Well, the base game without DLC's was free on EGS.

Yea, but playing a base game, several years and DLC packs later for free is kind of a wasted time investment.
Publishers know this, which is why, for example, Civilization VI will often go on sale at like $5, but if you're seriously considering getting into it you'll want to get all the extra factions, expansions etc, which "conveniently" are not discounted as highly percentage wise in the same sale, and you end up spending $45 anyway instead of the $5. Scummy publisher trickery.
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I did go back and play Womens Lot but i never tried Band of Bastards. There was also one with Capon but why they'd have a DLC featuring the games most annoying character, im not sure.
When it was revealed in April, publisher Plaion said Warhorse Studios’ action RPG sequel would be released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
However, on Wednesday it emerged that retailers including Best Buy and Walmart had updated their product listings with a February 11, 2025 release date (the former has now changed its listing again to state that a release date has not been announced).
Instead of going for a swim, the sound of some lassies singing inspires Hans to perv on them while they're washing. Thus begins a stealth section where two men in their underwear try to sneak up on a group of young women out in the woods. It feels more 1980s than 1400s. Before we can complete our pervy quest, though, some soldiers arrive and start cutting down peasants. One of them tries to sexually assault a woman, but is interrupted by Henry yelling.
The life of a woman in the 1400s was pretty terrible, but it's strange how much this 3-4 hour demo presents its female characters as either objects of desire or victims. I'm detailing this one scene specifically because it does both, for the purposes of comedy and shock, but it keeps happening. Older or less overtly attractive women, meanwhile, are presented as sharp-tongued or crone-like. It's not dissecting the role of women in medieval Europe, it's reinforcing stereotypes. The first game did feature some interesting, complex female characters, and hopefully the same will be true here, but how the demo presents them certainly gives me pause.
same garbage combat system. It wont stop me from playing, but i did hope they got rid of it
While far from being perfect at least it is not action-button-smasher...
And it is not an easy task to come with perfect solution that works in first person view..
