KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Dan Vavra's medieval chad simulator

[Alienman]

You monastery haters are weird as fuck. I enjoyed my time there, did all the sidequests there, it felt like game withing a game and incredibly impressive quest all around, even if not perfect.

The monastery stressed me out. I got flashbacks from being a new guy at a job I used to have - when they give you a 5-minute lesson on some machine you have no idea how it works, and then expect you to handle it - under time pressure.

Monastery is very cool, one of the most unique quests I've ever seen in any game.

Standing in place and praying for 10 mins real time while the sun is slowly going up and illuminating the pictures of the saints to the sound of chanting monks vs "collect 20 rat tails", what is better and why.

Why are you making me choose between 2 awful things?? I want a choice between some cool, fun options in the game

Finally got some swanky brigandine and ye olde maille pantaloons, and now everybody calls me "knight" and is happy that I deigned to talk down to them.

Monastery quest is pretty boring because you switch from doing cool knightly things to medieval monk things, without any of the associated cool stuff you would have in a movie/book (like say throwing off your robe and fighting). But the rest of the game is great.

The tedium/monotony is the point.

The quest's point is to bring you closer to God.
Bohemian monk simulator for a while there.

Yes. The quest is wasted on unwashed rubes like Porky.

I just assumed that if I went around the monastery shouting "HEY HAVE YOU SEEN ANY BANDITS? I AM LOOKING FOR A BANDIT HIDING IN THIS MONASTERY. I HEARD THERE IS A BANDIT AMONG THE MONKS HERE, DO YOU KNOW WHO IT IS?" the guy would try to get rid of me somehow, and it worked.

Sames, just wish the culprit wouldn't have been that obvious

I loved it in theory, but the implementation was way too annoying. The game warned you of trespassing if you went to your work place five minutes earlier (when you already didn't need to be anywhere else), you had one specific place you had to sit at when eating, but the game never tells you this or shows you the place and just tells you to sit anywhere where there's food on the table, which doesn't work, that one was also idiotic. There were also some bugs with how your items are taken away and returned. And the fps sucked in places. It felt unfinished, and since some elements of it were a bit annoying by design (which on its own is not wrong), it multiplied the technical annoyances.

If I recall correctly you can jump off the scaffolding around the church and invade the place through the roof with your full kit, making the quest 1000x better

Or you can lockpick one of the Very Hard doors, which by this point should be a cakewalk.

It's still worth to do the quest properly, just to snort the medieval monastery life vibes, which is the whole point.

Cvv buddy, I promise you that I really tried the monastery quest the first time through and I understand that they wanted it to be just as boring as a real church and they totally succeeded at that. But now that time of my life is over and I solve all of my problems with violence

We are working on something, but what it is, is still a secret. Video games take a very long time to develop.

Could that be interpreted as "We are still a long way off from revealing our next game."?

We are working on something, but what it is, is still a secret. Video games take a very long time to develop.

Videogames seem to take a long time to develop in Current Year, because so many developers have become clueless and incompetent. Granted, an Open World RPG has a justification for taking longer in development than the typical game, especially if operating on a new game engine, but even so it's been almost six years since Kingdom Come: Deliverance released, and Warhorse should be readying the sequel for release by now. Instead, there has been absolutely no news released concerning the game's development, which, combined with this latest quasi-announcement, perhaps suggests the attempted sequel entered development hell and has been abandoned in favor of a different game.

It's pretty enjoyable if you do it "properly", but only during the first playthrough. After that, it gets kinda stale because there's no mystery (you already know who the right guy is) and the busywork you get assigned feels like actual busywork, unlike during the first playthrough when the novelty factor keeps it interesting.

 

[Harthwain]

Videogames seem to take a long time to develop in Current Year, because so many developers have become clueless and incompetent.

You also have to take into account how huge big open world games are these days. They probably need to do everything by hand (all quests, interactions, etc.), and try to maintain the historical accuracy of the setting while at it.

which, combined with this latest quasi-announcement, perhaps suggests the attempted sequel entered development hell and has been abandoned in favor of a different game.

It could be in a development hell, but I doubt it will be abandoned "in favor of a different game". These guys have a good brand on their hands. I will be surprised if they pass on it.

 

[Nathaniel3W]

This is a tremendously honest game.

What? There's not a single person of color in the entire game. None of the bandits or cumans or bandits or knights in the game are women. Are we just going to pretend that black people don't exist? Are we going to say that women can't and didn't fight?

I love this game and have played it several times, but I have never actually finished it. What happens is, once the monastery quest comes around I end up getting frustrated and bored and end up killing everyone in the monastery and then, of course, the town guards get involved so they all die and after that I've got an insatiable bloodlust going on so I end up going town to town looting and pillaging. That's the canon ending to Henry's story in my world.

There's an easy hack to get around the buggy, railroaded monastery quest. Once you know the identiy of the fake acolyte, although the game won't allow you to utilize this knowledge in dialogue, you can find a dagger stashed away, sneak up on your target while he is alone, kill him with an automatic stealth dagger takedown, then pick up the required item from his corpse and continue on with the main quest.

Granted, the remainder of the main quest isn't much good, either.

The main quest was OK, but I really feel like it ignores how powerful Henry has become by the end of the game. If I could wish for just one change to the main quest, it would be a secret ending before you enter the final chapter. I put on my heaviest armor, drank a bunch of potions, walked into Vranik with a halberd, and slaughtered the entire army by myself. At that point Radzig should say "Good job, Henry. You just killed over a hundred people today. We're very proud of you, and a little horrified too." Credits roll.

it's been almost six years since Kingdom Come: Deliverance released, and Warhorse should be readying the sequel for release by now.

In February 2024 they will have been working full time on the next game for perhaps a total of 4 years, at the most, and a portion of that has been slowed-down remote work due to office being closed because of the COVID-19 scamdemic.

 

[cvv]

Yea open world RPGs take fucking eons to make and the full production has definitely not been going on for 6 full years but some type of announcement would be nice.

 

[Smejki]

Smejki you transferred to Larian, right? If so, and I presume you are working on nude bear textures for Baldur's Gate 4, can you tell one of your old friends from Warhorse to come here and post about KCD2? Come on, mannnnn.

Told them. Let me know if it worked! :crossed-fingers:

how's life at larian? which location are you, belgium?

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

I remember when Vavra himself came here years ago, when KCD was just announced, and all the autists were giving him a hard time about his thoughts on turn based vs real time or other shit.

I would love to ask him more serious and interesting questions, like what were they thinking with including master strike into KCD (as implemented), or why they don't try to license KCD engine/tools to other companies.
