The shit flinging quest is stupid. Your old man blows up at you in exactly the same way even if you refuse to get involved. They shouldn't have offered the option to refuse if there was no actual difference in the consequence (unless it comes back to haunt you like 40 hours later).
What an awesome game, extremely well crafted. The combat was frustrating in the beginning, but it brought me back to my Gothic 2 days when I git gud. This entire game gives me Gothic 2 vibes, which is high praise. Quests have some very nice twists and turns.
Runs like utter shit though, performance cripples in settlements and with bigger fights. It looks pretty good, but not that good.
I remember - about combat - getting my ass kicked in the tournament, no matter how much I was trying to cheese or spam abilities. BUT... after quitting it, leveling up a bit my lacking (mace, 1h sword) skills and getting some training... man... the satisfaction of winning that damn (previously annoying) tournament was... absolute.
The game truly is like an alien entity in the current gaming world, it's as if its spirit was cryogenically preserved and kept safe from modern corrosive green pears, one-button viruses and purple hair-fueled tripeA narrative structures. A beautifully flawed anomaly which feels like a genuine miracle rather than a trinket from Sasau's charlatan. Henry be praised.
This is the new Humble Monthly early unlock so maybe they will do a sale on all the DLCs in a month once the full bundle is revealed like they normally do with the Season passes of other bundled games. I am glad to finally get the game cheap but will probably wait till I also own all the DLCs before I really give it a go since I have a lot in my backlog already so I can wait a bit longer to have the complete game.
Many hours later and this game is so addictive! I'm having so much fun.
It's one of the best games this gen and the best new IP along with Horizon Zero Dawn.
Also the music is soooo good, and i like that the music plays non stop.
Still having hard time with combat and hard locks, going to keep practicing till i'm good.

I was really looking forward to visit / explore that monastery but - like in no other place in the game - had severe framerate drops while inside. That ruined hard my motivation to pursuit the quests in that area...
Whoever thought the Sassau monastry mission would be fun in any way, should go fuck himself
Yep. That almost made me quit playing my first time through. Absolutely awful quest/area. So goddamned monotonous.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

It almost halved my fps. I just did the MQ and left ASAP.
While I still love the game, the gameworld isn't good enough to support it IMO. You're basically running back and forth between samey villages. I understand, it's trying to be realistic and you can't have weird city design, but it's also a bit boring now traversing the world. After getting used to them the mechanics and ideas are great, but the gameworld itself is very bland.
I actually enjoyed the realistic the depiction of the world for the most part. It's a breath of fresh air to have a historically accurate game world instead of dragons and werewolves. The monastery quest line was intentionally done this way to show the player how real life monks felt at the time and it almost made me quit the game.
Generally I didn't like much of the second act of the game. What I didn't enjoy the most is some of the gameplay mechanics and the shitty performance. Not to mention the ton of bugs that took a year to fix. I think it was a great first attempt with limited budget, I expect KCD2 to be an improvement on every level.
But they'll have to stick with their current build of Cry Engine given the amount of work they have put into their production pipeline, so I wouldn't expect magical improvements in performance in KCD2.
Some publications and websites accused the developers of "whitewashing" for not portraying people of color in the game
you want black people in 15 century Europe?
Quote:
European media responded to some aspects of the criticism. A commentator at the Czech newspaper Lidové noviny called the accusations "out of place" and claimed that most Europeans would respond that there were very few, if any, black people in early 15th-century central Bohemia.
I just started this game and am losing the first fight against that drunk idiot.
I know, I need to git gud but it also seems to me that movement is kind of awkard. If I need to have Q pressed to block and want to move left pushing A, I let go of Q. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or I just need to assign dfferent keys. Or worse, play with a controller. Is that what this game wants me to do? Play with a controller?

You should not be pushing Q all the time (or do you at that stage? I don't remember). You should block when a hit comes in. Easiest way is to assign block to mouse thumb key if you have one. This game is relentlessy showing you suck in the beginning, that's why it's so satisfying to take down your first opponent after some proper training. You'll get your ass kicked and run away regularly in the beginning.
