    Stereotypical Technique Arts (?)

    Don'T get me wrong. I love how For Honor is complex and well-made, but I kind of dislike the display of many warriors with the same techniques.

    For example: There's a technique called "Battojutsu". It is the technique of drawing the weapon out of the scabbard and dealing damage so while drawing.

    Here are some examples.





    If this could be part of a more diverse strategy of this game, I'd be willing to give my future first and second son for that. :P

    Battousai-... I mean Kenshi-... I mean Battoujutsu

    Battoujutsu is certainly something I would like to see in this game as part of the Chosen's repetoire, and on some level I am sure the devs have this planted in their minds as well when talking about "future classes". While I wouldn't necessarily go so far as to say it adds a whole new world of depth, I would definitely say that this is a flavour that could benefit the game greatly! Looking forwards to hearing more about the possibility for this to be implemented for sure!

    Agree

    And also some Glima techniques for the vikings, being used as powerful (but risky, since the moves almost always ends with both the attacker and the enemy on the ground) takedowns/stuns moves. Just food for thought.

    Glima would probably work splendidly for tackling opponents that are overpowering your teammate. For some reason I get this picture in my head of Gimli flying through the air and tackling and orc that is about to hit Legolas in the back. A good image it is.

    May be a bit difficult to utilize since it is very open for outside interference, but perhaps it could make for interesting dynamics.

    Different techniques should definitely be added in-game it increases a lot of variety in battle.
