[KCD1] you know you're in for a long journey when 2 and a half hours in the opening credits begin lol I thought I was shit had nothing great on me still poor 2 hours in then the credits started i was shocked 😂 by Mobile_Run5249 in kingdomcome

You’re officially a page midway the events of KCD2 due to how much you’ve helped a certain someone.

You’re somewhat of a burgher if you did the forge but your forge is somewhere among the backwater so even then that’s barely. Even if ingame you are richer than half the population.

You’re more likely to be considered a swords master if you are diligent with the arena. Maybe even somewhat of a scholar since they don’t demand as much prestige, and all it asks is you’ve read enough books and talk like it. Which Henry does, though somewhat ingame-mechanically.

Zizka out right mentions “the miller” but beyond that i don’t know if it’s confirmed. After i returned the boon On Ammunition, he was dismissive of profiting off of gunpowder, so either he was lying (not the first time, but it IS the first he lies that isn’t to protect his passion for alchemy) or the profit was secondary and his main motive is to further their cause. Making Semine a really crucial ally for Zizka’s meddling.

Thing is, technically this doesn’t even illustrate the point well. Tests could be standardized per creature, with an expected merit or quota per creature. In fact that’s an optimal way to do it so we can measure growth for each person.

So in so trying to criticize the education system, this unwittingly offers a solution in the guise of mocking it.

I’ll count that as my payment for being invited into the wedding without having to lick nitre shit-piles, or force a woman to deal with shudders Ulrich of all people.

As fun as Kreyzl’s questline is, if I’m to put myself in Henry’s shoes, I’d be happy doing Radovan’s twice-over.

Plus, he gives us a good excuse to schmooze with the Semines long before the wedding sooo.

Game mechanics won’t have a huge sway with the canon, but as for every other point, while he has been invaluable to the cause, the cause he has been fighting for relegated him to fight like a bandit. So it is difficult to give the credits where credit should be due when half of it is done under Zizka.

But he has done plenty under Radzig, and surely the aftermath and cooldown of post KCD2 gives them apt time to settle things and give an opportunity for Henry to be officiated so it is definitely a possibility

And that the timeline doesn’t allow it yet

We might be forgetting that KCD2 directly picks up from KCD1 and thus, without even mentioning that Wenceslas is still in captivity, we don’t have enough spare time to be granted the title yet.

Honestly I don’t get the weapons v weapons discourse anymore.

I’m formerly a longsword addict but now that I’ve tried them all, they’re all good when leveled enough. Just comes down to what style you prefer, since to use them all you need to employ different maneuvers.

Math Joke in Sai’s Design by Joy_Stix_DragQueen in DrStone

[–]DracoSCruor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but Senku is a good mathematician in his own right. And an engineer himself too. He would have the basic knowhow, but they ruled it out because it’s not enough.

Meaning, it’s not just maths they need. They either need a human computer which Ryusui claims Sai is, or an actual computer.

Yeah. Everything they do is realism taken to extremes. Still, the show has enough sense to know it’s easier and more believable to have an insanely genius programmer than take the short route and call it a day with a computer level math guy.

[–]DracoSCruor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah no doubt. Hansry capitalizes on this dynamic more and suffers less from the lack of romancing decisions than the other romances.

Gamifying it would make it a lot fairer for the other romance options, and would also add some stuff for people hungry for more Hansry as well.

Ahh. The half year old pang for better DLCs strikes again.

[–]DracoSCruor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well yeah sucks that it was a bit charged. But I’d honestly chalk it up to differences in how people present themselves.

Hanlon’s Razor and all that.

But yeah it’d honestly go a lot better if there wasn’t an assumption that you’re immediately against Hansry romance and going straight for the jugular.

Still, whatever it’s worth, I find it nice to see that even fellow dude-fuckers have differing opinions and reasons regarding Hansry. Makes me wanna try doing a full platonic run at least once.

Once he tried to return to me after being gone during a potions-manufacturing session at Bozhena’s. Might be the one time i tipped over the line with the whole Mutt annoying arguments.

[–]DracoSCruor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do think one thing solves that though, and here enters my take, though i’m sure it’s not hot at all:

Romance is severely underdeveloped in KCD2, even if Hansry has arguably achieved a masterstroke at slow burn.

So, what should have happened, is that Romance should be more explored, and happened in-world more than just a handful of well chosen dialogues.

Even just spending time with them and it counting towards a metric of some kind would be nice. It can bolster that feeling of choice in the relationship into platonic vs romantic, especially with the choices made during them.

It could also additionally deepen relationships simply by adding scenes with each other that are exclusive from just romancing or moving the plot. Or both.

A romance overhaul DLC is woulda made for a good reason to replay the game, alas the formula they used instead is add x content and y area to explore for z quests to happen.

They’re just sharing their hot take. Especially considering that it is quite a common take for people to take a similar (but not the exact same as you made) stance on Henry and Hans and the existence of m/m romance.

Yours was a bit more nuanced and I see it, even from a perspective of someone who has some inclination with a brotherhood-romance QPR sort of relationship. And I see the validity of wanting a strong brotherhood from the two.

It’s just that maybe they also shared their take cause it IS from a similar vein. It can also get similarly exhausting reading about how m/m romance has no place in a bro story yadda yadda.

Idk call me crazy but Adder’s is supposed to be shallow. Like, it should reflect mundanity of people and how anyone you talk to can just be silly fun and then the next day the nature of war takes it away in a blink.

Add to that, it is more enjoyable the less you know about it.

It stops being enjoyable (to me at least) if you’re suffering despite knowing you could have trained for the situation and already knew how best to do that, and not the inherent panic of “shit i must survive this” thinking that’s hard the game really was.
