First look at the HUD:

[Nas92]

Isn't his name Jindřich in Czecz dub?
And Индржих in Russian.
So, he's only called Henry in English version, because English-speaking people are not able to understand Slavic names.

Anglos were a mistake

 

[thesecret1]

There are 10+ million Czechs and every single one of them would completely understand why an internationally-sold game can't afford to have all names properly Czech.

What would be a "proper" Czech version of the name Henry?

Jindřich

Jindřich (Yindrzikh).

Now watching Kwan and Anglostan streamers play this version would certainly by fun but not sure we would ever see a third game in that alternative world.

P.S.: Btw "Jindřich = Henry" wasn't invented by Warhorse, it's a traditional localization over here. For example king Henry VIII. is Jindřich VIII. in history books etc.

not sure we will see a third game even in this one

Jindřich (Yindrzikh).

Is that just a tarded way of spelling Heinrich?

Jindřich (Yindrzikh).

Is that just a tarded way of spelling Heinrich?

No, it sounds very different.

Jindřich (Yindrzikh).

Is that just a tarded way of spelling Heinrich?

Yes.

And Heinrich is a tarded way of spelling the original Haganrich.

Btw most languages stuck to the original, kindda, ish - Heinrich, Henri, Genrich, Enrico, Enrique.... only us and the Balts have Jindřich and Indrikis, for some reason.

 

[ShiningSoldier]

He's called Henryk in Polish version, which is a typical Polish name.

The actually important part is the new HUD. A bit too... boxy? I think I prefer the KCD1 one.

Let's wait for the character screen tho. Two more days.

 

[kangaxx]

Doesn't look all that different to the KCD UI does it? Maybe a bit more rectangular at the bottom as you say.. maybe it's a bit smaller too.

 

[DKunit]

Compass looks mostly the same. Health bar looks more compact. I do appreciate what I assume is a "currently equipped weapon" icon.

Definitely too colourful for this setting.

 

[DKunit]

The colors of the Health/Stamina/Horse stamina bars are basically the same from what I remember. The bars are just bulkier.
Not to mention, we are in the very wealthy city of Kuttenburg. I'd say bright colors are more appropriate here than in the first game.

 

[notpl]

Guise, is it over? Has Kingdomu Comu 2 now been branded as woke due to a single stronk wamman being depicted in an artwork?

Good, maybe people will start to take the ourguy blinders off when it comes to KCD. Ffs, peole have been sucking this game off for historical accuracy when the main character looks agressively britbong and has a name like Henry when everyone else has proper Czech names.

Skill issue - his name was Heinrich when I played on release. A better time, before the slavic upstarts got the ridiculous idea that they were Bohemian.

Not that I like the design that much but medieval people LOVED colors and used them as much as possible. Completely historically accurate to have a colorful UI.



Just take a look at this, an average medieval lord had room that looks like my toddler nephew's room

 

[Alienman]

I hope you can disable the top compass. Don't like how that makes the view feels boxed in.

 

[DKunit]

Just noticed: There's 3 "sections" between the green and yellow bars. Wonder what that could be.

Also, I don't know if this was the case in the original, but it looks like we'll be able to have more pinned quests than before if we can go all the way to at least G.

 

[KeAShizuku]

I always forget how Germany is the big boogeyman for Eastern Europeans.
It's not really an inferiority complex because lets face it Czechs ARE inferior to Germans.

 

[Paul_cz]

It's not really an inferiority complex because lets face it Czechs ARE inferior to Germans.

We are not the ones commiting civilizational suicide by importing millions of incompatible inbreds while destroying our nuclear plants.

...and we make better games

 

[DKunit]

Not that I have much stake in this argument as an Amerifat, but KCD is made in a German engine (CryEngine).

 

[Cohesion]

Btw it seems in the din and clamor of anti-wokism some people have forgotten that before girlbosses and stronk wahmen there had always been actual strong women.

Nekrasov's woman is a linguistic stereotype characterizing the ideal-heroic Russian woman, who “will stop a horse at a gallop, enter a burning hut”.

CryEngine is Kebab.
