I hadn't noticed until you brought it up.

Doesn't mean there are going be featured. I mean, so far I've yet to see one of those in-game wise. Let's cross fingers.
I know what you meant, mate. ThanksOriginally Posted by Megas_Doux Go to original post
And I think this sword in the CGI trailer was a way to convey a finisher, which is using an enemy's weapon against him.
Thre are daggers and one can use the greatsword in one hand if he has a shield, but doesn't count.
I can't believe you can weaponize a shield and even dual wield shields but you can't weaponize an enemy's sword.

I can't imagine an AC game without one handed swords since they have been in every single version ..... It's kind of like the bows, they are hardly ever in the promotional material yet there were great bows in both Origins and Odyssey and I expect the same here ...... I'll do as I usually do and go with an archer build because that's my strong suit but when it comes to melee I expect to use a sword in my right hand and an axe in my left and rarely use a shield except on the rare boss where it's a necessity ..... I didn't miss shields one bit in Odyssey since I really didn't like them in Origins because they slow you down so much although they look a bit more agile in Valhalla whereas they were kind of clunky in Origins
i think in the part 2 of the current playthrough of gameriot his eivor uses the one handed sword of an enemy to kill him, but it was an "animation", thus no real combat. but i wuold assume that it will be possible, they just didn´t showed it off yet? It would be a bummer if it´s missing, it is kind of my "benchmark weapon" to compare the combat systems and animations in all games, since i usually just free roam and unleash on enemies a bit with it in every game.
Again, would be a bummer, but i fully plan on going all in on the chained mace type, since Septimius wielded it i want it so bad...
It is possible, yeah. Although i wouldn´t count anything out yet. Darby stated explicitly in the AtA Interview that there is a possibility to visit Vinland after completing certain tasks and that would be on some unspecified behalf of the order since they went to Vinland ahead of the Vikings (they did so around 1000) and in Rogue there was a collectible on pearl Island (which can very easy be a part of vinland) which is related to vikings and medium length one handed weapons![]()
The only way we havent seen a one handed sword class while i IS in the game, is if it only becomes available in later zones, but this idea makes little sense for a few reasons:Originally Posted by ThorfinnDraksen Go to original post
1) Every OTHER weapon type seems to have been available to the previewers. why is THAT particular one not? it seems like the game wants to allow players to pick their favorite weapon right at the first zone. so if there is no 1H swords at level 20, I guess it wont be, period.
2) we havent seen any promotional material of eivor using this weapon.
This isnt a conclusive falsification of my claim there are no 1h swords since promotional materials haven't shown daggers and spears either. However, I HAVE seen both in gameplay vids. not 1h swords though.
Has anyone seen footage of anyone using a claymore sword with a shield?
