I find it hilarious that Henry has only level 1 in strength and maintenance at the game start, despite being a blacksmith's apprentice. He's such a fuck up he couldn't even learn one thing from helping his dad.

[@juleswoodbury58]

Yet he's a fully grown adult. Most peeps start their apprenticeship at 12 and are fully fletched artisans at the age of 15.

[@msmichellewinchester]

I actually thought it was cool that he can use the grindstone and sharpen weapons himself right from the start, while he can't really do anything with the clothes outside of very minor fixes at first. I took it as a nod to him learning at least some stuff from his dad. But the level 1 strength...yeah, that's pretty funny 😂

[@Joe-my6go]

Well, the “Henry age thing” is kind of a doozy. Technically it was confirmed to be 27, but at the same time, people in the game constantly regard him as a child/teenager and he is the same age as Hans Capon, who is a teenager that is unable to actually rule because he’s too young

[@98cents]

@@incurableromantic4006 Reminds me of a scene from Boardwalk Empire when Meyer Lansky is telling the story about how he met Charlie Luchiano. As a kid, Charlie and his friends would rob him of his lunch money and beat him up, but Meyer would never stand down and give up without a fight. After a few times of that happening, Charlie invited him to join his gang. May or may not be based on a true story, though. As for the game, I don't really remember. It's mostly the sentiment that matters. Two unlikely friends is a better story than rivals, imo.

I like how brutal KCD is towards the player at times. Me and a friend of mine was discussing our playthroughs and instead of typical "yeah, i sided with X faction, kicked the Y faction's ass and got the bittersweet ending" we were talking about how we fucked things up in many different ways because our Henry wasn't really that competent or the quest was secretly on a timer.

"Putting everyone into a bottleneck until all KDC players are just the exact same humans." You just described nearly every game in existence. People play KDC because it has what they are looking for. No one is forcing anyone to play it. The solution is as simple as everyone looking for media that suits them rather than trying to make things change to suit them.

It has a lot of good stuff but unfortunately it is just insulting as a game. Not every gamer is 15 years old with boatloads of free time, and the game's only true issue (i.e. isn't tied to actually learning its complex mechanics) is the saving system. It is fucking awful to lose hours of progress in what still is a glitchy, janky jewel made with genuine care and love. On PC you can get around it but on console you are fucked and the 30 FPS blurry image won't help either. Massive shame as this game deserved better accessibility and if you have kids or a full-time job don't even think about buying this game and completing it in less than a year.

One of my problems with From the Ashes was that it's so expensive to properly complete the village (church and everything) that by the time it's finished, you've clearly found a way to make enough money to never have to be bothered about the income the village gives you. I only ever really used Pribyslavitz as a sort of 'home base' where I could return to after a mission. Even that was a little inconvenient though, because it's so far to the edge of the map, and the path there isn't exactly the most obvious, I wish expanding the roads was one of the things you could have built. Plus, I'd very much have liked to customise the rathaus a little, since I'm using it as a home base, it would be nice to really make it 'home'. Maybe they could have had a catalogue of sorts with Marius, and after a few days, your furniture or whatever would arrive. Idk, I'd have liked a little more customisation.

@@PeopleRTheProblem How far into the game did you make it? Specifically, how much of the combat skills to did you level up. That determines how responsively Henry is able to use his weapons.

@@MrLathor not far at all. I think I got to the second keep after his father was killed. If it weren’t for the limited saves and the nonsense intro you have to sit through each time you start the game I may have been more accepting of the terrible combat and lifeless world. The first time I gave up was when I was exploring and got stuck in bushes. Restarted….sat through the into….then realized how much I’d have to replay to get back to where I was. So I left it then and there. Years later I was going through my library…saw this game and thought I’d give it another shot…….then that f-(&ing intro started playing…..uninstalled the game right there. If you enjoy the game I’m not trying to take that from you….but this game sucks. I like the idea of a more grounded/realistic approach with no magic or fantasy elements. But why on earth would you have such an unforgiving save system on top of an unforgiving and clunky combat system?

[@MrLathor]

@@PeopleRTheProblem This is absolutely a game that requires the player to be patient and make wise decisions to get the most out of it. You have to play the game with an understanding and acceptance of Henry’s current abilities. Also, I genuinely am not sure what you mean by “intro”. Are you talking about the Skalitz prologue? I do not recall at having to wait through anything to get into the game.

[@PeopleRTheProblem]

@@MrLathor yes the prologue. I can’t remember exactly how long it was but having to sit through it every time I started the game got old quick. I understand the the point was to progress from rookie to veteran. But for me it just got boring quick. The consumable saves meant I’d lose so much progress if I unexpectedly died. Progress that was pretty boring. Maybe the inclusion of fantasy elements would’ve been enough of a distraction for me.

[@plaguepandemic5651]

The combat is honestly next level and is easily my favorite part of the game. The key is to slow down and treat it like a real swordfight and not a button-masher. I always see people cheese it by walking backwards and spamming thrusts but getting into a proper longsword duel honestly just feels amazing. I also appreciate the realism. Sure, if you're a well-trained knight in full plate armor and you're fighting some peasant thug, you might get away without a scratch, but any time you fight another experienced swordsman, you're going to take a few hits, and it can truly be a gamble with your life. And fighting a 5v1 ends exactly the way it should end unless you train for days and become a legitimate badass.

[@kamonic6571]

Can confirm If you start From the Ashes as soon as the bandits are kicked out it's a good reason to explore some of the smaller towns to get the supplies you need, it puts a bit more of a time crunch on getting the place up and running if you don't have endless wealth because it costs money at the beginning, and once it is running, it's a good way to produce that endless supply of wealth as you move to the mid game and actually need money some times for new gear, repairs, a new horse maybe (sorry pebbles), and buying gifts for Theresa after you ride all the way back down to Rattay. My first Henry spends his days before going with Hans Capon riding between Pribislavitz, Skalitz, and Rattay killing Cumans and bandits and collecting gear to sell in Rattay cause he's a vigilante (read: Murder Hobo).

[@oldadajbych8123]

After clearing one of a thiefs camps I found a horse with much better statistics than Pebbles. I even could sit on it (not steeling it) and I ran to the Talamberk stapels. But I could not find a way how to keep it. Thus, I am keeping Pebbles. I am not spending money on a horse.

You should be basically mega-rich by the time you hit that questline. Unless you arent loading your horse full of the expensive stuff and selling it off after battles. Money in this game is a bit too easy. If you kill all the cumans leaving Skalitz youll net about 10k groschen from their gear. Ive seen people push it much harder though and leave skalitz with 50-100k. The main quest seems rushed but this game really does reward exploration and trying different things. Ive also never bought gear. All the best gear if found came from looting. Other than swords its rare to see the truly high end stuff in shops. Killing everyone durring the Pribislavitz scouting mission is another huge money making opportunity. Not very hard to pull off either. Pick off a couple at a time from horse back until theyre thin enough to just murder all of them. Haul the gear back before finishing the quest so the bodies dont disappear. You probably wont be able to fit it all in one go.

The game doesn't really get particularly exciting, but the combat goes from "near impossible" to "braindead easy" if you just learn the masterstrike. The issue is you have to do the main story up to a certain point and talk to the trainer guy AGAIN after you already talked to him a first time in order to learn it. It's very stupid game design. But once you do, suddenly no enemy can even touch you and only large groupfights are potential threats anymore. You instantly go from clueless peasant to master warrior

The villages/castle/woods feel so natural because theyc are modeled almost as replicas of the real world based on historical maps, documents and todays world. You can come to 2024 Skalitz (Skalice) and surrounding area in Bohemia (latin for Čechy, now part of the Czech republic) and see that it looks almost identical, just 600 years apart. Obviously some buildings are in ruins, most have been rebuild/renovated in newer styles such as renaissance, baroque, etc and castles were rebuild into chateaus over the years. Some buildings are still (in part) identical to this day. Mostly churches, but bell towers and foundations of former castle complexes turned chateaus are still the same most of the time. The landscape is still the same though. Ive read that people who played this game and came to visit the sights were able to navigate themselves there.

it will be worth it!

[@__________.....]

not really a spoiler but the story doesn't actually have an ending, because the true ending will be in the sequel, Kingdom come: retribution

[@cardo8335]

better name is kingdom come: vengeance@@__________.....

[@Syaniiti]

Kingdom Come: Climax?

I hated it at first, but I was also doing everything wrong. Second playthrough was much more satisfying. I'm on my third now and honestly the only part I still hate is the monastery, although I was able to level up vitality twice by just jumping around all over the place 😆

[@arandomcrusader6707]

That damn monastery....

[@Svoorhout85]

At the start I pick every single herb in Skalitz before the raid to level herbology and get that vitality bonus for picking lots of nettles.

[@NerdWytch]

@@pavelcerny9803 Yeah, figuring it out didn't help though, it was still pretty tedious lol. My first time through, I got fed up and just k*lled Pious and left lol. This time through, I took the opportunity to level up alchemy enough to get the autobrew perk, leveled up vitality and stealth and lockpicking, and managed to get Pious out alive. So I had a better time with it than the first time, but it's still tedious as heck. I feel like every game has that one area that is just a pain in the ass to get through (the Fade in Dragon Age Origins comes to mind), and the monastery is that for KCD imo 😆

[@bdleo300]

I absolutely love 99% of this game and absolutely hate 1% of this game. So overall, one of the best games I've ever played.

[@Mrmr-ly3kz]

Yes the combat system is unforgiving. But that's what I love about the game. Unlike other games where you play a hero with special abilities that allow you to fight off 10s if not 100s of enemies at once, in KCD every 1on1 fight can be deadly, not to mention fighting 2 or more enemies at the same time.

[@greenapple559]

This game is so amazing and there is nothing like it. You could truly get lost in the world then even go further to take a vacation and visit the actual real life locations! KCD 2 will be an instant buy !

[@SuperPomaranczowy]

I did that this year. In the Sasau monastery they even have game screenshots to show what the interiors used to look like!

[@FrozenShadow007]

Having accidentally started Theresa’s questline while trying to romance her, I was extremely confused but 10 minutes later, having realized what I talked myself into, I was excited to spend the rest of the night playing as Theresa. It was a great experience that ended in slight frustration that it couldn’t be longer.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

I've tried to complete this game twice getting several dozen hours in each time but ultimately falling off. I feel like I need the motivation of a sequel's release date to really make me go back. This game still has my award for most realistic looking woods/forest in any game if you can max it out on PC it's just nuts.

[@priestfan81]

Maybe you just don't like the game. You shouldn't need motivation to play a game. It's supposed to be fun.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@@priestfan81 It's an interesting thing about games and gamers. Many will say about games like Starfield that you won't know for sure if you like it until dozens of hours in yet others will say if a game can't grab you and make you like it in the early hours that's it's fault not yours. The problem with KCD is about half the stuff in the game I'm a big fan of and half the stuff I'm not. So there is a ton of stuff I do love about the game it's just equally true that there's a ton of stuff that keeps me away.

[@simoncarr8070]

At 26:38 please tell me that's asking super secret armour set that I'm not aware of and not just a mod that I can't access on playstation.... Please

[@tristans5466]

KCD is undoubtedly one of the greatest games ever made. It is a mind-blowing achievement by Daniel Vavra and his team, bringing to life in an accessible manner some fascinating aspects of medieval life. I played it briefly at launch and boy was it janky, but even then it was incredibly charming. After a few patches, it came together really quite quickly to become as polished as you'd want it to be (you've gotta have some fun bugs here and there). I'm currently on my 3rd playthrough (1st on PC, after a 2- or 3-year hiatus), and it's just everything I could want in a game. Diablo 4 can wait (indefinitely); Starfield can wait; I'm gonna finish this again first. And I can't wait to see what Warhorse brings us next.

[@filipehamburgo5296]

On the first time playing on PC I rage quit the game on the Monastery segment. It was pitch-dark at night, when most of the action had to be undertaken; violence only made everything worse; and my hard-earned skill levels melted away as I did monastery jail time for doing things I didn't even know were wrong. On my second playthrough, however, it turned out to be one of my favorite parts of KCD. Such brilliance in having the rug pulled from under your feet just when you start to feel you can bulldoze your way through all the Cumans and scale-amored bandits medieval hell could throw at you. Truly a humbling experience both for Henry and for me, and a magnificent way to force players not to create unidimensional characters and really enjoy all the game has to offer.

[@RTED__ERROR]

I randomly bought this game and played it 3 months later, This was the most fun i had in a while for that, and was sad that i reached the end.

[@n3dc0n]

What’s the chest plate at 26:53 looks sick and the shield as well

[@Michael-dl2cf]

easily one of the best, most immersive games I have ever played.

[@radekdickinson5772]

Thank you for motivating me to finally play this one. I have it with Czech audio and subtitles (I'm Czech myself, born and raised not far from the game's location actually) - I think it'll be a lot of fun

[@Pirates.27]

Akorát to české audio je takové divné, jako by to nahrávali někde v jeskyni. 😂 Některé postavy skoro ani není slyšet.

[@2muchtime579]

One of the all time greatest games. Been waiting years for a sequel

[@fourwheelerjock]

Anyone here after kingdom come deliverence 2 was announced?

[@Daniel_Schmaniel]

I'd really love to see a fantasy themed RPG designed in a similar manner to Kingdom Come Deliverance. One more "realistic" so to speak. Medieval theming is fine, but I always love a little sprinkling of magic.

[@Crippinbarbie]

No magic….thats wut elder scrolls is for

[@philipmelaas317]

I think they mean they wanna play something *good*.@@Crippinbarbie

[@novicedruid8303]

​@Crippinbarbie Elder Scrolls does not have realistic melee, archery, economy and architecture though. I think they mean in the sense of still being accurate to a medieval tech setting while having magical elements. Perhaps a game that does that but based on only irl folklore, lore or legend and not on pop culture fantasy combined with medieval realism akin to something like Witcher with first person realistic medieval melee and ranged combat + economy like KCD.

[@baddragonite]

The thing about a woman's lot was you can access Theresa's mini campaign right at the beginning after waking up in the mill, and I think it was meant to be a sorta nostalgic look back at skalitz for players who beat the game, but for a newer player like me it was essentially like playing the opening just to then play another version of the same opening That said it wasn't bad but I did find myself at times trying to rush through it

[@貝蒂-c5s]

me too. But I couldn't stand it so I loaded when Henry woke up.

[@zviratko]

I found the mine section so be extremely frustrating and a bit janky, but also very claustrophobic. If you've ever been to a medieval mine, you'll appreciate the atmosphere, it's spot on.

[@rake667]

I started it as soon as I finished the prologue too but I still loved it. I was sad when I got back to being Henry. And while I get how it's nice to know all the characters from Skalitz if you play as Theresa at the end of the game, I thought it was also nice to recognize people from Skalitz as Henry when you meet them in the main story. I also got super excited about seeing the Charlatan and reading the Groom and Scholar book. I got excited about getting some perks that Theresa had but base Henry doesn't (like Stealth Kill)... I really don't get what people are complaining about

[@貝蒂-c5s]

You make a point here. As for me, I feel bad because I was excited for the following story about henry and I misclicked to start dlc.@@rake667

[@jon2153]

Full hard-core was an amazingly imersive experience. Simply LEARNING the roads, the forests, land marks, short cuts and npcs that always great you out front of that one house on that one road. That plus the need to eat snacks and take naps. I truly was Henry

[@Avengerie]

This. I couldn’t get into the Witcher because your potions miraculously replenished after you slept. Here you had to make them manually (they added a quick-brew option because the usual crown had a tantrum). Finding treasures felt like a real-life challenge, and stumbling upon a band/cannibal camp sent fear through your body.

[@mypud4068]

​@Avengerie I mean the Witcher also had goblins and other fantasy races, while this intentionally goes for realism, you cant even compare them as games. They are alike in being rpgs only, vastly different ones and visions

[@Avengerie]

@@mypud4068 you might be right, but I actually liked the variety of fantasy enemies in the Witcher. They all felt interesting and different. I didn’t mind the “magic” elements in KCD either, because you can explain the potions with placebo effect. But automatic replenishment just took me out of the game every time. It felt like I had less control over my inventory. And it is such an odd decision gameplay-wise. You gather plants, you unlock potions, and when unlocked, you can get them anytime just by sleeping. It’s a weird mix between magic spells and herblore.

[@morrisalanisette9067]

How do you figure out where NPCs are ? I mean for a mission . Or how to know where anything is
