.  But, it is worth it to point it out, so that maybe the developers will take it into consideration for their upcoming game.

Yes please! The current 2h thrust is so fantasious and so stupid that it makes no fucking sense.

EDIT-The thing that would "fix" 2h vs. pole balance/diversity is the proposed change from a while ago (that got shelved) where polearms would only deal their stated damage at the end of the weapon, and a much reduced blunt damage for inboard strikes. 2h swords would then be suitable for all ranges, but polearm would require careful attention to spacing.

Yeah, whatever happened to this? Would be really good!

Afaik it would have required to move to WSE2 which for whatever reason was never done and then the major focus was shifted to M:BG.

Just ask your mom to embark on a dangerous journey and infiltrate the depths of your basement labyrinth, while dodging perilous porno stashes and various unidentified stains, and have her upload the files for you.

I may end up re-making from an earlier version, but I have a lot of revision I should be focusing on :p.

[Gravoth_iii]

2h stab isnt even the best stab anymore, if this means a nerf i dont think it should be implemented tbh..

[Jarold]

Anything Senni does is worth a look.
