Didn't think Henry was the main problem, but yes he goes from peasant to
. Honestly NPC weren't any great, I liked Hans Capon, Theresa could have been a good plot device but you barely get to know her, all other characters are just plain boring people with no depth, no quirks or flawed personality trait, just "the old knight", "the bailiff" and so on. Only npc that struck out was maybe the drunken priest, because you get to know him well, and a bit the engineer in the late game.
I still think this game can be worthwhile a play, but only if you wish for an immersive game, the combat is clunky, the plot is very basic and overall the game can get a bit tedious at some point. I do think that you can tell an interesting "realistic" story and make some very good quest out of it, and they did some of them very well, like the monastery one, the camp sneaky scouting before the attack and the plague one.
the "king's" son just like that and even without him acknowledging it, that was a poor handled plot twist

I didn't want to be the "chosen one", I just don't get why Herny is a "chad". Seems pretty much what the internet slang would call a "normie". Nothing special, kinda boring dude, a bit soft even. Ok of course late game he slaughters everything with a move of the hand but that's a different issue
Henry's story would make a very interesting movie. Only this is a game, and the player is both director and audience. A boy who survives a disaster by sheer luck, rises up, learns the ways of the world he lives in, and by the journey's end will probably be wiser and grown up. Doesn't this catch your interest?
And the way he kept drawing the short straw really reminded me of Vito Scaletta. Ever since the tutorial mission and that going around that tank...Henry is kinda the chosen one though. Chosen to do all dangerous tasks alone
The only mod a lot of people seem to need is unlimited quick saves. As for me, it destroys the tension and special ambience but whatever floats your boat. I also downloaded mods to completely remove the HUD because muh immersion.

my problem with the game was the '' late game ''
going from peasant to terminator kinda killed it for me. it s like AoD really, did i like the setting of the late game? yea, but i loved teron so much more.
i'm just a sucker for '' low level '' rpg's settings and it s so rare to find one.

I still got killed by bands of yokels in the late game. Despite slaying hordes of heavily armored bandits, these peasants were still able to overwhelm me. I think it's partly because I underestimate them, and partly because they use long range melee weapons which allows the whole group to hit me while I'm being locked in combat with one. Reminded me of the stunlock enemies in gothic 3.

Along with unlimited saving I also used this. Made combat lock on less annoying. If you are already using user.cfg then you'll want to copy paste the lines inside of this one.
Complete list of user.cfg commands I used (you wanna add " +exec user.cfg" to launch options for it to work) :
r_antialiasingmode = 3
r_AntialiasingTAAPattern = 2
r_sharpening = 0
r_rainAmount = 2
r_ssdo = 2
r_silhouettePOM = 0
wh_cs_playermaxopponentdistancetolock = 8
wh_cs_playermaxopponentdistancetounlock = 8
wh_cs_playerunlocktimeout = 0
wh_cs_playerverticalunlockdelay = 0
wh_cs_playerhorizontalunlockdelay = 0
wh_cs_playerlockopponentanglebias = 2
wh_cs_playermaxopponentangletolock = 0.8
wh_cs_playermaxopponentangletounlock = 0.8
wh_cs_playerinputcombatunlockdelay = 0
wh_cs_playerinputcursorunlockdistance = 0.05
wh_cs_playerinputlockingtolerance = 20
wh_cs_playerinputlockareawidth = 0.6
wh_cs_playerinputmouseunlockxthreshold = 60
wh_cs_playerinputmouseunlockmintime = 0
wh_cs_playerinputmouseunlockreturntime = 1.5
wh_cs_playerinputmouseunlockminoppangle = 20

No mods is the best. That's how I finished the game. Besides, mods can cause additional bugs.
Exactly. The experience suffers a lot from quicksave-scumming.
Honestly, the state of modding KCD at the moment is such that even the most sweeping mods available are little more than number modifiers, and often they are broken when a new patch is released. Blood and Iron is a pretty decent overhaul with an assortment of changes to rebalance the game, as well as some quality of life improvements from mods like Blade Master, which renames all of the swords such that their quality is now based on the quality (average, fine, good, etc.) and the material (iron, steel, damascus steel), so that the differences are now obvious. Other things like the Unlimited Saving mod are a must-have, IMO, due to some frustrating quests and bugs that appear far more frequently in the later parts of the game. I never thought I'd need unlimited saving, but then I did the monastery quest and wanted to claw my eyes out after he novelty wore off.
Unfortunately, many mods (like those which affect perks) are incompatible with one another, and the scene has seemingly slowed to a crawl due to waning interest in the game.

I played with the game's default save system until a bug caused the loss of an hour of my time, at which point I downloaded an unlimited saves mod and never looked back. Although I appreciate the attempt at eliminating save-scumming, this specific type of game is simply unsuited for such a limited save system as it's bound to have not only a considerable number of bugs on release but also a number of permanent oddities that necessitate being able to reload from a recent save.
That was the case from the get go. I think the day 1 patch was 25 gigs. Apparently it's due to how Cryengine is structured. Can't just replace bits and pieces, gotta scrap and reassemble huge chunks.
From how Vavra describes it Cryengine from a developer perspective is like a hot woman - stunning and beautiful but excruciating to live with.
Simply levelling up will have a drastic effect on your ability to hit, as well as to land combos. The combat feels very clunky in the early game and doesn't really take off until you've done a bit of adventuring. Practice with Bernard, have him teach you how to riposte (I didn't realise this was a thing in my first playthrough) and it will all eventually start coming together. Having said that, learn to take advantage of stabbing - it's one of the few ways to land hits on enemies that you probably shouldn't be fighting early on, even if it doesn't do much to those that are heavily armored. Attack angle and feinting are often less important than simply overwhelming the enemy and draining his stamina.

That's because it basically is. High level enemies will just constantly perfect block your attacks, meaning it will be absolutely pointless to try attacking them first and anything you learn early to mid game will be worthless.
You can basically ignore half the shit you learned in combat training. Feinting? Useless, it doesn't actually do anything. Combos? Don't bother, they take 3+ hits to execute and your enemy will either die or block one attack before it's fully completed.
Here is your guide to combat:
Step 1: Go walk up against your target in combat and force them in a clinch (that animation where you cross swords and the other guy then hits you back, the game never actually tells you that it is possible to win these)
Step 2: Spam M1, M2 or space as fast as possible.
Step 3: Once you won the clinch, hit your target as many times as your stamina allows because they are stunlocked for a good while.
Step 4: If the enemy did not die, walk back until your stamina is fully regenerated and then try again from Step 1.

Sounds like shitty combat.
