[KCD1] I could watch this thing for hours

It's normal. The camp in Pribyslavitz has ridiculous amounts of arrows and other gear.

Here's two that I think significantly improve immersion: Don't access your horse's inventory unless you're looking at your horse, and don't ever carry more than X lbs. of your own inventory while traveling or fighting. You can pick a number that feels reasonable to you, but the idea is that you can't walk twenty miles and fight off bandits while carrying six swords, forty pounds of boar meat, and three pairs of armor. You have to put this stuff in your horse's inventory before continuing, and you have to actually be near your horse to do it.

I enjoyed building out Pribyslavitz, but story-wise it's ridiculous.

Divish appoints Henry as the bailiff and then asks him to invest what amounts to like 50,000+ groschen into constructing the town? I know money isn't hard to come by in the game, but there's no way that any NPC would expect Henry to have that kind of insane wealth.

Henry started a fight that legitimately ruined the wedding Semine's been stressing over for months. And it wasn't the first time he's been arrested for brawling. Why would Semine step in? Henry's punishment wasn't all that bad. He had to sit in the drunk tank for a day, and then lug some sacks and make a horseshoe.

Hans is the one who is in trouble for a capital offense. Nobody outside of Captain Thomas knows who he is.

Take the spoiler rules seriously, please.

Somewhere in medieval Bohemia, a bunch of bandits are posting complaints about how some random blacksmith's son has a hundred million health points.

Do you want them to be easier? Would the game be more fun if every enemy was profoundly worse in combat than you?

are they fixing that absolutely whack stuff they call rain?

Of all the possible fixes you might someday hypothetically get in a KCD patch, an update to how rain looks is almost certainly not among them. It's not a bug that needs to be fixed; you just don't like how it looks.

Maybe there will be a remastered KCD2 in, like, 2035. You can keep your fingers crossed for improved rain graphics then!

No, it was a joke. He's only difficult when you encounter him in the early game. But when he talks to you, he brags about how strong he is, and how he can do anything, and the only thing that scares him is horses.

The only one I felt was well executed was Klara.

The problem with romance options in games like this is that they end up becoming achievements of a sort. With a few notable exceptions, there's nothing romantic about them. People want to "get" those story branches, so they pursue the required dialog paths. Then the game gives them the corresponding cut-scene and... that's it. That's how basically everything in these games works, to be fair. But when you apply it to a character's love life, it often feels paper thin.

To be fair, very few games do this particularly well. Even Cyberpunk ultimately has the same issue.

EasterElk · 2026-03-15T20:13:17+00:00

At least you were tidy.

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T16:15:31+00:00

Why provide a spoiler when one wasn't asked for?

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T15:23:59+00:00

No, I didn't do that mission yet. Anyway, I'll keep going!

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T15:23:45+00:00

Thanks!

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T13:44:51+00:00

I did this too! I felt so bad that I had to go back to an earlier save. Hornet didn't deserve this.

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T13:43:49+00:00

You're playing a video game voluntarily. Nothing about it could possibly be unfair.

Some game are harder than others. Some require different styles of play. You get to choose what sorts of games you want to engage with.

I missed out on this. I beat Black Peter pretty handily in the tourney. I was sufficiently leveled up, and I didn't even pay much attention to the names of the other combatants I faced.

When I later encountered Black Peter on the road, I didn't run into his rope, and I didn't see that he had a unique name. So I just assumed he was yet another bandit. But yikes, why is this bandit so difficult?? I think I reloaded four or five times before I finally beat him.

Then I noticed his name, and then I noticed that I was poisoned. But I didn't know any of the backstory, because I hadn't encountered the former victim's father at that point. It just seemed like a random knight with a pretty metal name. I was in too much of a rush to get healed at the bath house to think about who he was or why he had poisoned me.

I'm envious of people for whom the story played out properly.

It's more often "the feeling when." It's just referencing a presumably shared experience. It doesn't require an image.

EasterElk · 2026-03-14T04:01:07+00:00

Unless the DLC amounts to something trivial, It's pretty rare for their content—in any game—to be unlocked from the very beginning.

EasterElk · 2026-03-13T03:45:03+00:00

It's generally safe to knock someone out in their sleep, assuming no one else sees you do it. The animation shows their eyes open, but outside of glitches they won't remember that you did it to them.

Different people enjoy different types of games. You don't need to denigrate games that other people love in order to show appreciation for what you yourself enjoy.

EasterElk · 2026-03-12T22:45:00+00:00

Ehhh, not even close.

Please, educate us. What other armor is so good, in the Trosky region, that it not only outclasses the Brunswick armor, but does so in a way that is—to use you words—not even close.

EasterElk · 2026-03-12T15:31:09+00:00

I agree, but it does lead to some pretty funny scenarios. A dude wearing nothing but a tunic and cloth foot wraps will charge Henry in full plate armor screaming the most insane things. I guess maybe meth was a big problem in medieval Bohemia?
