Bannerlord players hear me!
So I just wanted to get some other opinions on the state of 2handers multiplayer. I come from playing a lot of Warband where I felt things were really well balanced so maybe I've been a bit spoiled but MAN. I find 2 handers outrageous in multiplayer. Big issue for me is that when enemies are wielding massive long axes or 2 handed swords in Warband if these were used in super close range they would (sensibly) wiff/glance and do nothing therefore if you went in close against 2 handers you had a good chance of countering them. In Bannerlord it seems they've changed it up so if you are using a 2hander and catch someone at the very start of your swing (which would be the wooden shaft of the weapon) it still obliterates whatever it touches and deals massive damage. My problem with this is twofold:
1) You shouldn't be able to use 2handers in such close/face huggy range
2) this means the weapon is artificially sped up and actually often beats any 1 handers to the punch
This is without mentioning how absurd the menav is or the Falx.
What are your guy's thoughts? You think the 2handers needs balance or am I too stuck in my Warband ways?
