Enemy blocking sword hits with his bare hands

I just got into a fight with a peasant. He has no armor, and no weapon. I have full armor and a sword. He would block every single one of my hits with his bare hands. Fucking bare hands. How the fuck can he block a sword with his hands and not lose health at all? Also, at the end where the enemy surrenders, every time I tried to hit him he would suddenly dodge my attack. Video proof (sorry about the sound and shitty video quality).

In which system do you play the game, pc?
Probably, even blocking, you are damaging him. It can also be that you are using a sword that you dont have the stats to use it properly so you dont make many damage.

Pd. Youre a coward fighting a pesant with a sword and running backwards

It’s a sword. It does not matter if I’m using a sword that I don’t have stats for. And yes, I’m playing on pc. And I had to fight him to free some dude that they locked up

You can equip all weapons, but if you dont have the required stats you will do shitty damage as you can’t use it properly.

Well that’s stupid. I get that I don’t have skill for that weapon (I need strength 6 and I have it on 5) but come on, It’s a god damn sword. It should cut the person, not bounce off him like a toy. After all, they are going for realism.
I’ll try to grab a sword that I have skills for and see if there’s any difference.

EDIT: I got myself a new sword that matches my skills, got into a fight again with him, and same thing happened. He just kept blocking my hits with his hands.

Seems more like a bug then an unskilled Henry…

I’ll try to fight somebody else who has no weapons, I’ll edit this reply with my results.

EDIT: I just attacked some random guy who has no weapons. He started running. Every time I managed to collapse him and tried to hit him, he would immediately get up and start running. I really think that something is wrong with unarmed npcs.

And it is bug in concept , they ll pay 2 much to fix it if ofc they try.
