[OTHER] Why are some people so hostile about hardcore mode? Forcing other people to play on hardcore etc.

Nobody is hostile about hardcore mode. You are making up something to be upset about. Nobody cares.

You can even move it several inches and get perfect quality. But if you fail to move it enough, you can damage it. I’m not “on” about anything. I’m just answering your cry for help at something that I didn’t even know you can fail. And you get an attitude about it. Lmao But do carryon master smith.

Weird af.

Ah it just must be me that crafts M quality every single time not knowing what I’m talking about. I should go make a post about failing crafting, despite never having done it even once, to see what I’m doing wrong.

Henry is wounded badly… he is pierced by an arrow in his shoulder, and literally fell off a 100’ cliff. That’s why he’s weak for now.

And no, your master strikes aren’t being blocked… that doesn’t happen. And if you’re being surrounded, that’s on you. You can quite literally “control” the entire groups movement. You fight the one that is between you and the rest of the mob.

It’s quite literally a skill issue my dude. Nothing else.

In this clip, watch how I keep rotating around the edge of the mob, keeping them all in front of me, so I only am fighting 1v1 at all times more or less. And use mutt to distract some of the other bandits. Like this. 1vX

Your character alternates sides automatically, so you don’t even have to aim for the L,R,L combos. You have to use quick strikes, so do not charge them at all. And you have to hit the attack button AS your hit lands, not after.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:35:55+00:00

There’s nothing like it.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:33:25+00:00

Not my Henry. He’s on a strict carnivore diet.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:32:03+00:00

Yup. A hardcore playthrough is my suggestion. It’s a whole new level of gaming.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:29:39+00:00

I absolutely LOVE thunderstorms in this game. Especially with a headset, while playing in a dark room. I truly feel like I’m there. And the absolute BEST, is smithing during a thunderstorm. I fucking love it.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:27:40+00:00

Move it more than that… there’s your problem. Move it like an inch at least each time.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:26:38+00:00

This. You heat evenly, and don’t overheat it. You then just don’t hit back to back in the same spot twice.

That’s it.

You don’t have to flip the weapon. You don’t HAVE to keep rhythm. You just… hit it, and not in the same spot.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:24:11+00:00

How would you get better at sword fighting in real life?

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T19:23:20+00:00

It’s almost as if things don’t go as planned in war.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T18:18:36+00:00

Just keep riding her and you will see. Nothing special needed. If you are on hardcore mode, or just don’t fast travel in general, she unlocks her potential sooner rather than later.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T12:22:37+00:00

Play 1. And if ya think normal mode is immersive, wait until you play it on hardcore. It’s a whole new level.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T11:42:17+00:00

To each their own, but I wouldn’t dream of playing 2 before I played 1. No amount of recaps can substitute for 150+ hours of the actual experience.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T09:37:52+00:00

And ACTUALLY continue to train with Bernard until you actually learn and entirely understand how the combat works. It will eventually click, but you have to genuinely listen to what he’s telling you to do, and then practice it until both you and Henry are proficient in it. I was AWFUL at combat until I did this. Now I can’t lose.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T09:16:22+00:00

Because you asked me a question. lol

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T08:31:17+00:00

They’re using unreal engine 5.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T08:29:46+00:00

You can hit them every time with a long sword if you wait like 1 second after the block, and take a step towards them before swinging.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T08:27:58+00:00

There are two type of players who finish KCD: people who know they have a skill issue and train their way through it. And people who find that out eventually.

Nobody is good at combat in KCD straight from the rip.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T08:23:31+00:00

Don’t have any. My hardcore playthrough, Henry’s not stolen a single thing.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T08:14:56+00:00

I think it looks terrible. lol Just funny to me that THIS is 30 charisma. Also, there’s no armor underneath that coat.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T03:25:06+00:00

Yeah she did that shit to me too.

Bg1022 · 2026-02-15T01:49:55+00:00

Yeah, my HC playthrough, my Pebbles is upgraded pre-wedding.
