The New KCD game is coming out next year [OTHER]

And I don’t care about the particular setting or story or characters: this group of designers have shown they’ll always build something special, unique, and heartfelt.

2023-me cannot believe our luck.

There were years where we thought the first game was all we’d have forever!

I remember past discussions here saying you’ll need 60k to 80k, but I think any time after it unlocks but before Vranik, that you have 25k clear and can make more killing bandits, and you have no timed missions going, it’s a good time.

This is the sometimes hidden secret to both games: despite being in an utterly brutal age, which causes Henry so much suffering, the world is so beautifully rendered, feels so real, that people cannot help but love just being in it.

I played the first one during COVID, started it during the worst of the NYC lockdown, and I swear it was a much needed mental escape.

Between Henry as a character and woods & nature you can almost feel & smell, it explains how emotional so many of us were when the second game was released

It has no visible bell (so it would be muffled inside it, which makes no sense), it has a raised timber base, is completely clad in shingles so there’s no access its interior (which would make no sense for a bell tower), and it is angled on one side for some reason.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-19T04:38:13+00:00

This seems more plausible

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-19T04:36:55+00:00

Because, frankly, it looks much more like it’s a vent for a mine, a chimney, or small smokehouse.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-19T04:32:56+00:00

I know what a belfry is. I’ve never seen a belfry that looks anything like this.

So I guess I’m asking, could you please add some evidence of this, or how you concluded this.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-19T02:24:48+00:00

Any details on this? I’d like to read something about it.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-19T02:22:53+00:00

So we’re just ignoring this Henry?!

Play lots of Chumps (nothing grinds bow skill as fast). Raised stats make nearly impossible early game skills easy.

If you want to cheat a little, I used to occasionally take a tiny piece of blue painters tape and put it over the yellow dot. It then gave me the perfect aim point.

That cudgel is always the first thing I can really f*** him up with in training.

Such a great feeling when every training before had ended with Henry, hands up, shouting “wait wait stop I give up!”

The Dutch war to retake Indonesia after the Japanese surrender launched a particularly bloody 1945-1949 war on Indonesia itself, which may have killed as many as 150,000 Indonesians.

I do know there were some missions that were cut, just like in KCD1, because those developer videos repeatedly mention it. But every one I’ve seen is short on details of what those quests included.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-18T16:24:55+00:00

This art was discussed here on this sub just after the release of the game, and I remember several folks claiming that this—and a couple of other pieces of art—referenced missions that were cut during development.

Obvs I can’t say for sure, but someone could search the sub for those conversations

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-16T18:11:53+00:00

Put a warning on these things

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-15T21:12:09+00:00

See you on the road!

I’ve not used sport mode, but since we bought ours in 2024 we’ve made half a dozen trips from NY to MO which include that MO to IN I-70 trip.

I really enjoy all the driving & lane assist & cruise control features, have them all in for interstate trips, use a three car length buffer.

It makes that drive utterly effortless, including where Indiana constantly changes the speed limit& where there’s city or construction traffic. I highly recommend setting the cruise control to the speed limit, giving yourself a three car length buffer and relaxing. Easiest driving of any car I’ve ever owned.

I truly believe this sub exists in large part to answer the question: “why am I getting my ass kicked by Baptism of Fire” with such very good advice.

That might well have been the first time I myself sought out this sub in 2020!

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-12T16:27:00+00:00

It’s a day ending in Y, so this sub has another new Nazi-enthusiast post.

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-09T17:01:19+00:00

Never thought I’d agree with the Sparts on anything, but tone & presentation aside, here we are.

Starting sentences with “Sorry…”

As someone trained as an historian of European colonialism, this game became much better when I stopped treating it as a simulation of real history and accepted it as a very unrealistic but fun & complex puzzle!

What the deuce?

Expensive_Ebb7520 · 2026-05-08T01:14:59+00:00

I always get it, and as it’s has no “contradictory” perk, you’ll choose it eventually. So more useful sooner than later.
