What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

Chivalry was at it's best when black knight servers came into play, I have fond memories of one match where a knight in spawn bashed everyone's kneecaps off and then led a team of armored midgets into battle. That and times where I'd be soldiering on with one arm, one leg and no head trying to get in a last kill or two before I went down. :black101:

it's not listed as owned DLC on steam. It should just be available in the game.

I think Chivalry was best in the first few weeks when everyone was bad and nobody did any of this, personally.

So it'll be the gruesome foursome (and that one fucker) back again? No more additional characters? Shame.

voicework and the like counts for a lot. it's a hefty process to add even a single extra character.

Which is funny, since I would bet money they did all their recording independently.

Agreed. Fatshark has commented the degree to which players connected with the characters as one of the things they were really pleased with, and one of the reasons they decided on bring them all back. Another reason sited was that they liked the way the group consisted of misfits that for the most don't like each other much.

I do find it very charming how all the character ages range from "uncle" to "grandpa" to "centuries-old nigh-immortal". Kind of a rarity in video games.

Most PCs in the Warhams RPG, which this is an awful lot like, are either 17 year old conscripts in way over their heads or old veterans.

I just started playing this on Xbox. Then after unlocking nightmare I promptly got kicked out of a match for hurling fireballs not realizing that friendly fire existed.

Aside from that, game is pretty fun and I’ve been playing the wizard with a conflagration staff, and the dwarf with a 2hander with improved block.

A little friendly fire's not too bad, it's pretty plinky damage and mostly annoying for messing up aim, but yeah learning that it exists at all once you hit NM+ is always funny :v:

Also there's never friendly fire on melee attacks, so swing away.

The glaive is real nice, the sword and dagger's also still a good pick, trueflight used to be easily her best ranged but I think it might still be all weird, because at one point they changed it to not go for headshots anymore or something.

Aimbots are lame anyway. Are the shortbow/longbow good?

e: also basically all the chat on weapons is about killing blow, does that still apply with the nerf?

Longbow's nice enough, hagbane screws roger up real good, but it's also like the most annoying weapon to get friendly fired by cause of the poison. Perk-wise killing blow is still nice, bloodlust will always be strong too.

One thing I've never been sure of: how do headshots interact with armored enemies? Do they still use the armored damage type plus a multiplier, or is it treated as unarmored?

This is an unsubstantiated gutfelt reckon on my part, but I always kinda figured the "armor piercing" quality on a weapon was what affected this being or not being the case.

My citation is: i have run almost exclusively AP weapons since stormvermin spawns were cranked up to 11 on nightmare, and that's what's felt true emotionally for the last *checks steam page* what do you mean i've played for 250 hours holy poo poo

I actually checked out a spreadsheet. It looks like the answer is headshotting armored enemies still counts as hitting an armored enemy, but they have a special added damage instead of the usual headshot multiplier

Kruber's careers are up. In additional to the knight, he can be...

A mercenary (his versatile class)


A right wing survivalist (woodsman, ranged focused).

His huntsman bio specifically mentions that particular Kruber is now a raging alcoholic. I wonder if that will show up in dialog.
