My question is, will KCD have some of the more out there techniques with weapons such as half swording, flipping the sword upside down and using the pommel to strike, and many other more unknown combat techniques. I was just wondering if the game will have any of these things in it, or if anyone wants these techniques.
I asked something similar on Kickstarter. I believe the answer is that they plan for half-swording to be in it, and “maybe Act 2?” for the Mordschlag (holding the blade and striking with the pommel).
EDIT
Found the Kickstarter answer from Jan 22
"halbschwerte is definitely in the plan, about mordschlag, I am not sure. Maybe in Act II?"
The combat system alone is reason enough to get this game.

We should be lucky if the combat system even works with the “normal” weapon techniques. So far only sword combat and archery is implemented IIRC. And they seem to work on combat with shields. Everything else is just planned on the white board (polearms, daggers, axes, maces, hammers, crossbows, throwing weapons,…) without any actual implementation yet.
Maybe then - if everything works together well as intended - we can talk about combat technique variations again.
