As I said, no knightly courtship characteristic for the time.
did you miss herbalist confessing when drunk?
Their justification is laughably naive, the only motivation to have them implemented as a friendly bunch is the agenda, and it's breaking the 4th wall for me.
Knightly courtship was (and is) an aspirational ideal, if you did it in normal human interaction you would come off as a dork. Look up "Don Quixote", it's kind of a famous book.
How can I get him drunk?
Nah, disagreed. There are always deserters in every campaign everywhere, people who don't give a fuck about no fighting and shit and only wanna go home to fuck their women and drink beer. I.e. these guys in a nutshell. Plus, as someone already said, you have the option to send them to hell.
He's the final boss of the unarmed fighting chain on the Trosky map. If you beat him (save before) you can drink with him and learn people chased him off for being geh.
I don't know Infinitron, can Henry fuck sheep?
They're mercenaries, but Sigismund ran out of coin so he let them pillage. Pretty common thing to do, especially later in the 30 Years War when that shit completely went out of control.
In the 1400s Cumans weren't some steppe horse piss drinking barbarians anymore, they had lived in Hungary for centuries, were relatively assimilated and Christianized, had their families and social statuses. In other words, cucked. Yes, many of them would've heeded their king's call, gone to war, realized war is fucking terrible after the first battle and tried to gtfo.
It still makes no sense they would be so welcoming of outside people, being deserters, or that they would go to the village inn to eat.
This could be a quest - a shepherd hires Henry to find who is fucking his sheep. Henry discovers a group of Albanians camping in the forest. He can kill them all or be tolerant and they teach him their hidden perk.
Vasko specifically says that they decided to desert after they witnessed the burning of Skalitz. Vasko sounded very moved.
Let's settle at this being bad writing and move on.
Nice try, but you won't get me to play this shit.
Way to miss the point. The entire theme of Don Quixote is that moderns are fallen, cynical people and that even though Don Quixote is insane for wanting to live by the ideals of chivalry in the 1600s and gets beaten, swindled and mocked he is a better and nobler man. It's a tragic story about a hopeless romantic in a fallen age (early modernity), not "lul look at dis dork, he dumb amirite"
"Bbbb-but it's not realistic, goy!"
Not fully sure what you mean, but after the Tour de Nesle affair in France in the 1300s, courtly love became pretty taboo subject in europe. (Two knights became a little two close to some married noble women and were executed for it).
I feel the side quests in KCD1 had a distinct 'magic schoolbus' feel to them, where they were transparently designed to educate the player on some facet of medieval life (e.g. the entire monastery). While KCD 2 is trying to tell character based stories instead. The main quest though felt longer and had less hard gates in it.
KCD 2 has none of that shit.
There's definitely some stuff like that here too. Like when you have to get lutestrings you learn that they were made from sheep guts, when you need paint the tailor explains what dyes were made of at the time and so on. And of course there's the ingame codex.
There is a noblewoman romance in the second half of the game and plenty of sieges. Managing a fief was never the point of this series, go play Manor Lords or M&B. You really need to stop making shit up, whether it's pertaining to the game itself or your surface-level knowledge of history.
Like Vavra himself?
good to know
The Czech billionaire who funded the first game might have been a quality filter on Vavra's worst tendencies. Not just for keeping tokens out of the game, but making sure the dialogue was authentic-sounding enough, the reddit humor kept to a minimum. There is no ESG payout in including a fucking "arrow to the knee" reference when everyone was cringing at this sort of thing when the Wasteland 2 demo did it 2013 (Brother None showed up and promised to get rid of all those).
