* The Black Prior is the only shield using hero who can move while in all-guard stance, and the only one whose all-guard stance does not have the superior block property. Its possible that Apollyon's influence and philosophy, that only a "sheep" waits to be slaughtered, directly effected their fighting style. Rather than staying stationary and waiting for their opponent to come to them, Black Priors stay mobile and counter ''as'' their opponent strikes, rather than waiting until after. They refuse to relinquish control and allow their opponent to dictate the flow of the fight, even while on guard, and are always looking for the chance to strike back like a wolf.

* If Orochi are so famed for their UndyingLoyalty, why is it that Seijuro would be willing to take the dead emperor's throne for himself? Simple, with the Emperor dead the only person he has to be loyal to is himself. Considering that the other contenders for the throne are (with the exception of Ayu) no better than him, Seijuro has no reason not to try and take it for himself.

* In single player, the Orochi expresses concern over how the two years they spent in prison could have affected their fighting skills. This justifies how they, the Emperor's Champion and the best swordsman in the entire Dawn Empire, are able to make mistakes and lose to ordinary opponents while being controlled by the player.
** This also explains Seijuro's ability to [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard switch guard stance faster than the player can react]] during his boss fight. Not only is Seijuro one of the best warriors in the empire, but his opponent is severely out of practice, limiting their ability to read and predict his moves, making some of his attack impossible for them(and by extension the player) to react to.

* Holden, aka Gryphon, stopped using his lawbringer armor because it would have been extremely difficult for him to maintain it as a wandering mercenary. Not only would he not have reliable access to a blacksmith who could repair it, the cost of repairs and replacement parts would no doubt be very steep as well. The art of forging the lawbringer's armor is also a secret of their order as well, so he might not have been able to hire a regular blacksmith to repair it at all.
** As for his poleaxe, the lawbringer's fighting style revolves around blocking their enemies strikes and counter attacking. However, this is only practical because they are wearing a suit of full plate mail, and would be quite risky other wise. As a result, Holden had to switch to a different weapon and fighting style.

* For Honor takes place more or less in the Modern Day, maybe a little in the future. That's assuming the cataclysm happened in the middle ages, which is evidenced by the shared existence of Samurai, Vikings and Knights at the time. And then 1,000 years of on and off warfare occurred between the three factions. M. With that in mind, all the technological advancements in Ashfeld make more sense than none at all. After all, look what we achieved in 1,000 years. It's entirely possible that there are other surviving civilizations in this world that are much more advanced because they didn't spend a full millennia doing nothing but fighting.

* The Shinobi and Hitokiri are the only two Samurai classes without access to the longbow feat. This could be explained by their background and origins. The Shinobi is an assassin who would have little need to use such a weapon, or find it unhelpful for their skillset, at least in pitched battle. The Hitokiri meanwhile is an executioner who, while skilled with their masakari, would probably lack the training to use one.

* Contracts can cause players to play a bit sub-optimally, especially when they have specific conditions like "execute 4 enemies while playing Tribute." In particular, there's the Attacker contract, which requires you to capture X number of zones in Dominion, which actually encourages players to capture zones and then immediately abandon them so that the enemy can take them and thus letting the player recapture them. However, in a way, this makes sense historically: many real-life battles were decided by commanders and officers each having their own agenda that didn't necessarily line up with that of their lord or ruler, which would drive them to fight in a way that benefited them at the expense of the overall plan. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sekigahara The Battle of Sekigahara]] was quite famous for how much of it was predicated on the flimsy loyalties of the commanders of different parts of the armies.
