When I began playing KCD, I adhered to this saving mechanic, but it wasn't long until I experienced a crash resulting in an hour of progress lost,

Is anything happening at WarHorse, after all? I dont see any leaks or news about their next game/ KCD2, just ports and new editions.

Any new details?

I've been something like the "gender commissars" at my job the past couple years since no one wanted to do it and I was the one who didn't run fast enough.. apparently law required us to have at least one, similar like you need a person that checks fire hazards and smoke detectors. It was crappy because I had to do it side by side with my regular tasks and no extra benefits. Luckily it wasn't that much, mainly they'd pass the company memos and bulletins by me if I had any problems with how inclusive the wording was (I never had any), and when "equality concerning" problems came up I'd go around and quiz the other girls how they felt about it. I was met with either indifference, annoyance, or rejection. You know, these typical made-up problems.. Any cases of real ACTUAL sexual harassment (where a case actually existed) didn't go through me at all anyway..
So in conclusion.. I have no damn clue who's pushing for this from higher up, but it definitely isn't (normal) women as a whole. I do know however that I'll never accept this chore of a task ever again.

--

Kingdom Come is a great game btw and I loved the refreshing authenticity.. Is it even considered "fantasy", or would you call it something else like "medieval sim"?
Also the Cuman representation in the game was top notch!

Maybe I'll finish it one day.... All I could do well in combat was parry, once the enemies picked that skill up as well, all the fights became staring contests.. Which I lost, because unlike my enemy, I didn't have a friend with a bow and arrows on the other side of the creek.

They're disabled in Hardcore mode, for what it's worth, not that I would recommend it for a first-time player.

Few years ago our ministry created several jobs for what we informally call "gender commissars," usually one or two per section...

They made some noice about how "gender is always relevant" and left. Afterwards they asked to see all the issues of the newsletter that my unit prepares about current events in Brussels to carry out "gender analysis." We handed over several hundreds of documents and never heard back again...
. There was no follow up, nor any actions taken. I guess those people just collect wages while doing fuck all from nine to five. If they were hired "specifically to implement diversity initiatives" they are an abject failure.

Now in the civil service we have all kinds of "codexes" and "statements" that contain all kinds of shit about "woke" stuff and such. I am sure that if someone would look at those documents alone, he would think that the Czech Republic is Canada style cuck dystopia.

I mean...
You have your gender commissars collecting salaries to do no real work. Hey buddy, guess what, that's a huge win for them. They made you waste your time on meaningless documents that you assume will never come back to haunt you. You have all your various codexes and statements about adhering to woke stuff, but you assume that stuff will never really matter.

You're already there man. The super wokes have you doing their bidding and your government is paying them for it. Wokeness doesn't take over because a lot of people believe in it, it takes over because one by one people like you go along to get along.

The woke people enforcing this shit also do and say things that would get other people cancelled, that's part of it! You think half these pronoun listing BLM flag flying people aren't ultra racist/sexist/homophobic? They're just the current bullies, it's not about "equality" or "equity" or whatever, it's about power and control. Maybe one day they'll decide you are in their way and that comment about "pink fonts" will be used against you.

Being cancelled is for the people who refuse to fall in line, and it has nothing to do with actual bigotry.

It seems that some of these Eastern European situations are a few years behind the West. When I was doing a lot of secretarial temping as a side-job in the mid-Noughties in London (usually PA to partners in law firms, that type of thing) is when I first noticed the gender/equality stuff creeping into HR, the setting up of pointless meetings, the circulation of pointless memos, etc.

And at that time, it was indeed, as with the current Eastern European situation that people are describing here, something that people quietly eyerolled about but just grit their teeth and did. When it first came in, nobody took it that seriously, and people were just being polite about it.

I think the situation is very different now in the West (to the point that you can lose your job by not complying, or by having some Antifa guy dox you on account of your Twitter history or whatever), and it will no doubt get that way in Eastern Europe too in a few years.

You must resist now, even though it may seem unimportant and not very intrusive at the moment. If you don't resist, it's going to get a lot worse.

seeing eastern euros say "it's not in our countries!" is fucking adorable
ask cdprojekt employees how that's going

It's equally cute to see foreigners describing the society in your home country.

I don't know what's going on at CD Projekt, the only game of theirs I played was the first Witcher and I don't follow them, but if your point is that woke companies can exist here, then I don't disagree. Similarly I can hardly refute the "just wait 10 years" argument - I hope it doesn't happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

What I'm protesting against is morons implying that in the present we're pretty much just as woke as the west in general. We're not and it's not even close and everyone who says otherwise has no fucking idea what they're talking about.

That's the thing. The west isn't that woke either. But the woke commisars have control in HR departments and in government. The average american who bothers to even know about this woke shit thinks its ridiculous. But people think politics is something that will never affect them, until they get fired for accidentally making an ok sign in the vicinity of a woke dumbass. Because the HR department, a haven for useless rules loving assholes, believes in that shit.
Then, all it takes is the average person to say "Well that won't affect me, all this diversity stuff really just means don't be a huge racist" to let them keep slithering into more positions of power.

I agree with your argument in general, but I have two issues with it.

First one is that my experience with travelling and talking with expats from or our immigrants into western countries shows that the differences in wokeness are rather stark, both in the amount of people who actually buy into it (I assume largely due to the differences in how higher education works - in here unless you study sociology and related pseudosciences chances are you won't encounter woke shit at all, so the indoctrination is less efficient) and in the amount of people who were cucked into it so much that it affects how they think and speak outside of work, in their private lives, with their friends in a bar etc. Self-censorship was on a completely different level. In particular apart from the US I'm talking mostly about Canada, Australia (which seems like a slightly different type of fucked but just as fucked), UK (less so) and Germany (also slightly different and dependent on region, but quite different from us).

Second problem is that "it just means don't be a huge racist" is something that a person might say at the beginning of an impending woke apocalypse, but it's also a thing that a person might say if "don't be a huge racist" really was all there is. It serves as a good warning, but you can't use it to describe the situation here unless you're actually in it.

Any new details?

Everything worth knowing for has been and will be posted in this thread as soon as it gets out in the open.

[Jrpgfan]

Will we ever have KCD2?

And no, I'm not reading the 1 million pages I've missed so far.

 

[Jenkem]

prague is pozzed as fuck, simple as.

No, we will never have Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.

We will have however Kingdom Come II: Something (my bet is Retribution).

According to Smejki development is progressing well. Would be nice if it was revealed on gamescom but I think it's probably still too early for that.

 

[Corbin Dallas Multipass]

Kangdumb cum 2: We wuz kangs edition

You play as Henry, and you have to find a genetically superior moor to fuck your wife for you. Features realistic cuckold simulation.

 

[Multidirectional]

Hey easy on the spoilers guys, please.

 

[SlamDunk]

Just an announcement with the title of the game would be nice. Well, for us fanatics, at least.

 

[The Wall]

Kingdom Come 2 has been for 3 years in production, at least. That used to be production cycle between Morrowind and Oblivion or GTA: Vice City and San Andreas. Now we should consider ourselves "lucky" if in 10 years time we get 10sec teaser trailer (like with Skyrim - Elder Scrolls 6)

Gaming industry is in so many ways so fucked up in 2022.

 

[Paul_cz]

Work from home during covid slowed things down significantly, at least according to Warhorse's CEO Martin Frýdlantský. Even if there was no WFH though, 3 years is not that much, most big RPGs take around 4-5.

[rusty_shackleford]

takes longer to prototype an idea now than it did to make the entirety of Baldur's Gate 2 start to finish, yet people will still cover for gamedevs

 

[cvv]

This thing's gonna be announced next year winter the earliest, summer most likely. Mark my words.

Mark them!

 

[The Wall]

Nope. 12th of August. This year. Highly likely

EDIT: Source

WTF happend to Codex? This place used to have top tier insider info about favourite Devs (Roguey would litteraly know what Josh Sawyer ate for breakfast), superb help and advice to aspiring and promising indie devs (Monomyth would get dozens of QA testers, free marketing and game design advice, Kickstarter funding campaign on Codex etc had it existed in 2015 but now? nothing) and regular back and forth with Devs who'd post here. The fact that major annual conference of WarHorse parent company, which was btw announced back in April, is an unknown to Codex speaks volumes of how much this forum has degraded. Also all the justification for game cycles which are now (LITERALLY, I REPEAT LITERRALY) measured in decades (Elder Scrolls 6, Deus Ex, GTA 6, Fallout 5...) and justified by some bullshit excuses which would've been called out bullshit and wouldn't even ironically used on Old Codex...I dunno. Codex used to be pro-active place, now itz so passive. Probably major reasons are most of you grew old (now grandpas in your old 30s) and Jewish sedation, which should never be underestimated

THQ Nordic is managing something in the range of 300 unique IPs through dozens(over a hundred?) acquired companies. Most likely, KCD2 won't be at that showcase.

 

[The Wall]

Deus Vult, it'll be officially announced on 12th of August. We will see. . .
