Some of my favorite parts in the story was when those two knuckleheads got together, so sure, why not some more of that? Looking forward to second run, as not so good a christian as first time.

40% off on steam right now, sale ends in 38h. Best price since the game was released as far as I know.

I started to play as no lockpick and no stealing character, still looting criminals that attack me is a crime on stats seems a bug. I am using the bow despite ranged is for cowards but only against animals because they flee to fast

Have to say, Capon's character surprised me. At first, I wanted to stab him in the eyeballs, but in the end he turned out to be a bro.

He gifted me a bow, but for being a minor age apoiled brat he is a good guy from the start: when he feels offended by my "easy promotion" he just asks for challenges while my friends from skalika shoveled manure in group against the German's house.

Seems KCD2 pre-production is in full swing

Will the realistic approach also be applied to medieval sex?

Help Vavra win another pointless award nobody cares about.

Help Vavra win another pointless award nobody cares about.

It's an attempt at increasing awareness of the game which can in turn lead to increase in revenue. That's all it's about, really.

Warhorse and CD Projekt went insane and are selling KCD with two other games (that are supposedly very good) for 25 dollabills, which is bizzarely low.

Lol, I remember waiting for them to publish this all winter :D

Fuckers are slower than the government.

Half of the sales was probably due to anti-SJW grassroots fervor. There was a tremendous word-of-mouth hype after launch, I remember the biggest streamers and Youtubers saying stuff like "I've no idea what this game is but a lot of you are bombarding me with requests so we're gonna play it." That way it skyrocketed to all the "Most Watched" or "Featured" lists on Twitch, Youtube and elsewhere, hence a huge kick in the sales, hence leading spots on the bestseller list on Steam, hence even more sales.

Go woke, go broke. Go based, go....uh, rich. That's all I got.

Graphics sell. First person sells. LARPing sells.

Said this many times, nobody seems to believe it, not even the industry.

How is the state of the game in regards to bugs right now? I remember talk about some really nasty issues shortly after release.

Most were patched out long ago but in a game like this there's always something cropping up. This game was never really broken or unplayable, I played it for about 30 hours right after launch and it was a p. smooth sailing. There were some graphical glitches and clipping but nothing gamebreaking. The most annoying thing was the bad texture buffering (you came into a city and it took a few seconds for the building textures to pop up). I think that's long gone tho.

If you feel like playing I'd wait for the new DLC, it's supposed to come with a major 1.7 patch. Should be out within a few weeks.

You can also buy it right now from GOG for 21.59€ and save it for later, and buy the DLC when it releases.

Any decent combat mods out yet?

I'm on my first playthrough now and haven't encountered anything major. No CTD's or unfinishable quests, just some minor bugs and unpolished things like clothing clipping or AI walking against an obstacle.

It is possible to finish the game as an honest illiterate?

Spoiler

I need to interrogate the prisoner at merhojed but he is locked, if I choose to cure the village then nicodemus always says plague but the prisoner dies and looting his letter is a crime.

Oh yeah, that's a fantastic offer, plus Shadow Tactics is a GREAT game, especially if you loved Commandos back in the day.

All the typical bugs you generally see in "polished" sandbox games from big publishers that don't get their review scores lowered because of "bugs". I'd even say your average AssCreed is a clunkier game. Some badly placed checkpoints in game gave me way more annoyance than any bugs.

This. A few years ago Skyrim Remastered came out with some of the same bugs that were in the vanilla. One of the major ones broke my playthrough last year. You think anyone lowered the game's score because of that?

Witcher 3 was also buggy when it came out, I remember the forum bursting in seams with people demanding hotfixes RITE NAO because they couldn't play. I was one of them, I couldn't level up and it took them 2 weeks to fix it. Nobody remembers now because the press didn't pick on it at all. AssCreed Origins was buggy and it was mentioned in a few reviews but only as an amusing aside.

Ultimately I don't shit on any devs because of bugs. There's simply no way to smooth out all rough edges in a huge open-world RPG without "beta testing" it on millions of players first. Either we'll have them somewhat buggy at launch or we won't have them at all. And the fact game like KCD even came out is a small miracle, to forgive a few bugs is the absolute least I can do.

Being honest is impossible even with reading skill?

Spoiler

I can choke the prisoner when he is still alive. I am not more a looter but still a thief because the key is worth 0.1. Funny I never bought armor but just choked bandits and wasn't a crime.
I reloaded older save and cheated a little using the remedy for water poisoning that I am supposed to know only if I read. Everyone is happy and healed, the prisoner spoke and said he was very happy to give me the letter. But when I get the letter I am a dangerous criminal that stolen 1 item for the worth of 0.1 groeschen. There is no way to refuse the letter, even if the letter isn't mentioned in the dialogue Henry will take it and will be a crime.

A bug? Somebody solved this with zero crime rate?

I'd settle for justice being dispensed a little more evenly. It's infuriating to watch Kingdom Come get busted for a misdemeanour while Skyrim walks free, receiving leniency for the same sins because of who they are. Punish developers for bugs or don't, just don't selectively punish them based on what their future previews are worth.
