Drawing sword to slow.
Get into a fight or someone decides to draw their sword and hit you with it, leaves you at a disadvantage. You go through the long animation of drawing your sword while who ever is attacking you has whipped theirs out and killed you before you can get your sword out of it's sheath.
Same when you meet bandits on the road they are on you before you can get your sword out. Because of all the fancy animation and farting about, that they don't seem to be burdened with.
Can't we please just get our swords out with out all the fancy stuff that no one see's?

I done a little test with this in the first game, same in this. Change from bow to sword seems pretty slick out of combat, but as soon as you see a enemy your fumbling everything. Don't know if it's by design.
Really frustrating though because most times you are left at a disadvantage even before you take on 4 armed bandits.

That's exactly what i thought, i tried it out of combat, smooth...then in combat something seems off.

Worst part is the NPCs are lighting fast drawing their swords. If you get sneezed at animation stops and your hosed, they get hit by a freight train and have time to eat a sandwich then
parry or just swing on you before the second hit
It's the character, imo. You're not playing as some create-your-own Skyrim demi-god(with modded G-cups) character. You're playing a ptsd nobleman knight during the 15th century.

20 yards from a bandit ambush and was about to turn and ride off into the sunset, but no. My horse throws me and then I go through the painfully slow animation of getting to my feet only to drop back down dead. While I was farting about with this wonderful animation the bandits had strolled up from 20 yards away and diced me.

Some times the game feels fixed.

Yep, the same thing just happened to me but I was at a far greater distance when my horse threw so I had time to get up on my feet, equip my sword and fight back...... except that my controller block button simply refused to work so I died.

I like the sword animation
It´s realistic. If he draws the sword to slowly try drawing it earlier.

Lmao, it is absolutely not realistic. I don't have a sword, but I can draw a firearm out of a holster, aim, and shoot center of target faster than Henry can have his sword at the ready. And I'm not even trained.

Lmao ur comparing a damn pistol to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sword. A pistol is no where near the length of 2-3 foot sword.

U will never draw a sword as quick as u can a pistol no matter how experienced one is in art of sword fighting.

I train in the art of the samurai sword drawing is pretty close to realistic in kcd2. Could be smoother none the less still pretty realistic
