      Same here, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a new game.

      Care to expand on “poor execution”? I really enjoyed it. There were a few times it could be a bit frustrating, but overall I felt it was very well done

          I guess you were expecting a very different game. I would challenge calling that “poor execution” though. I personally found the difficulty, the danger of combat, and the atmosphere to be the game’s biggest strengths. I was looking for a game that properly made you feel like a medieval peasant.

          Too many medieval RPGs are about fulfilling a power fantasy as some kind of badass, but I really liked that KC:D was more about the vibes of just being a relative nobody in a historically accurate medieval simulation.

            I remember vividly the moment I failed a quest because I made the npc wait for too long and thinking “this game is one of a kind”. It does take a while to get used to, but it certainly has its charm.

              Or getting a “quest failed” because you told an NPC “we’ll meet up later” instead of “we’ll travel there together”, and see his unarmed ass getting pounded into the ground by a group of bandits camping along the road. 😂

          That’s the whole point of the first game, you’re a scrub. Literally a peasant and that fighting isn’t like in Zelda where you’re a complete badass, nope just a scrub ass peasant who happens to have a sword. That’s why I think this game had such a divide. You either loved it or hated it.

            It’s a shame that the game systems are so polarizing because it legitimately has some of the best written characters I’ve seen in any game ever.

              Yea I will say I do wish they had more of an arcade thing for people who hated the controls, just so they could experience the story as it was so damn good.

              This person is a scrub because they had a few complaints about a game they said they liked? This shithole really is turning into another reddit.

              What? No, I meant in game. You’re character when you start is just a scrub. Hell even at the end game you’re still at best able to take on like 3 guys at once.

          I had the same issue at first, but once I learned that the game actually expects you to spend some time in the training ring with Bernard to both level up Henry’s fighting and build your own skills, it got a lot better. The game will let you do one round of training and move on, but you should do quite a few to level up, and you should revisit the training ring periodically as you level more to learn new techniques.

            the ring fighting also could be easily scripted, but i personally did not like the sword fighting much and always went for a bow. it also allows you for much easier divide and conquer approach during multiple-enemy encounters.

      There were a lot of soft lock in first versions of the game but if you played it later, it is very enjoyable. They fixed many bugs

        I played it last year and got soft locked in the main quest about 15 hours in, but only realized after another 10 hours of side quests. Usually I wouldn’t start over but in the game I gladly did.

      Yes, the story of the first game is kinda open-ended and this is a direct continuation.

    I gotta dig back into my first run. Was having a blast but hit distracted when shiny new games stole my attention. It’s been… years since I was jamming on this. Tried booting up the other day and I’m so lost hahaha.

    Nothing like coming back into an RPG after extended hiatus like “wait wtf was I doing?”
