a poison tipped spear with additional blades attached to the sides in front of it. making it difficult for your opponent to dodge or duck out of the way.

Against armoured enemies: poleaxe when you're in full plate, halberd when in lighter armour and hammer when there isn't room to swing big weapons or you are using a shield.

Against lightly armoured enemies: spears.

Long sword against light armored opponents and war hammer/mace/battle axe in this order against against mail and plate armed ones:



But I am not sure if commoners like young Henry well allowed to carry long swords which were considered nobles weapons anyway; here is test against more modern helmet:



As you can see Comrade blunt and piercing pole arms weapons work good against plate even when they don't manage penetratration; on the other hand swords and axes being cutting weapons can damage arteries and make opponent bleed quickly.

Is Czech voice acting planned? I want to play in native language.

They already have English, Spanish and French VO. That had to be pretty expensive with a massive game like that. I guess they'll add a Czech VO only if the game sells very well.

English, French and German, no Spanish VO. And they have said many times that czech VO is not an issue of money, the cost of it compared to the whole development is negligible. The problem is time, they don't want to let another company handle it (because it would be shit), and want to do it themselves, which they simply don't have time for at the moment. In fact, they didn't even want to do any other VO than english, it's Deep Silver who wanted to have French and German VO and it's them who recorded it, WH only did english VO themselves.

For duels and light/medium armored oponents (even groups of these).

For any other situation, specially a battlefield.

That video is fucking great but why is there gameplay of the protag stabbing another dude in full plate with a dagger from behind, typical modern "stealth" style, instantly killing him? The dagger should have plenty of trouble penetrating that shit.

Also are the kicks and shoves still in the game? I haven't seen them in the most recent gameplay showcase.

Probably because it is still a game, not reality simulator, and the buck has to stop somewhere, if we actually ever want to play it.

I agree with this assessment, but i would prefer a more pronounced bec de corbin on the last example, like in the second example.
