KickStarter Kingdom Come: Deliverance Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

Game will probably pause mid gameplay for tips

Already does that in the first 1hr video.

have QTEs,

Ithas them during persuasion in conversations

an arrow pointing to where you need to go,

Quest compass

and worst of all, non interactable apples.

I finally got the irony here.

I've been wondering while watching the gameplay video, what was the average age in 15th c. Bohemia, when boys would be married? I would expect around 16, and Henry and his buddies seemed maybe 18-20?

It was 15 or less for nobles with mother of Henry the VII bearing him in tender age of 12; on the other hand commoners were expected to actually learn some useful trade so they married later around 17-20 years. Don't see how Henry parents would thrilled him courting ale wench btw the miller's daughter would be much more suitable for man of his position.

 

[Merlkir]

our game is set to be released tomorrow.

Wait what. Tomorrow is the 11th, not the 13th. What?

SURPRISE EARLY RELEASE MODAFACKAS
let me dream for a sec

 

[Ganimoth]

I believe that is some press statement that was formely supposed to be sent out a day before the game release.

Mhm, makes sense for a craftsman's son. And the famers, I guess, would be married off younger, the sooner you have children, the sooner they'll be able to help on the field.

I don't like Theresa's model and Bianca's model seems kindda wooden and undercooked. I'll let both of them wenches die.

I fancy the lady from the castle. She must be itching for some D with that 90 year old husband of hers something fierce.

I think the reality was, if you were a nobleman you simply raped that country girl and usually got away with it.

I don't see how they didn't get away with it always. It's not like the peasants had (m)any rights and they were considered to be property of the nobles.

 

[WhiteGuts]

There was something called the King's justice, you know. Peasants worked the lands but had to be treated decently by the nobles.

 

[Burning Bridges]

There was also something called the law of the stronger.

I mean the whole "our release version has to be finalized some time before..." bit only really applies to console decline. Also potentially a physical PC release, but I assume it will still just need Steam anyways like most physical releases these days...

Meh, physicals aren't necessarily a decline, they still make sense for people from third world countries like America with shitty connection.

Also, they're more old school and thus prestigious.
I always buy physical copies when there is one.

Only people who have never moved in their life yet buy physical copies. Trust me.

 

[unfairlight]

Physicals are inherently pretty shitty for actually playing games. Intrusive DRM like Securom during the mid 2000s, needing to have the DVD or CD inside the drive to play the game and having to track down no-CD cracks off of sketchy sites, disks obviously being pretty fragile, et cetera, et cetera. But I still loved them for the nostalgia. The box designs for many games were really pretty, the installation having those cool screenshots, the wait before booting up the game, it was all very cozy for some reason.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

they still sell physical copies of PC games?
what the fuck

Unpacking the games is the best part of moving. Should they be alphabetised? What's the procedure if 'the' is the first word in the title? Sort by studio or genre? Only vertical stacking or a mix of vertical and horizontal stacking to save space? Which ones go up in the attic? We don't eat until this is done.

 

[Alienman]

With a day 1 patch that big, I'm almost certain the kickstarter dvd version isn't DRM free.

[Anomander Rake]

I don't care about physical copies. Actually Gog is the best thing ever invented. They even patch the installer so you are done with one click

I understand the beauty of the physical copy, but to be honest the real beauty is supporting the developers by buying their games when worth it, not edging over a box

We seem to have feminists around here or what? Pas mal, pas mal... Peasants were not being raped left and right in the Middle ages, people.

 

[cvv]

It's funny. I think the last physical game I bought was Wizards & Warriors, in like 2003. And that wasn't just some cheap lame ass plastic case, it was a full-on beautifully painted big box.

Today the only reason for me to buy physicals would be collector's editions, if I was impressed by art books and plastic action figurines that is.

 

[harhar!]

I just want to know how shit the combat is on this scale



dark messiah ---------- good --------- bad ----------- witcher 3 shit

>Dark Messiah
>better than good
I mean, yes, it was fun but it had all the depth of a wading pool, even with magic involved (this is mostly due to the AI, though, I think)

Kicking orcs off ledges though, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaah

 

[Darkzone]

Serfdom was not slavery and peasants had certain rights. But i don't know how much of it was coded and enforced in Regnum Bohemiae. Also if the same applies to Renum Bohemiae as to Regnum Poloniae then most of the peasants were free people enjoying their full rights in 1403 and could take an noble to the court for violation of their rights, like rape. Convicting of such a noble is an other thing. In Poland many times the serfs have taken up to the polish courts and have achieved victories for certain rights, like the right for not being executed by their Masters.

If a lord systematically terrorized his subjects, this would not have gone unrecorded - church documents, oral tradition, somewhere.

For a picture of what life was like during the Dark Ages, for a counterexample, see this (it's in English, don't worry):

[...]We seem to have feminists around here or what? Pas mal, pas mal... Peasants were not being raped left and right in the Middle ages, people.

There is nothing more boner inducing, than some unwashed, sweaty, and probably stinking farmhand girl.
Those fancy ladies with their clean long hair and silk panties can hide in shame.

Ask any rape historian.
