I’d like to add my voice to the requests for weapon options that enable a sort of unarmed “Monk” class path. The most important from my playthrough of the prologue with no weapon is that there should be a weapon type which:
Has increased damage from complete unarmed
Scales based on a stat (or stats)
==Has the ability to parry / block (with more stamina required per use?)==
Possibly ties to a superlight weight class that encourages wearing less (or very light) armor?
I simply love using bare hands in fantasy games! Remember when the “fist” build in Dark Souls became a thing? I got hooked on the game right then. It’s the first thing I try out whenever I play a new action fantasy game.
Dietlama’s suggestion is a great one. I really hope for an update that includes fist weapons and some form of martial arts.
The completely unconventional kick-based playstyle is also appealing. Please devs, consider this idea! We love your game.
For now, I’m just playing Berserk with greatswords. (My second favorite)
