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

[Lyric Suite]

Finally finished the game, and I agree with the sentiment - overall it's a good game, but a lot of room for improvement.
There are too many little annoyances that start to add up (every bandit being a master swordsman, forced autolock in
combat vs multiple enemies, horse getting stuck on every effing rock, bush, or piece of wood, few bugs in quest
branching, some boring and pointless side quests, ending made for sequel, etc.). And also, playing on hardcore
without fast travel starts to be real pain in the ass, mainly because of the horse getting stuck on shit.

Bushes- Collision Remover is pretty much mandatory if you decide to replay now, no idea what the hell the devs were thinking with that one. Traveling around becomes much less aggravating when you don't need to dodge every little bush.

I'd say this is a game that warrants a few mods even on a first playthrough.

Fun is a subjective thing. There's the guy who did a whole commercial route in Flight Simulator and had fun doing it.

The fact remains the game is intended to be realistic as its entire reason for being. Asking for less realism is retarded. Go play something else.

Savior's Schnapps and all of the other potions weren't realistic either, but they were still included in the game to make it more fun.

There's always going to be limits to how much realism you can inject into a game but that's neither here nor there.

The fact remains the combat system was designed to mimic real medieval combat. This makes certain elements of it non-negotiable (starting for instance with the first person view).

Now there's no question there are aspects of it that couldn't have been done better but that's a matter of execution, not intent. Asking for a system that violates the intention is retarded. If you don't care for realism you should just play something else. The game was advertised as a medieval simulator why buy it if you don't care about that aspect of it?

First I plow your fields, then I plow your wife for 2 hours. Sir Divish got cucked fucking big time, Henry got some of that MILFy noblewoman strange.

about to play this for the first and only time bros what mods are worth installing

I'd play it as is at first then add a few mods as you go depending on how annoyed you are by certain things (masterstrikes, collision on bushes etc).

On my playthrough, i had the better combat lite version, the no more slow motion mod, the one that removed herb picking animation and eventually i caved and removed the collision hitbox for bushes.

And that's it. Big one imho is to play it on HC right off the bat. If you are struggling with saving at first, don't cheat by installing the unlimited saving mod, just watch a youtube video for how to make the saving potions on the alchemy bench (you can use it without learning to read and you don't need the recipe, just need to perform the correct actions). It's a better alternative to using the save on quit cheese.

BTW, while your first instinct is likely to try to play as a knight, the game has a fairly cool thieving system and there's a whole bunch of morally questionable quests that you can miss out on if you decide to have a moral compass.

Remove masterstrikes. Everything else is just QoL shit, but masterstrikes will destroy the entire combat system.

Hardcore mode, with at least the ‘numbskull’ trait to slow down overleveling. For mods, just the ‘lite’ version of the better combat mod to remove masterstrikes.

Master strikes should be for masters only, not random peasant goobers.

They shouldn't exist at all, at least not with that implementation. It's literally "press button to win". There is no combat situation where this would be fun.

Bushes collision remover.
A sorted inventory.
Instant herbs picking.
Faster archery is also good if you have any real life experience with archery and despair at how shitty it is in game.

Bows are already OP as fuck at high level faster shooting would be the equivalent of having an automatic gun.

Which is exactly what they were in medieval times.
But the mod fixes the damage values so that even if the flight is faster the arrows don't make more damage. It simply removes the excruciating time it takes to fire a bow in this game.

I think he should play with masterstrikes just for a while tho, just to be able to appreciate how much of an improvement it is to remove them. It lierally turns the combat from a dogshit 1 button QTE, to an actually interesting system than can even be pretty fun at times.

Does aiming improve as well if you level up the skill?

Does aiming improve as well if you level up the skill?

Why would you think an improve by use system would improve with use?

Yes, your hands stop shaking so much etc.

I never cared for the bows in KCD, other than as a delivery vehicle for poisons in which case you just wanted the lowest stat villager bow since it had the fastest fire rate. Good thing the sequel adds crossbows which are of course much more tasteful.

Started playing this again and holy shit, I forgot how good it was.

There's mods for that.

They nailed the medieval bohemian setting perfectly. Game has such a beautiful atmosphere travelling through the bohemian countryside and battling bandits.
It is also a coming of age story or a bildungsroman.
