I think it’s a MUST for this game.
Would love to see blood or dismemberment.
Beyond that I would not mind a wounding system that if you get hit you start to bleed out or have internal bleeding when stabbed, slashed, or crushed by weapons.
Or if you get hit in the head you get a mild stun or like blurry flash bang effect which wears off slowly but also slows down your reaction time or causes stumbling if you take too many too quickly or even knocked out if you do not see it coming.
Or if you get hit in the arms too many times you lose the ability to attack as quickly or parry or block if you take too many and get crippled or your body broken.
Or in your legs if you get hit which could reduce or take your ability to move from you.
But also that the more times you get hit the more you bleed and need bandages or salves or ointments from an apothicary or something to try to keep it from getting infected.

Already implemented.
While I think dismemberment might be interesting to have, I seriously doubt the realism of it. shrugs
I would prefer it to be adjustable in the options myself for both for increasing game play quality in lower end machines and so that the game can be somewhat more family friendly if desired.
once again, this should help you:
think more feedback on how much damage you did to the enemy should be great. They should bleed more if stabbed in the right area, or die straight away if you managed to land a full force blow on unprotected area.
Let’s say I hit my enemy on the unprotected head with an axe - that should kill straight away if I put all my force into it.
Makes armour very important too for the player

I have the same feeling 
I would also love to see some bigger effect after stabbing unarmored guys… I mean when you stab somebody, your sword should probably pierce him to some degree depeding on stregth of the strike… Right now it feels bit like my sword is totally dull 
Yes, at the moment you stab someone with a longsword through their skin and it feels you’re at recreation event, the guy pretends he’s hurt
I was thinking about this game too. Their bleeding system is great. I have never seen anything like it in any other game.
No it occured. For instance remains from a soldier from the battle of wisby showed that someone had cleaved through both his legs in one blow
Hell yeah I want it!
Maybe no decapitations? That’s not possible with a sword in a fight, but something like breaking arms, stabbing people in the eyes or heart (Shadow of Mordor-style http://youtu.be/wNUBTtNRB54),maybe even 3rd person view for a beautifull kill would be simply awesome.

While I dont yet have the game I have watched the Reformist Play this. I find the blood to be accurate, but I would prefer that they don’t focus their attention on creating an Insane Blood and Gore fest… Instead they should focus on building their world and polishing their day. Also if you want more Gore I believe they said mods will be available so wait for that 
Not really any such thing as a “blunt sword” - as a club it is fairly ineffective, all it’s utility comes from sharpness, so it behoves the owner to maintain an edge on his weapon.
Armour is resistant to slashing and to a lesser extent piercing and swords lack the impact to be reliable against armoured opponents. Then a mass weapon (either a sharp axe or a blunt hammer/mace) would be better - there isn’t much to choose between these with most armour - they have similar mass with a similar concentration and balance, which is very different from that of a sword (ironically swords used half sworded approach the value of a mace (the hilt and pommel are of similar weight and balance when the grip in on the blade).

I made that post in 2014, but looking at it, it seems like I was saying you’d be screwed trying to fight an armored opponent using a sword, it seems like you’re agreeing…
forget slowed movement if you break someones arm they shouldn’t be able to use the arm at at all
let it flail around like in dead island
on this video at 1:13 he gets shot and stays up for a while with only a trail of blood dripping down him people don’t just flop like a ragdoll if they get hit by an arrow
But they are not able to fight anymore.
He clearly wasn’t hit in an artery, if he had been then he would have most certainly died or at least been in critical condition a lot sooner.
I did not say this, nor did my post imply this, so i have no idea why you are saying this.
A arrow cut with every movement in muscle and organs. So if you get a n arrow you are not able to move as much like if you get a non critical bullet.
