Interesting. I've seen many people describe monastery as one of the game's highest points, where they reach peak immersion as they go through the monks' daily routine. It seems to be a really love it/hate it kind of thing.
Could be that 4690k is 4 core 4 thread cpu, where as 7700hq is 4 core 8 thread cpu.
It's an entertaining quest, but it sucks for a couple of reasons. For one, it has no good solution. Whatever you do, people will die and everyone will be pissed at you. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing in itself, but it's annoying since there's a valid non-lethal solution staring you in the face: knock out the attackers with your fists. Too bad that doesn't work, as the quest simply won't progress if the guys are alive. You can't make them flee either, or stall them in order to buy time for the women to escape. No, either the attackers die or the women die, end of story. It's also pretty funny how the game treats the attackers as some innocent "woodcutters" when they're armed with maces and are even labeled as bandits when you examine their lifeless corpses.
Well, personally I hope Cryengine stays, because it has a distinct look compared to unreal and I love how KCD looks and feels. Also that physicality of physically opening doors, picking objects, seeing my body, it's great. Now if only it had raytraced water reflection so those screenspace reflections wouldn't disappear when looking down.
Have you thought about building your own engine?
