KCD has been reviewed by Medieval historians and their biggest beef was that wood planks were used a bit too often in commoners buildings. Other than that, it's very historically correct.

Yeah good luck affording wood back then, but some concessions need to be made as I personally wouldn't want to explore dirt homes. In kcd's defense, they did adress this in the codex

Asmons right. I remember when I first started playing the first game. Not only do you start the game not knowing how to read so all letters are jumbled, you don't know how to swing a sword either. The Controls are so unique in terms of combat that it has a hell of a learning curve. But once you get it down and you start perfect parrying with combos thrown in and no cross hair sniping guys with your bow to start out fights, all while looking like a badass knight. Try the game if you haven't. It will be tough at first but keep at it and you will be rewarded with dopamine.

He drove the ~2 hours to Sasau, took a guided tour, asked about the abbot's room, and was told there used to be a secret door connecting the abbot's room to the barracks that were destroyed in the 1600's. He drove home and sure enough there was the door in the barracks to the bedroom.

I love the first kingdom come 1 and beyond hyped for #2 I've been checking about every 5 months if there's any news so happy! some tips n tricks for #1: 1 play how you want - you can spec to be a dodging swashbuckler or a tanking behemoth even a thieving arrow shooter and some things they don't mention is such as disguising as a bandit or Cuman to blend in and get close ect. 2 be patient - when you start shooting arrows your arm swings a lot, when you first swing a weapon you're slow and sluggish ect. as you play you level up the skills allowing these things to be fluent as hell and by mid game or late you can clear a bandit camp no problem 3 USE THE TRAINING WITH THE CAPTAIN adds more skills to be better in combat as you continue on 4 some quests are time locked such as the bad bricks at the monastery and due to this have alternate endings 5 Alchemy - use it originally it was so integrated to save you had to buy or brew liquor, it has changed since then but still being able to drop potions or poison's in cooking pots to help or hinder others makes mass battles simpler 6 you armor does affect your sound and how soon others locate you lastly, Picking herbs helps build strength since you have to kneel and is an aoe affect I doubt many will read all this if you did thank you for your time and consideration hope you enjoy the game and see yall in the next one

I think KCD 1 was huge success and proved critics that you can have successful single player first person game and not everything has to be massive multiplayer third person shit like every other game. But it was mainly huge success in Europe and since it's basically Czech dev studio doing a game of Czech (Bohemian) history on its map and place, it makes sense it'll have big fanbase from Czechia and the countries around because you can more relate to it more than some guy from USA or other countries overseas. That doesn't mean they can't play it, the game is built for everyone, but the fact that you live in the same country where the story was made make it even more chilling. :D

The combat progression is really amazing in the first game. At first I was getting absolutely stomped with every encounter and I stopped playing, thinking this wasn't for me, I just wasn't good enough for this type of game, later I came back and decided to keep at it, I realized that you are supposed to get your ass handed to you, because you have no skills going up against hardened bandits and warriors, as you train more and more, your character gets stronger and you gain more skills that you can use in combat, then you can start taking on 1 enemy at a time, later 2 at a time and so on, eventually you can become a real bad ass mopping the floor with everyone.

I really struggled with the first one, got a couple of mods (saving without saviour schnapps & stopping head bobbing cos it made me sea sick)and that improved it a lot. Still struggled with the lock on to enemy thing for the entirety of the game but I got used to it. Felt strange to run away quite as much as I had to in the beginning, not something many games make you have to do - but it made sense, Henry ain't no super hero, he's just a lad thrust into something he has no prior experience of. Growing better with combat as time went on and towards the end being as good as any of the other people you are fighting alongside whilst still not being some sort of god like combat veteran made it feel much more real. Really enjoyed it overall, strong story, believable characters, excellent voice acting and the scenery was quite breath-taking. And I loved the story within a story in the monastery.

It's such a great game. I love the immersive sandbox aspects of it, where you can go out and do things like hunt deer to make money, but if you don't make it to a trader on time, the meat will go rotten. I also love that you can't do things like pickpocketing until you learn them from the Miller.

a lot of people had complaints on the fighting mechanics. but for me it was the best one i encountered with melee fighting, it felt like really learning swordplay from peasant just being able to hold it up to really being proficient. getting your skill up by actual practise. once you got the timing and rhythm it felt very natural. also best and mature story in it's genre. no magic, just late medieval life.

[@BoxCox]

I had the most cursed encounter in my gaming history in the first part. There was a bug with Hans Capon in early releases of the game when, before the bath quest, he would start following you around... Everywhere... It doesn't matter where you were on the map, he just started walking towards you and once he activated you literally couldn't escape him. The interesting thing about fast travel in this game is that it literally speeds up time around you. That means he gets faster too. When he catches you (it's only a matter of time), he will physically lock you out of fast travel by interactiong with you, he won't let you open your map, I kid you not, he won't let you open any in-game menu. Imagine my horror when I finally released that somewhere in the world there is an unhinged Hans Capon that is walking ON FOOT towards me and once he reaches me I WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO QUIT THE GAME THROUGH THE MENU, let alone play. It was quite spectacular. It also ruined 5 or something hours of playthrough (I had to sit in one place in every save and skip time to see if he was zeroed in on me).

[@austincriswell8480]

This is so hilarious man I'm sorry. Randomly walking Hans capon slowly hunting you down 24/7 can't stop laughing

[@Supahdenning]

At that point that's a mechanic. Reminds me of Trebor in Wizardry IV.

[@BoxCox]

@@austincriswell8480I guess listening to it is quite funny but when playing it introduces a meta horror element that horror games try to emulate intentionally. Here it's natural. You sit somewhere on the crossroads in the middle of nowhere and suddenly your map closes and a random ass npc just stays there and says "Hi, Henry". You try to ignore him and open the map but it closes. You consider it some bug and try to reload a save. The menu closes. You think something is really wrong and try to leave on your horse, after some time you try to open a map and is it being closed again. "Hi Henry" - This digital abomination says. He caught up to you. At this point you realize, it's him. He manipulates your context menus. You try to fast travel away from him but he uses YOUR FAST TRAVEL TO GET FASTER HIMSELF. HE WOULDN'T EVEN ALLOW YOU TO QUIT THE GAME WITHOUT ALT F4. The reason why I realized that the fast travel just speeds up time is because if you and Capon are on foot he wouldn't stop fast travel completely, he would glitch the screen so you could see a couple of frames of his diabolic ass running like a possessed until he catches you on a corner and rips you out of fast travel. This is peak meta horror, in my opinion.

[@BoxCox]

@@Supahdenning he is a literal portrayal of the invincible snail thought experiment with the difference that, when he catches you, he traps you inside the world by restricting your access to meta level of the game - menus.

I was amazed by that sequence lmao

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

Tip for playing: this is based off old-school rpgs like morrowind. So skills determine everything. Before you run out and try to take on even 1 bandit, train your skills with the guy who offers to train you. Getting a few early points makes all the difference. Also npcs are on thier own schedule. They will NOT wait for you. If you miss a deadline for a quest, you will fail or piss off the npc

I woke up for work 2 hours after this dropped yesterday and my brain fucking exploded. Literally had to pause at the beginning because I couldn't tell if Henry and Hans' actors were real or in-engine.

[@gerarderloper]

If anyone wants to try KCD1.. I'd recommend looking at some of the QoL mods, quality of life mods such as SOFT and easier targeting mods, and also even crosshair dot for archery. The mods don't ruin the experience but make it less frustrating and more fun, IMO. NOTE: Be aware some of the larger mods have not been updated too well and need quite a bit of kdiff script merging work/understanding to have playing nice with each other or even with the latest version of the game. Most the basic QoL mods however are pretty simple to use!

Which basically makes it part 1 and this KCD 2 is part 2 basically. Gonna be interesting how much more warring that they might do in this as Sigismund is still at large and you were chasing after one of his underlings that got away from you due to negotiations I due believe.

First games great but combat is difficult by design in such a way that to casual observer it's "bad combat" but in reality it's meant to elicit the idea that combat, even 1on1, is difficult- you were a peasant boy, not a trained soldier, and even after the training, you are inexperienced. When i saw Henry couldn't read and he had to go out his way to learn to read i knew this game was truly going a unique route. The games has issues and the sequel likely will too.But you can tell that to these devs, this is truly a passion project.

I'd love to watch Asmon play KCD1, but if ever there was a game to learn the mechanics pre-stream - it's KCD1.

It's a wonderful experience though, and combat always feels impactful.

@@anomitas obviously they’re different games and therefore difficult to compare, but I’d say combat in kingdom come and dark souls is a relatively similar level of difficulty to learn. Both are counterintuitive, at least when compared to other action rpg’s. Both are meticulous and deliberate, punishing input spam while rewarding skill, although the amount of weapon move-sets to memorize in dark souls makes it more difficult in my opinion. In kingdom come, you just need to memorize a handful of combos to beat most armored enemies. In dark souls, there are literally hundreds of different weapon combos, boss move-sets, and timings to learn.

2 notes for when you play, get a mod to get rid of savior schnapps (drink potion to save), and when you are starting off, you are playing the character, henry, a kid who has never fought, so no matter how good you are he sucks. The combat system can be pretty annoying getting used to, but a lot of the reason for that is henry is adjusting and learning as well, while it still tries to be realistic with the fact it is hard to take on a large group of enemies, even peasants with pitchforks.

[@oliconbob3179]

I'm glad Asmon is looking into giving the game a try, but it should be told that this game is hard to get into for a few different aspects. It's kind of a slow moving game that is very accurate in portraying your character growth through gameplay. The most obvious thing to note is the combat. It's pretty daunting at first, especially before you dedicate levels into your fighting abilities. There are other mechanics in the game that are similar to this but in a less extreme way. What I'm saying is that you need to be patient if you want to play this game. I would argue that it's well worth it however, and will be very rich experience if you keep an open mind and give it a try.
