One story: I played with 1handed sword, had fun, then got a 1handed axe with more dmg, thought more dmg, equipped it and fought, I couldnt even start hitting, enemies were always faster, even between enemies’ combos the weapon needed years to swing,
It’s not just a question of slowness and speed, there are also slow weapons like the Claymore which is very fun and intuitive to use.
But it’s true that some areas are actually worse than others from a moveset point of view.
If you are interested in weapon movesets I recommend you read this topic: Critique of Weapon Movesets .

Input: I hate it in games when you cant overwrite an input. I played with slow 2handed and wehn you push attack 2twice and then push roll (dodge) while you havent even STARTED your FIRST swing, the game still reads the 2nd attack. Is not just bad, it feels bad. Let me be able to overwrite inputs or have a button to stop attacking.
I’ve never had any problems with the input buffer on this game but maybe that’s just because I’ve played FromSoftware games and now I’m used to it, but I agree that it’s a problem.

Focus mage: I didnt care as much about focus while playing “fighter” as I did when I played a mage, I felt the drawback playing a mage. I like to play mage in Baldurs Gate, DIablo and Co. But in NRFTW you dont play a mage, you play like the barbarian in Diablo

You have to hit/parry to build up fury, so you can use spells. Yeah that’s how it feels to play mage in NRFTW, you play a barbarian, a fighter. My first thought is, just give me some spells that use stamina (which are not just projectiles) and some (stronger) spells that use stamina and focus (and therefore cost less focus than in current state)
There’s a whole topic on this discussion this is my opinion: Its fun to be a mage in Wicked? Because - #18 by Lombix_4
