Attack with the cross guard of the weapon.

So in medieval times if a knight 1v1 happened, they would hold their swords by the blade and attack with the cross guard as that would do more damage to the armor.
I think this would be a nice feature that would stop the 15 minute full plate fights with swords.

A full set of plate armor weighs 20-25kg. And since the weight is distributed all over your body, you don't really feel it. (Unless you are a very weak specimen)
Now I agree that carrying 400kg worth of stuff is a taaad unrealistic, but the armor weight is accurate.

I know that armor is heavy, my suggestion wasn't about that, it was to reduce the amount of extra carry weight you get from strength

No. My point is that armor WASN'T heavy. Or at least not while you wear it (and there's a perk that does this in the game. It makes your armor weigh 1/3 while you wear it).
And I agree with you about the extra carry weight, realistically speaking.
But, this is a game. If the carry weight was realistic, it would be frustrating as hell.

Not sure how a fight lasts 15 minutes, but I agree that would be a cool feature.
Here is a video of me fighting the wayfarer knight with a low level shortsowrd so I could make it last longer:

Not all the time, there was half-swording as well. Besides the use of the hilt and guard as a bludgeon is what led to maces and warhammers becoming popular.
