I was thinking about all of the funky ways you can swing a weapon around and it occurred to me that if we can have a secondary mode, why not a third and a forth?
I think this is one of the few examples where more realism could actually make the game play more fun.
So an example;
Longsword
Regular straight up, pokie/slashy
Half swording, even more better pokieness
By the blade, you hold the blade of the sword and use it like a hammer, depending on the guard/cross guard it could either do blunt of pierce.
Many, many weapons have similar options. It could be very cool. Perhaps one day we could even introduce hooking allowing you to use weapons to hook and push people around or drag a shield (ie with an axe). Hopefully though it would be like nudge though, a bit more counter able and difficult.
