pete says no blocking with 1 handed

@DCDeacon Sorry if you've covered this but if you have a sword in one hand and nothing in left can you block then?

No, you'd punch in that case if your hand is empty.

Huh? I remember TGS footage showing a guy blocking with a one handed axe...someones mentioned that but he hasnt replied.
A simple mistake maybe?

Yea weird. I remember that one handed axe video - what else could that have been other than blocking?

This is so horribly confusing, I wish we would get clear, definitive answers not limited to that stupid twitter letter limit [censored].

What footage? I remember seeing a screenshot of a warrior holding a long sword/short sword with two hands... but that could be a power attack

This is why Todd needs to get Twitter already. However, the number of tweets he would get a day would be astronomical. :brokencomputer:

Who cares, firstly, we will find out for sure in a little over a month. Secondly, blocking is for little baby dragonborns. best defence is offence CHARGE......

Todd would have a team answering his twitters.

I'm sure Pete takes meds to deal with his twitter account.

I think Pete is mistaken, he is a PR dude, not a dev.
