Allright I played the newest version, and I like the items and whatnot as well as the armor, but you might want to consider this. The fact that helmets make enemies nearly invulnerable to overhead cleaves as well as sword swipes is extremely irritating, ESPECIALLY in tournaments. I have to fight on foot in order to take them out or use a spear on horseback, rather than using a sword on horseback as I normally do. Dunno if this is meant for realism or what but it means I have to totally change my playing style.
