[KCD1] [KCD2] I wish swords wouldn't be able to wound or kill plate armored foes

:dialog_mirrored: Discussion :dialog:

For the sake of realism in the game, I would have LOVED it if using a sword, no matter what perks or strength of sword or skill level your Henry is, it would not be able to deal any type of damage to an enemy that is covered in full plate as that is what the hammer is for.

As of now, my Henry is maxed out in all skills and levels and has a henry quality sword that can take out a full plate armored enemy in 10 seconds with a masterstrike followed by a combo.

It should be that doing that would amount to nothing more than as if the enemy got punched by a fist and that's it, nothing more.

I've never fought with an actual sword or wore armour, most I've ever done was hold an actual bastard sword and use a sabre to cut off a winecork but seeing how swords would fare against armor in videos like by the YouTuber Dequitem, it's clear that there is no way that a sword pierce or slash would in anyway injure an enemy in full plate unless of course, they manage to stab hard into the unarmored area.

In such case, there should at least be a specific combo that would lead to an animation for example if Henry got the enemy to raise their arms then at least stab through and slice the armpit even if they're wearing chainmail then that itself would be okay at least for me, or an animation where Henry gets up close and manages to hold them and pull out his dagger and stab through the neck, things of that nature, right?
