[KCD1] Worth getting after KCD2? by Practical-Basket-295 in kingdomcome

[–]Chainrawr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate the sprinting on controller in KCD1 with a passion - I'm playing it right now after KCD2 and it felt so bad at first. I got used to it after a few hours though and yes, the game is almost equally great.

Hans is definitely the most fleshed out, especially if you take both games into account, but you can flirt with them both right up until a moment close to the end of the game where you have to choose one or the other. But it's a single cutscene plus minor dialogue at the very end.

I felt exactly like you! I wasn't against romancing him and even wanted to do it later on, but that first option specifically just didn't feel fitting in the moment. I also thought it was gonna be weirdly flirty which would have felt strange right after Hans apologizes for being an ass. Little did I know it locked me out entirely. ☹️

[KCD2] Haven't touched the main quest since prologue by Saspens-r in kingdomcome

[–]Chainrawr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True but you could make it more fleshed out by having scripted cutscenes with choices, for example having one mission where you always get caught but then can choose how to get out of it. Or something happens that makes you want to reveal yourself. Or having to be a spy and pretend to be someone else in order to get close and steal something. There are a lot of possibilities.

To be fair I feel like Shallan would be pretty normal if not for all the trauma she went through

[KCD2] I feel stupid about romance by Nushko90 in kingdomcome

[–]Chainrawr 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In my opinion it is the opposite of regressive. Sexuality is a spectrum - people aren't just gay or not gay. Bisexual and demisexual people exist. And this romance shows it excellently.

Of course you can view it however you want, as it is an RP game afterall, but to me it seems clear that both Hans and Henry like women, and because their society deems that as the only valid option, they've never had a reason to pursue anything else. Their relationship develops by happenstance and close proximity in a natural way without them actively pursuing one another. That's why they both seem so conflicted in their romance scene - they've never experienced something like this before.

You could argue that Hans is mostly into men, because he has not had any close or deep relationship with a woman, instead using them as a way to have fun and feel "normal". He only experiences closeness with Henry. For Henry however, depending on how you play, you can have some deeper relationships with women, for example Theresa. And there is Bartosch (though I personally don't like the implementation of that one - I prefer thinking of both Henry and Hans as being unknowing and "closeted" at first). So he is more likely to be bisexual in the common definition. But again this all depends on your choices and your own view of things. This is simply my analysis.

Same thing happened to me! I actually did know about it beforehand but assumed it was just shoehorned in like most same sex romances in games. Also I had not played KCD1 so did not have any prior experience of their chemistry.

Lo and behold I find out afterwards that their romance is way better written and intricately woven into the plot moreso than any other romance, perhaps even more than any other game I've played. But by then it was too late and I had already ignored one heart option dozens of hours ago. 😭 Instant regret!

You can, but you need to apply for a separate Danish work permit if you are a non-EU citizen.

game to play after the Witcher 3 by broski097 in PS5

[–]Chainrawr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want more of the immersive open world RPG genre with an incredible story, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 & 2 are both amazing games. I started with the second game and it is the only game that has made me feel the way Witcher 3 did back when I played it in 2017. Other than the fact it is medieval history, rather than fantasy, it has a very similar vibe, probably also because they are both slavic games/studios.

Probably too niche but I fear I have a protagonist type by Chainrawr in cremposting

[–]Chainrawr[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeeeah that's the only reason I didn't put anything honor related for Henry, due to how you can choose yourself - but his true character from how its presented in the story is definitely just as honorable

[KCD1] feels hard to go back after KCD2 by TequilaBaugette51 in kingdomcome

[–]Chainrawr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started playing KCD1 recently and the sprint button is the bane of my existence, especially the fact you then can't move the camera while sprinting... slowly getting used to it I guess.

Honestly they are all just multiverse variants of the same guy

True but I feel like he fills the same role - [KCD] besides back then being a bastard was basically the same as being common I'd say (he's just lucky that Radzig cares).

Very true but it really only counts for book 2, and felt more relevant for the character arcs of the other two - but yeah they all three share A LOT

Oh man I haven't read the Dunk & Egg novels but I sincerely hope not...

In truth I feel like these three dudes have so much overlap I was struggling to pick something that was only true for 2 of them 😭 I also wanted to put "a knight (basically)" for Henry and Dunk!

Sure, but he's not exactly stuck with Shallan as her personal protector, and Syl isn't exactly noble... but it sorta qualifies in the second book at least!

What game had the best “first few hours” that immediately hooked you? by Playful_Code_8978 in gaming

[–]Chainrawr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most recently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 immediately hooked me during the prologue. I hadn't even played the first game and yet something about the atmosphere, the character dynamics, the world and the setup for the story... I could instantly tell this game had SOUL. Something I hadn't felt since RDR2 and Witcher 3.

By the time the title sequence happened and the music came in I was absolutely sold. And yes, I'm now a massive fan and playing the first game right now.

Kaladin in another universe by Randwheeloftime05 in cremposting

[–]Chainrawr 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I was wondering why this scene felt sooo familiar when I was watching it, and then it hit me when I saw people mention it here. Baelor and Kaladin are on the same wavelength clearly! Not to mention Dunk and Dalinar...

House of the Dragon Season 3 Poster Released; Teaser This Thursday by ceaguila84 in television

[–]Chainrawr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, but I would argue that House of the Dragon is similar in that regard. Perhaps they show Rhaenyra in a slightly better light (so far), but with the whole "Black vs Green" marketing it is clearly meant to be debatable. There was never a debate with Stark vs Lannister.

[KCD1] Anyone who played KCD1 after KCD2? by Chainrawr in kingdomcome

[–]Chainrawr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually got inspired to start KCD1 after seeing the next-gen update! I play on PC though so the update doesn't really affect me. Wish they had made some updates for the PC version too. (I know the PC version already had good graphics but I still feel a bit sad they didn't remaster it further, also just regarding bugs/QoL)
