you can't use magic if you don't put points into intelligence and faith

you can also choose a knight or warrior or whatever class

you can simply just use good shields and step away instead of rolling

Bitch please.
Have you even seen medieval manuscripts?
Real armor was flashy, colorful, and highly decorated.
It was the fucking victorians who perpetrated the "knight in shining armor" myth and stripped the paint off of some sets to feel justified.

As for the game itself, I'll wait, need to see some actual gameplay first.

Alternatively, here's what most likely inspired the Drakeblood Armor of Dark Souls.

Used to think Chivalry, but I got tired of the high sens twirling and the stupid ass crouch, turn around, overhead swing shit. Probably could've learned how to to deal with that, but I just want to fight semi knight like, not whirling and jumping like a goddamn idiot..

>>339794782
You're right, That is King Henry's parade armor.
Pic related is King Edward the Black Prince, minus the mink shawl, he wore it many times into battle.
>>
>>339795086
And forgive the quality, don't have a good one on hand, but here is an example of painted armor.

The Middle Ages were colorful, and I hate it how video games try to make everything look like shit-stained brown.

It's not just video games either, it's media in general. It's a damn shame too; everyone just has this idea that the medieval era was all brown and misery when it wasn't.

>>339791968
He's right though.
Dark Souls 2's limited stamina regen and high stamina cost for actions actually meek you feel like you're wearing armor and have to time your roll perfectly instead of just spamming them like in DS3.

I want a knight game that emphasizes physicality and using leverage against a opponent rather than simply weapons.
Like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFiIDl_mt2c
If you're fighting someone in plate armor you should be able to tackle them to the ground and pull off the plate to kill them like or dagger them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6VrmOQY1M

The games I've seen are basically mashing buttons and trying to time and measure sword distance. A sword doesn't do much against heavy armor. No bec de corbins to penetrate armor either? Also a huge lack of jousting. Even that old SNES game where you could joust for land had jousting, it got ported to GBA too.
>>
>>339800179
out of the kits I have the 15thc plate armor is the most expensive
All in the milanese style with most being 16g steel and 18 on some of the lames, and the sallet being 14g used for rattan and live steel. With all of the arming garments and straps and stuff it was maybe over $2k burger bucks.

The maille early period crusader kit was more like $600 with all the arming wear and helmet but thats because i got butted mail since i wont be fighting in it other than light sparring.

For 8.3 million I could build a more castley looking castle and not have it be in a shitty country like Italy.
Its gotta be britain, norway, france, or germany.
I want germany myself. The castles from disney movies are actually based on real german castles, and I mean the German castle have the same design. The castle in their logo actually exists.
There was this faggot prince that funded the shit out of the arts and make a bunch of cool ass fucking castles there.

Cause its someone elses engine and they are just making assets and some dumb animations.

>>339804139
No shit, it's on the backburner of an already pre-alpha alpha design stage. But you wanted realistic, so they made combat have extreme penalties for being reckless. Tried to backstab a knight in full plate while you are in studded leather and a rondel? Guess what, his blow to your head, if it doesn't instantly disable you, now makes your footwork staggered, your attacks a tenth of the initial force, and you're bleeding
>>
>>339804354
>and look how little the gameplay has changed for that game over the years
M&B hasn't had a complete sort of sequel though, warband was just "M&B but better"
there were lots of mechanics added in warband from M&B like kicking and chambering that aren't in original M&B
there was also a parry system but they ended up removing it

Ok listen, knights didn't fight like in fucking M&B or Dark souls, stop telling that to yourselves and stop telling us that, it make you look like completely retarded.

If you really want to feel like a knight then i recommend you Mount and Blade Warband with Anno Domini mod, you have mounted fighting with lance charges, justes, defending your damsel honor, fight for your lord, etc.. Also the armors look amazing and realistic.

We import trees and wolves and have the wolves manage the game population. Look up the work of adolph murphy(national parks guy US history) or some shit, wolves help game populations grow by eating the weak and the wolves make it so we scare off vagrants and refugees. Then we make an inner tower, build another mountain and bridge the two with steel and then put on a fake stone outer shell because real stone is fucking shit to use.

You have to remember that peasants weren't exactly smart and horses were the equivalent of a fucking house in cost. That and even if you actually killed a knight, its not like you would be able to get away with that shit. They'd probably burn your village just for the knight dying on your land.
And you have to remember how dumb all these people are and how poorly they are equipped. Its not like they've seen movies where people used tactics like digging ditches to trip the horse or just realized they can just rush the knight with a few people and hold him down and steal his shit. Theres a fucking shiny armored nigger(well if he was muslim I guess) after you and he's got an actual weapon and no one has leadership skills. And theres evidence that maybe they were all high as shit too because they couldn't mill wheat correctly so theres that too.
>>339805672
Yeah but thats against calvary charges and shit where they surprise them and you have to remember that if they have pikes they are pretty well funded in comparison to most of the medieval world so they aren't shitty peasants like most were. Its not like you can just make a pike out of a tree anywhere or people even knew what a pike was everywhere. You had to be a noble or clergy to know shit.

We're talking about M&B where you recruit these people to fight for you and you are paying to equip them with whatever they have.

How surprising, you're lying again, I've never said that, try to understand my point and then answer.

When you, angry neckebeards, will prove me that any knight in the fucking history actually killed several dozens of angry warriors alone, you'll prove your point.

I will rewrite that because honestly, the fact that you didn't understand so far is frightening : PROVE ME THAT ANY ALONE HUMAN BEING ACTUALLY KILLED DOZENS OF WARRIORS HOSTILE TOWARDS HIM AT THE SAME TIME

It only lends credence to my statement I've asserted for retards like you to understand its not unheard of that even a person of little to no experience could have survived to kill dozens of people.

He criticized exploiting AI rather than the mechanics themselves which again isn't a discussion since both games have MP where you can test the mechanics against something that isn't an AI.

The mechanics in M&B are more based in realism, you don't roll in full armor and you don't fight with scythes or swords the size of your body in real life. M&B doesn't have any of that anime Jap nonsense.

The life expectancy of a Roman soldier was higher than that of an Ashigaru.

The art of organized melee warfare was perfected from the Hellenistic period to the late medieval era in Europe, in Japan they essentially used the same tactics for swords that they did with spears.
