Can you play like a proper highwayman?
Like using a sabre in one hand and a pistol in the other?

Also is the game still really buggy or have they fixed most of the bugs?

nope pistols use 2 hands.

All guns I believe are 2-handed, even the pistols. There is weapon switch though.

Most of the big bugs seemed to have been fixed with the patch, and some minor ones which popped up since then were hotfixed.

That makes me incredibly sad... it also doesn't make any rational sense. You can't even use a shield and a pistol?

you have to use both hands to reload.... I wanted to use double pistol hero =[

the guns in this game are really like muskets which take two hands to reload even the pistal when these weapons were used it was common to have many pistols an your belt and weald the sword for melee close combat and just drope the guns when fired some pistols(irl) even had many barrals.

I haven't seen any bugs but I have the latest patch.

You can't duel-wield them at the same time but you can hold a sabre in one slot and a pistol in the other and switch them in battle.

Well that's something I suppose. What would be the best class to run on that?

Eder

Depends, you could go for a 'sword master' approach. Using a single handed weapon with no shield gives a bonus to accuracy/chance to crit. Take either a saber or a rapier. So you need a class that likes crits, naturally I suggest a rogue. Use their sneak attack to get a ranged shot off then switch to melee when needed. Relying on deflection instead of armor.

Or just use Eder. Fire the pistol to start combat, switch to saber for the rest. Gets to have high deflection AND armor. Reason Eder fits is because he has the Ruffian weapon focus. Pistols and Sabres are his play things.

Only way that happens is if you got him at level 2. Pick him up after hitting 3 and he'll have Weapon focus Ruffian and the Defender modal.

Guess I did :P

Huh it's sort of hard to get him at level 2, and I'm pretty sure weapon focus is an even level talent, meaning he has it even if you do get him at level 2.
