Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Henry's coming to see us on February 4th

[Quillon]

Looks like the system of bringing your KCD1 decisions to KCD2 won't be done by loading your KCD 1 save (impossible because of the new generation of consoles) but by dialog options in KCD 2, similar to Witcher.

I much prefer this approach. Does the same thing with less hassle.

Why did they dismissed save import outright on many other interviews instead of saying this then? ffs

Some poor innocent Jew makes a post on Reddit. Despicable people so damn full of themselves. Makes me sick.

He might want to rethink that question.. there might be quests where you hunt jews that were accused of drinking Christian blood which was common at those times..

Golems. Hmm.

Henry won't hit his head and forget all his skills from the first game, but there will be some kind of mechanism. Also the main narrative is that Henry was really good in the small region of the first game but now he is in a much bigger world and his skills need to get better to compete.

Yo, that's much more sensible explanation then amnesia.

Have their been any predictions on GPU demands based on engine and trailer graphics quality? It would suck to have to deal with a crypto bubble/ card shortage on release. Prices now aren't awful, taking currently pre-Weimar inflation into account.

Henry could walk in through the front gate and single-handedly murder the entire garrison of any town in the first game. How powerful are these people in the bigger world? Are they demigods??

Yeah, exactly my thought. I mean how much more badass can you get than the late game enemies in full plates?

I'm a bit worried Warhorse underestimated just how much people adored the feeling of going from an utterly useless village yokel to a full-plated terminator. I'm worried the progression may be much flatter in KCD2 and not nearly as satisfying.

So I spend 30+ minutes trying to catch rabbits with archery 2 and 50 arrows using this dumb ass saving systems. Since game is stupid enough to force me to shoot rabbits to level up archery at least it could let me save anywhere so I can try to hit one with 10+ arrows without needing to pick up each after each shot and then reload the save if I miss all. Now I lost 20 arrows permanently and caught one rabbit not being able to do that
Maybe I should be just abusing the game and be shooting at all farm animals I see like I read on the Net..

Hoping you will automatically start to land hits won't get you far. You have to learn where there arrow is going and lead the target as well, on top of your aim getting more stable with skill.

Truth is I gave up on archery as it is already hard enough to aim with a fucking controller without all the pointless extra complications but I had this quest to gather some hare meat.. I even tried to chase down the rabbits with a sword.. that didn't work either :D
I guess I need to level up dog instead and maybe he catches rabbits.. for now he just stands around a looks at rabbits and laughs at me missing.

Archery was hard in real life, it is hard in the game. Worth it though. After you get captured, I cleared out the entire camp by using stealth archery. Would have been utterly impossible otherwise.

Something satisfying about shooting a Cuman in the nuts with an arrow.

You could even do it from horseback for extra challenge if you wanted to LARP as a Mongol. It worked when storming a bandit camp during the day if you wanted to show up with your balls hanging out. Wasted a lot of arrows doing it but it was kinda fun to thin them out.

On that note, have they said anything about having enemies that actually ride horses to attack you? I'd also dig finishing moves with rondels.

Incidentally I just found out the sequel was a thing as I was watching this video.

If the city is much bigger than Rattay I don't see how I could expect to run this game any time soon. Unless capped at 30 fps maybe. I reinstalled KCD few days ago and got reminded fast how much game rapes my CPU when there are a lot of NPCs around. Even in Skalitz intro game drops below 50 fps often. I tested Rattay on older save and it's down to as low as 32 fps during daytime there. Unless they somehow made NPCs less rapey on CPU I'm expecting Kuttenberg to be unplayable with my i5-8400.

So, why not upgrade your CPU to something like a i7-9700?

It seems like it would be a minor improvement only, not worth even bothering with. I will be wanting to get something much faster for next upgrade. Probably couple years down the line, maybe less. There's more than enough video games to waste time on on current PC already, really not feeling the rush to do it.

Virgin Skalitz garnison vs Chad Kunnenberg garnison.

Seriously though, it's as good lore explanation as you're going to get.

i7 9700 is already like 6 years old too; at this point I would have just gotten new motherboard and something like 7800X3D.

Just assumed he wanted to do an upgrade on a budget.

My prediction is that the game won't look much better than the original (which if you ignore a bit of jank here and there looked far better than a lot of people give it credit for) but will require twice the GPU power lmao. Watch.

So the graphics from gameplay in trailer are what?

Think he was implying there will be bloated, oversized textures for the 4k crowd.

Is the trailer really that much better looking than the original?

I don't think you guys remember how the original actually looked if you set everything in ultra.

Funnily enough, the HD texture didn't do a whole lot to degrade performance in the original.

I only have Xbox graphics and it looks way worse than those in trailer for 2nd game. But let me check youtube for max graphics videos..
This still looks much worse than trailer: https://youtu.be/U8fiEmHSwNE?si=9LTCqSgcbBQeox5R

Most NPCs and enemies look way, WAY better in KCD2.

Environments look about the same as in the first game - gorgeous. Crazy it's been 6 years and KCD1 has still the best forest in any game ever, and it's not even close.

Jesus christ he's just stabbing him, hope that blade isn't real.

It's steel, just blunt

They basically wail the piss out of each other until someone gives up (or simulated fatal wound). Armor works pretty well so they always end up grappling with daggers.

I don't like how the forests look. Feels like a downgrade, not technically, but artistically. My first thought was that I was looking at a forest made by Rockstar Games.
