A question about the souls series...
Why is it the player character is so bad at handling any weapon besides a rapier?
You don't lay a two-handed sword on your shoulder.
You telegraph your strikes.
You turn your back towards your enemy.
Good thing they're undead because if any enemy had sense, they'd just stab you in the face as soon as you reeled back to take a swing with a long sword.
At least they character holds a two handed sword properly in Skyrim..
Edit: To all those stating its fiction/ a video game, I couldn't tell. I thought that this shit was a historically accurate retelling of the development on mankind. It never occurred to me I was being overly pessimistic for the sake of being overly pessimistic.

It's a video game first and foremost and one set in a fantasy world. It can't get too realistic or is loses its charm. As for combat your enemies don't care about telegraphing your moves. The telegraphing is for other players so they know when to dodge or counter. If it was realistic really good players would devastate others in pvp. As for holding the great sword on your shoulder, that was a method of carrying a sword without a sheath for extended marches back in medieval times or crusading times. The swords are very heavy to carry outright. Most times they would let a wagon transport it but if the caravan was attacked the knight would be without weapon so shoulder carrying became a way to prevent that situation.
