So i just (re)watched Skallagrim’s video on horrendous misuse of shields in games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjZ6qWSenqI and this is my experience as well, in every medieval style game i played (even M&B though it’s lesser offender) characters just never make a proper use of there shield, the general policy seems to be that you can either attack or defend, and that is not how it was done, not at all, you used your shield all the time, you did not put your shield down before you took a swing with your sword, that would be silly, hopefully the devs of this game will take this into account when making a shield/weapon combo.

I think you can rest easy on this one. I have seen some early stages of sword and shield and it was heading the right way.
