My old Sgt once told me “the first rule in a knife fight is, you’re going to bleed.” I know dagger fighting isn’t practical but it would be cool to see low level bandits using only clubs and daggers. I think it would also be cool to see Dirk, Rondel, Stiletto and other types of daggers implemented. Perhaps it would be cool to see the daggers used as a light parry weapon as a stand in for a shield but with limited block to two handed or blunt weapons. I know this fighting style became popular in the late Renaissance and might not be as practical for the type period in witch plate armor was used. I love the option to use a knife for stealth kills and I think it would be cool as an option to finish off fallen enemies with a dagger the same way as with other weapons. I am loving this game and would love to hear the communities thoughts!
Dagger fighting is very practical, it’s a knight’s most handy and deadly weapon, it fits in armor holes like visor etc, it’s easy to handle and the opponent can’t see very well where it is (assuming it’s another full armored opponent with a visor).
I agree with Eesti, I don’t understand why you cant use a dagger to finish off an enemy once they are down.
like maybe if you crouch next to the downed NPC if you have a dagger in your inventory you can finish them off more personally like in the game “War of the Roses”
