So now we pull an entire new army out of our ass AND give them a cannon that we had all along.

They didn't - Otto just got lucky that Markvart was passing through. Otherwise he'd be fucked.

That's what I meant. This is too big of a coincidence to feel believable. And Otto did have the cannon all along so not sending it on the first attempt was peak stupid.

The bandit fortress siege is Owlcat level of poorly scripted. The fun starts when the mission begins with you in combat and it never ends so whatever outfit you wore last night while smithing horseshoes and healing fools stays on through the whole siege.

Then it tells you to knock down ladders, but instead of knocking down ladders it gives you constant Alt prompts to talk to the soldiers climbing the damn ladders. And when you bruteforce through that, it tells you to go to different parts of the fortress. By using stepladders. Around which allied NPCs gather. They hop on, take a step, hop off. And then start all over again, making it impossible to use the ladder. You have to try to push past them or cheese through the textures to get to the level below. Pure frustration.

Not to mention the narrative retardation of - we sent our entire army after like twelve dudes yesterday. Those twelve dudes won. So now we pull an entire new army out of our ass AND give them a cannon that we had all along. Not like it could be useful yesterday. Jesus Christ, this game sometimes. When it's free and open - fun times. When it tries to spin a narrative, I'm pullin my hair out. At least I finally got the sword back (and it's worse than the one I crafted for myself, but whatever).

Congrats, your Henry reached the phase in life when he figured out his parents are not as smart and capable as he once thought :D

This is all Vavra and the Mafia 1 homicidal sprees that ruined the good atmosphere.

if you were wondering how good sword forging is(i dont have perk that would increase durability)

still my largest surprise is alchemy. +50% xp for 2 days. Also +2vit per potion affecting you.

btw for all of stat stacking lovers, there is hidden perk from kcd1 if you pick enough nettle

Lol, man, I just passed that duel at the Nebakov fortress. I checked why I was doing so little damage, and it turns out I am only allowed to fight with the shoddy longsword they give me, the bastards

Btw, I finished the Cumans' quest again, heard them out about how and why they deserted the army, and it's just too embarassing to comment on how badly it was justified, so I'll leave that topic alone. The Cumans and the gypsies seem to be the amateur hour of the writing.

So far I haven't found anyone in Trosky who sells pommels/guards

I've found two of each as loot from bandits. Go to forests or the Apollonia region for some speed dating.

Goddamn that's a p. substantial increase. Time to get forging I guess.

Btw did you get the Basilard sketch in Trosky? I'm 60 hours in but still haven't found it. I guess you can only get in on the Kuttenberg map?

 

[PlayerEmers]

speaking of forging, you can reforge radzig's sword

it has insane stats (and requirements), might be one of the best swords in the game after reforging it

Yeah, I played KCD in German, they didn't have Czech available at launch

The Czech there now is a fandub and is terrible

Eastern European voice acting is generally terrible nowadays in my experience.

I don't know any of the recent European games with European voice acting. The last one I've played was STALKER 2 and that was decent. But before that it was Witcher 3. Played that in Polish, obviously, and it's faaaaar better than English. The nuance of how things are said is completely lost.

It's out.

I wonder how long it will take before it'll get banned...


... oh wait, that mod will be fine on nexus

Definitely found it in Trosky, but don't exactly remember where. I want to say it was some cave in Apollonia, but I'm not sure.

I also suspect that with all the perks from seemingly unrelated trees (agility, thievery, and perhaps something else) shortswords might be the best weapon type in the game. You get so many bonuses to them, it's ridiculous.

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

Also, putting tons of real-world politics in your video game and then claiming that real gamers shouldn't care or react about that is peak subversion tactic.

the Czech Republic, where the game is celebrated as a national success story.

This passage from the article explains why the resident Czechs defend the game.

man im still yet to get close into wedding invitation xD.

I think it was in

Spoiler

appalachia tunnels that probably lead into the castle? Found some door and im quite annoyed that I couldnt open it and enter castle early. Anyway you are looking for a cave east from castle, in the rocks

Dont do forging, for fastest lvlup hit grinding stone and keep damaging/sharpening edge in single point. Did it on axe but dunno if blade length matters

So far I haven't found anyone in Trosky who sells pommels/guards

you need to hit bandit camps. FYI bigger issue are rare steel types, that can also be found in camps

Same as in KCD 1 aka Eye Stabbing simulator. Head poking ftw. Though I reforged the LEgeNDarY LaKE aXe and it's been a 1-2-hit kill on all bandits since.

The blacksmith seems to have a random assortment of crafting recipes on him so I'm guessing if you visit him often you can find all the sketches.

you need to hit bandit camps.

Speaking of bandits, seems like random bandit encounters are way more common than in KCD, as well as bandit camps respawn here where I don't recall that happening in the original.

While I enjoy all the extra murder, 1. I've got more loot than I can sell already and 2. I did appreciate KCD1's more grounded approach to medieval violence.

Uhm, listening to Sigismund during city council meeting makes me think, we are truly fighting on the wrong side of the conflict. I volunteer to clean up the jewish nest in the city.
Good ending accomplished?

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Considering how Hans treats Henry after the intro, siding with Sigismund really should be an option.

I thought this RPG was all about options

He doesn't say exactly that in the interview, and it's a good interview actually. Kudos to the interviewer for asking these things towards the end.

Oh shit and I found a door in the castle that I couldn't open. Thought it's probably a quest door or some such. So that's where it leads.

To be honest, I don't really notice the quality of voice acting when it is in a foreign language, unless it is really badly over exaggerated or has an inappropriate tone for the situation/line. Anything, even this fan dub I suspect, would be preferable to me over hearing a hodge podge of Englsh regional accents and even worse the occasional American accent in 1402 Bohemia. Someone shared a video here or in the drama thread showing the introduction to Musa, the American accent of the officer you go to see after meeting him is every bit as jarring as the Malian scholar himself.

It's the same thing as Witcher and Poland.
Inextricably linked to the culture of the country.
Seems czechs are dumb enough to be fooled by Vavra and his "cultural shenanigans" he inserted in the game...
