New campaign video with a strong knight women:

>>342565428
Were there ever women knights?
>>342565428
i want this game so much
Hey, a woman in full fucking plate armor? Sign me up. They aren't going for a historically accurate game anyways.
>>342565581
Obviously
>>342565581
VERY few. But considering this is a game in which an Earth-shattering cataclysm brings Samurai and Norsemen within bludgeoning distance, I say fuck it.
>>342565428
fuckin jennifer hale is the voice
>>342565428
>>342565581
A woman knight or knightess is actually a misnomer, knight comes from a word that means boy. That's why there were dames.
>>342565581
most people would bring up Joan of Arc, but she never really took part in battle, she was basically a glorified cheerleader in plate.
>>342565827
>GoT as a historical reference point
>>342565581
Not even relevant really, the game is only short of Dragons from being full blown fantasy.
who /bushidowarrior/ here?
>>342566201
Joan of Arc was a maid and a saint in plate, as you said. She was never knighted. Women who were "knighted" or given honors were maids or dames or what have you, there might be the odd exception I'm not aware of but it'd be like that Polish King who had tits and a vagina.
>>342565581
I'd believe a female knight before I believe a katana doing fuck all to plate armor
>>342566403
A longsword would be far more effective.
I'm not super interested in this, honestly. It's Ubisoft which immediately makes me suspicious. Plus I would rather play Chiv and rainbow people to death
>>342566298
I think knights are the coolest but I know the deus vult spergs are going to ruin it for me.

Implying its not based on a true story? They are books not just a show you know.
>>342565428
What year is it in the game's timeline?
>>342566623
It's got some basis with the war of the roses, but it really is it's own thing.
GRRM shouldn't have opted out of having Arya and Jon Snow be a thing. That would have been hot.
>>342566201
lol wat
She was far more than a cheerleader. She no Brienne, but she certainly wasn't a mere cheerleader.
>>342566403
C'mon anon, everyone knows there is nothing a quality katana can't cut.
>>342565581
At least one notable historical figure fought in battles wearing armor. In terms of actual Knighthood... no evidence of such. But it's safe to say that a woman or two threw on some plate armor and fought in one war or another.
>>342566683
>samurai, vikings and crusaders
who the fuck knows anymore
>>342566474
The katana would shatter and the longsword would be equally ineffective.
>>342566683

She gave tactical and strategic advice. She was wounded by a crossbow bolt while carrying a banner during an attack.
Get the fuck out, you're retarded.
longsword would be so much more effective than a katana against an armored opponent and anyone who says otherwise is a contrarian, a weeb or ignorant.
>>342567221
not because of consoles. Bethesda games run like shit on consoles yet still have dismemberment. Ubisoft just doesn't do gore like that.

>>342567317
Nigga do you really think a long sword could cut through plate?
I'm not saying a sword couldn't be used effectively against a knight in full plate, but it sure as hell wouldn't be effective against the plate itself.

Damage values seem odd as fuck. A heavy overhead attack would knock off 80-90% health in the alpha, especially after a feint or guard break. I wonder if you can still spam light attack while changing attack angles. Still looks fucking great.
During the era of Knights for the first time in human history armor vastly outclassed weapons. People in full plate were basically invulnerable. There were tactics for killing them off course, such as knocking them to the ground and using claw hammers to peel them out of their armor, but any normal sword swing would do nothing to them. It wasn't until the invention of firearms that weapons once again outclassed armor.
>>342568002
a long water sword could cut through plate.

It's american show and american producers who casts actors.
>>342567969
I kinda like that. How easily you dispatch them really drives home the point that you're like swordsman jesus or something.
My one complaint is that they all seem to be manlets compared to the characters that actually matter.
Something I haven't seen, or has never been clarified. Are they characters "Warden" "Raider" or are they classes for an avatar that can be customized?

Knights look like a lot of fun if we get some nice giant hammers, possibly the samurais with those battle clubs or polearms
Only thing I really hope we get is some armor customization, I want set of golden knight armor

On a completely random aside here, lets hypothetically say that Tolkien wrote Golum as a female hobbit instead of a male. Do you suppose Golum would have to have a beautiful woman play her?
This is why i hate Ubisoft. Nevermind that their games pretty much follow the same formula . The fact they are outright PANDERING their games were creative freedom is not allowed. Watch Dogs 2 has female bodyguards, as if those even exist, solely to pander to the masses about equality.
If incest or pedophilia start getting positive buzz and the SJW started supporting these fetishes, no doubt Ubishill will be the first in line to cater to them. They have the talented devs, but being 100% in it for ONLY the money makes them a soulless game company with ZERO fans.
>>342568209

>>342568501

> however, female knights existed for centuries in many places in the world prior to this
yeah I'm gonna need a source on that. Wikipedia is flooded with feminists dedicated to messing with pages just like that.
The evil army in this seems really stupid. They're just dark fantasy knights. They should have been an army of spartans or a roman legion led by Ares.
>>342568693
> her character is supposed to be a giant
Because..?
>>342568673
Ideally you'd have a warhammer of some kind, as to whether a longsword or a 1 handed mace would've seen more use I can't claim to know. You weren't wrong though, armor was pretty damn strong.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi757-7XD94
I like winged great helms, hope its an option for a female knight.
>>342568853
the source material
>>342568443
she was intentionally made and designed to be ugly, it's not like a bad AAA video game where she was supposed to be attractive but bad graphics and art design didn't allow that
>>342567502
I'm french and I had to study her case, so yes Charles VII used her to improve the moral of his army and bring fear to the enemy, but she was put aside by the french generals (she was basically a pain in the ass). We know that during a short period before her capture that she engaged mercenaries and she sees itself as a independent warlord, but we don't know anything else about that time.
>>342568443
>America paid her so it's not England's fault they have an ugly actor
>>342568853
Because that's how it's written, a lot of her character revolves around the issues which arise from her being a hag.
What is a good narrative anon?
Brienne of Tarth is a qt3.14. That scene where she stands up in the bath and shows of her glistening ass is the best scene in the show.
Not really digging the combat so much. Looks pretty dull. Nice graphics, though.
>>342569193
>Because that's how it's written, a lot of her character revolves around the issues which arise from her being a hag.
This.
Her whole point is that she's doubly cursed; not just a woman in a man's world, but an ugly woman in a man's world. Catelyn Stark mentions this when she first sees her.
>>342569250
>Implying that was actually her
Body double, anon.
>>342568613
fuck you anon you nearly got me busted browsing /v/ at work
>>342568935
Mace, I think.
They were one of the few weapons effective against full plate.
>>342569250
I think she's way too attractive for her part, too violent too, but hey, it's an HBO show. You can't have an ugly girl not be a murderous loony just like you can't have an actual 13 year old girl get naked and get mounted by a hairy man after their wedding.
>>342567816
>She gave tactical and strategic advice
Not a that time, faggot. She was nothing for the french generals who defended Orleans for more than a fucking year.
>>342565428
i like the design and i think her armor looks CUTE. But the game looks trash.
>>342569424
Still the characters ass though
This game just seems to scream design by committee. It's soulless.
>>342565581
any women near the battlefield were raped so no
>>342569446
Well, a short mace or arming sword would actually be a sidearm to something like a spear or halberd. I have no doubt the mace was a popular weapon, mostly because of it's simplicity, but I still feel swords of all descriptions or even just the longsword would have seen more use.
>Half sword or whatever it's called when you grip the blade and hit with the hilt/crossguard
Surprised that's in.
>>342565428
>Lady knight is wearing a full set of armor
>Armor still looks pretty nicePretty cool but the game doesn't look very fun.
>>342568124
>knocking them to the ground and using claw hammers to peel them out of their armor
At Agincourt, it was rumored how plate-armored knights were knocked over and multiple guys would pin his limbs down in the mud and the dirt. Then they'd peel his armor off so they could stab at his vitals with a dagger, then they'd just leave him there to bleed out as they got on with the rest of the battle.
I'd like to see that kind of team-execution in this game.
I wish the smaller guys posed an actual threat. They should at least be able to block. It's bad enough that they never seem to attack, so they just stand around you waiting to die like in Dynasty Warriors
Also why the fuck do the japs have shields?? As mentioned, they don't even block so it's a useless bit of inaccuracy
Unless all the small units share the same animations, and they didn't want to make separate blocking ones for nip units. Guess we'll be seeing plenty of stabbing with katanas as well

No. There has never been a single account of a woman as a knight, nor would there be. Social stigma aside, it's basically physically impossible for a woman to be able to carry that much weight around with any functionality.
>>342570050
>Also why the fuck do the japs have shields?? As mentioned, they don't even block so it's a useless bit of inaccuracy
Because they have to fight against knights and vikings after the cataclysm?

In reality, sure. But the game has you playing as a 7 foot tall demigod of sword-borne carnage, if the regular foot soldiers dying by the dozens are any indication.
>>342570562
>You know fucking heavy that shit is?
Not nearly as heavy as you think it is.
>>342570562
Not that heavy, actually. Knights could full sprint in full plate if they needed to and they had to be able to endure wearing it for extended periods of time. And she's clearly a giant, I'm sure someone of her size would have no problem wielding a two handed sword
>>342570282

How so? My roommate is a gigantic SJW who loves to argue about this shit, I want to know what to say specifically to shut him down once and for all.
>>342570701
Not technically a knight, but what about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khawlah_bint_al-Azwar ?
Would her equipment not have been as heavy? It says the armor she was wearing was standard for those troops and considering her success in combat without anybody noticing anything you would assume she wasn't having difficulties with it.

Nope, even in Milanese full plate (first full plate armor which allow knights to move without horse) it was hard, theyr could full sprint with chain armor and plate chast, and even swim, but not in full plate.
>>342571145
Arabs don't use armor in early medieval.
>>342565581
To be fair, there were indeed female knights, but they made up like less than 0.01% of all knights that ever existed.
Female samurai is a complete myth.
Female vikings is a myth as well, but females from northern tribes tended to be much more stronger than other females. Some women and children of northern tribes would even go watch their husband fight to the death -- and they made sure he fought to the death. The wife wouldn't allow the husband to come back from the battlefield until he has won it or lost it.

Also the "source" of the edit was a single book by some literal who kraut lawyer who never cited sources to his claims and essays about European knighthoods.

not disputing this, but I know for a fact samurai's wives would have been expected to fight if there was an invasion or their home was under threat and were trained in at least basic combat.
>>342571145
Patriotic symbols, either used to motivate the people that were based off historical characters that became legend.
If we're going to go here and count this as a "knight" then there are several women that would fall into the category.
Did any of them actually fight? Highly unlikely.

Katanas are absolute garbage against anything except cloth and nudity. Heavy weapons will just break your bones through it.
>>342572067
You seriously don't know? Katanas are some of the worst swords ever made actually. They can't do shit against chainmail. In fact, some katana will likely break against chainmail armor. In reality, a samurai would never be able to defeat a knight, but in For Honor, the samurai will probably have magical ninjutsu / my ancestor gives me power bullshit.

The katana is designed to cut

Since this isn't exactly being historically accurate anyways, would it be better or worse to play as a female knightin a battle dress?
>>342565581
I'm not sure about proper knights but there female warriors at very few points in medieval history.
I think there are one or two cases in religious women taking roles in defending against the moors in Iberia.

Come on, man. Why is this necessary? I hate women as much as the next guys, but can you just let it go for once? The game's plot looks fucking creative as shit. Three feudal factions battling it out """""for honor""""" and the only thing you want to focus on is the accuracy?
>>342572661
Player character weeaboos seem to be using magical extra thicc nodachi, so straight up bludgeoning armour might not be so outlandish in this fantasyland.
>>342573163
Worse
The game isn't trying to be realistic but it is trying to be grounded in the setting it has, which isn't full out fantasy
>>342573163
I feel like this is just a quick way to symbolize what class you're fighting against.
Like the Kanabo Samurai shown in the Viking Campaign trailer will probably always be a Fat Fuck be it a woman or a man.

Big fantasy axes won't work in real life, real battle axes were small so they could punch through armor

A woman has probably worked in almost any combat or typically male dominated role at some point in history if you look it up. Its just statistics.
>>342573135
She has been reported to charge into enemy frontlines followed by her fanboys.
Odds are while she hasn't killed anyone, people caught by her horse would at the very least be maimed
>From the moment she first rode onto a battlefield, Joan went far beyond being merely the tireless good conscience of the army. From the moment she first laid eyes on her country’s English enemies, she aroused the will of her soldiers to fight. Joan was a fine and forceful speaker but her ability to inspire the French soldiers stemmed from her leading them into battle in the most literal sense possible. She was in the front rank of every assault that she ordered to be launched. The fighting men who knew her testified to this repeatedly. D’Aulon recounted that at the battle fought outside the English fort of the Augustins, near Orléans, the French were withdrawing unmolested back to Orléans when the English suddenly appeared to attempt a surprise attack on the rear of the French column. Joan arrived on the scene just at that moment, accompanied by the French mercenary captain La Hire. Both of them were on horseback, armed with lances. Joan, with only La Hire at her side, immediately and impetuously leveled her lance and charged headlong at the English. D’Aulon said that she and La Hire struck the first blows at the enemy. The French knights and common soldiers, stung to action by Joan’s example, turned about and swept the English from the field. They went on to storm the Augustins that day, giving Joan another victory.13 (Sadly for historians, La Hire died before Joan’s retrial began. His testimony would have been invaluable.)14

japans rape squads? man, imagine how awkward that would be, trying to hide in that department. you end up being that "weird guy who never rapes anyone but sodomises them with sticks instead or something, something about something something fetish...". the black duckling of the rape squad. always going to the bushes alone to piss while we just piss on the bodies themselves and shit. weirdo.

Axes meant to handle both armor and flesh had small heads but battle axes designed for use at most against light armor only aimed for larger cutting edges, hence things like bearded axes which reduced weight but retained edge length. Anti-armor axes also tended to blend into warhammers or had such spiked heads on the opposite end.
Will probably buy for my PS4 so I can drunkenly yell BONNNZZAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII into the mic as a samurai

No one would expect a chick to be part of a rape squad. Its the perfect way to get someone to lower their guard.

You are thinking in terms of the modern concept of "men versus women". In the past, it was more of "us versus them", tribe versus tribe.

I read somewhere that knights armor weighed less than soldiers gear today. It was also easier to carry since it was spread out around your body.

>>342566826
For any anon that's curious, women did fight in the middle ages and some of them probably donned armour. However, most of the time this only happened in one kind of situation: sieges and attacks on towns. There may have been exceptions, but women usually only fought to defend their homes, and seldom if ever took part in aggressive action. The Deeds of Commander Pietro Mocenigo is a good primary source that provides a eyewitness accounts of this happening. It's also a wonderful illumination of how real life medieval warfare was exactly like Mount and Blade.
>>342565428
Looks boring. Combat especially looks like clunky trash.
This game seems like it could be really fun but I'm worried since it's Ubisoft that they'll either fuck it up terribly out of the gate with bugs and all or ruin it with DLC and micro-transactions out the ass.
>>342575504
Has it got U-play? I fucking hate U-play.
>>342575390
Where are the strong Samurai Women?
>>342575504

Nah I'm sure they'll do both
>>342575390
Did it hurt to get the stick that far up your ass or are you gaping on the reg
>>342575625
Wouldn't be shocked honestly.
Sort of hoping that this Vivendi thing is lighting enough of a fire under their asses that they actually try instead of fucking it all up.

I don't really give a fuck if they put them in a multiplayer game, but if they had some sort of campaign for them it'd be dumb as fuck.
>there's a female knight and he whole thread fucking blows up.
Who the fuck cares when the games wans't intended for historical accruacy in the first place? Never change veeeeeee e ee eee ee eee
>>342575617
They are there.
Check the first trailer, it has Naginata wearing Samurai woman
>>342565581
yes, but not really the way you'd think.
They were knights in name, they may have even seen combat or at least the battlefield.
But they weren't front line warriors by any means.
>>342565428
This looks fun. Although I'm confused as to what the plot was to the mission. Particularly the ending.
>>342565428
Women shouldn't even be in battle, much less a fucking knight in the medieval times when physicality was essential.

Did anyone notice that while the warden is like 3 heads taller than the mooks, the guy who knighted her is like 2 heads taller than her? Is this some invader zim shit where only the tallest get the good armor and swords?
>>342576517
>>342574603
shes still not nearly as strong as an average male. Female bodies just arent built to put on the amount of muscle male bodies are.
There are videos of normal guys challenging body building strongwomen whom they can easily beat.

This is my new fetish. Bring on the videos.
>>342570701
armor's weight is distributed around the body making it much easier to move in than you would think.
you can do cart-wheels in full plate armor.
>>342574603
it's possible for women to be stronger than men, but not proportionately as strong as men.
A woman who trains rigorously may eclipse the dymorphisim advantage a man who is a lazy shit has, but at any kind of parity the woman will be completely out-matched.
And there was no 4chan to shitpost on all day while eating cheetos back in the middle ages, so chances are most men aren't that unfit.
This means a woman would have to be incredibly dedicated to try and be a decent fighter, abandoning the responsibilities and expectations the rest of the world was pressuring her with.
It's not impossible for a woman to wear armor or swing a sword, but doing something and doing it well enough to not be killed by someone else are two different things.

My dick says both are fine and fuck the lot of you. However, it is still an Ubisoft game, so I'm treading extremely carefully. But fucking NONE of that has to do with factual inaccuracy.
