Hello,
What other weapons should we encounter in the game? Pikes, halberds, staves, maces and axes should make their appearance, so far combat system was demonstrated only with swords.

The combat video showed that more than just swords would be available and warhorse has said that there will be hammers and maces and they’ve shown bows and crossbows so I think it’s going to be a complete medieval arsenal.
The best weapon will always be another person.

Yeah, I am interested to see update videos in the future of other weapons, since they are all used differently from one another. Like a pollaxe, for example, which is used like a quarterstaff, and messers had some different techniques from other swords.

Right now only swords are implemented into the combat system. More weapons will follow and we will share the info in the updates further in the future.
Yes, we want to implement all weapons you mentioned except for staves.

I would appreciate sort of blunt weapons as maces and most of all flails. I hope there will be any, and wish luck to stuntmans and swordmans with making realistic movements for animation.
At least the flails are fails, because they can’t implement it at least for the first act. They’re some sort of special weapon which requires special treatment for each type of weapon opposing the flail. The big issue is the chain, I guess. Other weapons are pretty stable in their behavior and even the polearm-type weapons are difficult to implement. Let’s see what we’re going to get.
And you think that I don’t know that? I was a swordsman once too and know how the flail works a little. It is a deadly weapon. If you can use it it’s deadly to your enemies, if you can’t it’s deadly to you.
And words “would appreciate” and “hope” doesn’t mean “must have”, just mean what they are.
I’m doing some programing and 3D modeling of some sort too, so I can imagine it is hard to implement, but it isn’t impossible.
And I really hate the attitude that some one tells me 10 reasons why it is not possible before he even tried and don’t come with way that could success.

[/quote]Thanks, but he didn’t mention morning stars and since these are way different then the other weapons mentioned I’m curious about their inclusion.
Thanks!
Given the level of attention to detail thus far I would expect they would have all/ 80% of the following in this list, time period etc depending.
I would look forward to using longer and sophisticated two handed Weapons like Poleaxes, Halberds, etc.
The arsenal of the weapons sounds very great so far. Sure it would be great if some new weapons would be added with the second and/or third act of the game but for the the first act, I’ll be fine with ones already announced. Can’t wait to crush some knight’s helmets with a steel made, spiked mace
Well, he just tried to explain you that flails won’t be implemented. At least for act one, which they mentioned in the stream. They will implement it maybe later on (act 2,3)??? But I’m not sure… they didn’t commit to it. The reason why they won’t be implemented is probably physics of chain and I think he just tried to give you some reason, not just the answer no…
Yes i understood u with the flails, but i only meant the mace as it is shown in the combat preview picture together with 4 swords, two axes and a staff weapon.
This image from KS page might give you a clue 
the only missing weapon is flail which is planned but very challenging so it might end up not being in the game ever.
Yes thats the picture i mentioned above
No staves? That’s a pity. A staff can do some serious damage, keep the opponent at a distance, and it’s widely available.

As long as it has swords, maces, axes, and bows on release I will be happy. they can always add more in patches/ free dlc
I would like to see some agricultural tools picked up by the commoners in need, but I guess that is too much programming for too few events.
I do so love polearms but I’d be happy with a humble spear.
