Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Thread

Many codexers will love this quest.

This quest

Spoiler

Really turned out to be not what I expected. It being a secret plot by the jews to kill you/take you to their secret jew tunnels is hilarious. I'll continue this storyline and see if there's a sudden swing towards the jew victim narrative.

One thing I like about both KCD games is the freedom to do whatever sidequest you decide is worth the time or would be interesting. Since you only advance in level through learn-by-doing skills, and there is no Quest XP, only Quest C&C, you can entirely skip parts that don't fit your idea of the story - like the gypsies or the Cumans stuff.

Listen to AwesomeButton and cvv and don't get involved with the Gypsy prophecy quest. It really is tedious as hell.

The fact that these two painfully Britbong looking motherfuckers are supposed to be the epic Slav heroes just never ceases to make me chuckle.

This is worse than Stalker 2.

And the first games was the same voice-wise?

Yes. I don't know how anyone could bear to play KCD in English. Everyone had that mealy-mouthed gutterspeak all the non-Etonian UK people increasingly have nowadays, and Henri sounded like the dumbest of the bunch.

It's far worse in this one. They use way more modern crap and everyone says stuff like "fellah" and "yanking my pizzle" constantly.

I skipper theft missions of the miller in the first game.
They say that there are many stealth mission and Henry gets often arrested and disarmed. I hope there Is a legal way to solve this.

Is Zizka in game? I know that Is metagaming and he ACTED as Wenceslaus's supporter before killing the rightful King's son (kicking his wife belly) and opening the gate to summon the army that helped Hellsites, but there Is a way to kill him to prevent Bohemia becoming a battleground?

To raise your reputation back:
- for lighter crimes you can pay an indulgence
- for murders and such you can go talk to the priest at Trosky and he'll send you to a penance pilgrimage. Haven't done this yet but if it's anything like the penance in the first game you have to walk barefoot across the map and pray at every shrine and church you encounter.

As for the legal side of things, you either have to talk/charm/threaten your way out of a punishment or just serve it.

He is...

Hard spoiler

...and it turns out it was Henry who took his first eye

BBC shilling for KCD2 was definitely not in my bingo card for this year.

Now that there's a black man in the game it is halal by BBC standards.

This is actually very good design, you play to experience the stuff, not just skip all the dialogues, collect loot 'n exp and move on. Also very good filter for people that just want to go full epic, so they can rush the main questline, I feel like even battles during the main story are a little turned down in difficulty than they were in the first game. While I still agree some (side) quests are way too drawn out, good thing you can just skip for now and complete them later, when you are in a village nearby or so.

there is no Quest XP

There actually is quest XP, you get various stats and skills "improvements" as a reward of many (most?) quests. That's particularly valuable for stats and skills that are slow or pain in the ass to level up like VIT, AGI, Marksmanship and others.

those things are usually kinda hard to follow, same with UI when you sell stuff, it's pretty unreabable, the UI in general is a mess.

I take the skill xp accumulated during quests into account, but you can accumulate it in open world activities as well. That's not comparable to the gating in games with just XP. Also, even the quests you can complete using different skills and to adifferent extent.

No, you definitely get actual skill improvements for completing some (all?) quests. Not when you're doing them but when you turn them in.

Yeah, I played KCD in German, they didn't have Czech available at launch and I refuse to play with the English dub for a game set in Bohemia (or any other non-English speaking country).

Henry's actor is from Birmingham, believe it or not, everyone in Birmingham talks like that, it's like a city full of Rocky Balboas.

Zed Duke of Banville
Do we have a low magic D&D module (preferrably in the Greyhawk setting) ?
That would've made for a better game than KCD.

Considering Vavra is kind of nationalist it is a wonder he even allowed that barbarian language in the game.

The Czech there now is a fandub and is terrible
