    Can we see a Scimitar / Curved Sword (maybe dual) wielding character?

    Would love to see this type of Hero in For Honor, even if it was a Kopesh or something similar to those type of weapons and fighting style, super flashy moves and so forth. I ask this as we've got Hero's from a lot of different backgrounds and styles, why not this one?

    Also it would be cool to have something resembling the Prince from Prince of Persia in the game, as it's also a Ubisoft game. A character similar to the Prince from PoP Warrior Within or Two Thrones would fit best as they were quite a lot more dark and slightly more realistic than the 1st in the trilogy.

    Think about how badass the hero would be if it were similar to this:

    We already have two dual wielders, and two characters with curved blades. I don't think we should be limited to such a category. Let's just wait and see what the devs come up with, shall we?

    Two dual weilders yep. Two characters with curved blades... who are they?. I cant remember a character using a curved sword. Hope you are not talking about katana, pretty diferent than a scimitar.

    He said curved blades, and I pointed them out. Yes they are different, but also similar, hence me previous comment. I'm sure the devs have plenty of ideas floating around for the last two characters (I would think the next two are pretty much set in stone at this point), so I figure let's just wait and see how things turn out.

    I would be totally on-board for a new prince of persia inspired hero.

    Hell yeah, @UbiNoty! Like there's no reason not to have one, considering PoP is a Ubisoft title and For Honor would be a fitting place to pay homage to those great games.

    @Felis_Menari - Katana's don't count as curved swords, curved swords count in things like Kopesh, Scimitars, Sabres, Shotes, Shamshirs, etc. Too many types to name, but those class as curved swords. And to the "too many dual wielding characters" we have Peacekeeper, Beserker and now Shinobi. That's 3, we have 7 characters that use two-handed weapons (not counting Centurion as he uses his sword 1 handed) and 3 sword and board characters. If anything to even out the variety we could do with more dual wielding characters, if not that, then sword and shield characters. I did say I'd like to see a scimitar/curved sword wielding character, not necessarily a dual wielding one, either way I'd be happy to see it. ESPECIALLY if it was Prince of Persia inspired as Noty said. I would be insanely excited to see that.

    I never said we had too many dual wielders (so where did you pull that from? o_O), and as stated before, the katana/nodachi are technically curved blades. It is, what it is.

    @Felis_Menari "We already have two dual wielding heros" kinda makes it seem like you're saying we're good (generally got enough) dual wielders, lol. Don't mean to be that guy, but physically the katana/nodachi are slightly curved, but aren't classed as a "curved sword" by google, only pics of kopesh and scimitars come up, really. So either way, a eastern warrior-type with a scimitar-type-curved sword would be very cool.
