Honor?

[Woldren]

Does killing enemies from behind changes something in terms of story? The game tries to make you feel bad for not facing 20 enemies using the front gate. "HA, YOU COWARD, do seppuku right now!"
Those shortcuts when you kill someone from behind are just part of the story or something like "black wolf / deer" of red dead redemptions 2?

I don't think so, but I can't tell for sure. The game have forced stealth kills for the reason in this case I would say. Plus the internal conflict between what he see as honorable and what not is crucial part of the plot.

Story no, but it has an impact on the ingame weather.

If you do unhonorable things like stealth kills you will notice that it rains more often then it does when you fight with honor.

When you clear the weather with your flute, how long does that last before it goes back to being crappy weather again?

As others said, it changes the weather. Though you can change weather with the flute.

Just play how you want. Technically, playing honorable would also mean no looting of corpses and houses, no using of kunais, bombs etc. Only 1v1 fights...

This is the one thing I hate about the game. In real life real samurai didnt give 2 sh*ts about how someone died. On of the greatest Samurai who ever lived Hanzo Hattorinwas was also a shinobi. Ita was just an extra skill set.

The only thing cared about was winning by amy means nessicary. Its nice atoey drama, but its completelty false. Thier honor system was more about how you conduct yourself OUTSIDE of combat.

I see your Witcher 3 skills have taught you well.

Ironically, we can't forget how an assassin using a bow, Ishikawa, is apparently "honorable" despite being a literal assassin and not an infantry bowman as he rages at the MC but then seconds later talks about how he and his protegee are both elite ranged assassins who hide in the mountains and lock down spots to disable towns. Or the Kongol guy flipping out about honor after he threw whine mid speech on someone and lit them on fire. Ugh, the logic in this game's writing is painful sometimes.

I doubt the weather thing is real, I rarely even do stealth and I still get a lot of stormy weather.
It's just what act 2 does. It seems to love thunder.
