It doesn’t even have to refer to a form of combat. The quick draw at high noon is just as much of a romanticized fantasy of combat that either didn’t happen and was far uglier in reality when it did. Here’s the thing, that very model does not preclude firearms. To be sure, there is honor in facing someone you have grievances with, laying them out, and owning up to the consequences. When two fighters engage each other at hand to hand range, there is an inherent risk to both combatants. Personal combat is more dramatic than a shootout and must therefore be more noble. This perception that hand-to-hand combat is somehow morally superior to close, mid, or long range combat is rooted in nothing more than shallow, surface level, perception. This isn’t even the argument against chemical weapons or flamethrowers because the nature of the damage done to the enemy isn’t in question, only the weapon's range from the target. One type of tool for ending human life being somehow acceptable versus another tool for ending human life being taboo. Often hypocritically espoused by the same people who would be quick to condemn ownership of firearms or use of remote weapons in strategic warfare. Yet the myth of the sword as a weapon of honor in of itself, persists. There is nothing more inherently honorable about stabbing or cutting someone with a blade than shooting them with a firearm. However, when regarding actual life and death combat. Is there a right way to approach problems and a wrong way? Absolutely. (Notably Jason Vandenberghe, For Honor’s creator got his inspiration for the game’s “art of battle” central mechanic from German Longsword classes.) I will be the first to endorse the lifestyle as one that promotes physical health and spiritual welfare.
Karate, Kung Fu, and German Longsword tradition. I have practiced the martial arts since I was twelve. Do you think a sword is a morally superior weapon to a gun? Apollyon’s mission is the gen-xer and millennial’s rage against the modern world made manifest. The exaltation of swordplay, the damning of consumerism. Such thoughts were echoed to me by countless YouTube comments and forum posts. It was upon playing through the campaign and hearing Apollyon’s voice, riddled with disdain when talking about anything outside of medieval warfare that I realized her rhetoric sounded uncomfortably familiar. In her words, “this will be an age of wolves.” Apollyon’s driving motivation is to create a world where warriors are not restrained by rules imposed upon them by people they could easily kill in combat. Arguably the campaign’s most important character is the warlord Apollyon, who’s actions drive the conflict that the player characters get swept up in as well as narrating the events of the story and bonus lore bits. Despite its brevity, it manages to pack in character arcs, grand set pieces, and thousands of years of history as optional lore sprinkled throughout the game’s levels.
