Melee combat: Kicking and punching

Post » Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:46 pm

Hello, I'm here again whith another question.
We can using our fists and/or our legs to attack enemies?
Or maybe we can only use ''kicking'' like in Dark Messiah?
Thanks.

There is no kicking in the game and there are no fists fights. The melee system is focused around sword fights, parrying and blocking with them.

People are under the impression that this game is going to be Dark Messiah 2 essentially. It's not. Though it may be from Arkane it has more the feel of Thief and Deus Ex with a simple but solid melee system than anything else. Dark Messiah is a good game but I want to see the studio do something new and I find this system to be better.

Kicking in Dark Messiah was fun, but also horribly overpowered if you were anywhere near a cliff or spikes. Of which there were plenty. :P

Oh, but that's what the Wind Blast power is for. (I believe that's what it's called)
As for fistfighting, I prefer it stay with weapons/magic.

Yeah, that's how it will be in the final product.
