Kingdom Come: Deliverance

[mikeck]

I would love to see the next iteration of this game set earlier in the Middle Ages...perhaps in England during the "Anarchy" of the mid 12th century. First, the era and location provides plenty of intrigue and duplicity. But secondly....tournaments! I want to take part in tournaments. Not your 15th century jousting. But William Marshall 12th century tourneys where hundreds of knights fought against eachother (on teams) and sought to disable and capture other knights. By doing so, they could get money ransominh knights or taking their equipment as payment. I think that would allow for a more authentic training system than Capt Bernard.

Besides, I generally find the high Middle Ages more intriguing.

Nevertheless, I really hope warhorse decides to make a sequel set in a earlier period. This is a game I've waited a long time for and Mount and Blade doesn't quite scratch that itch

I'm just the opposite...late middle ages/renaissance I like....an Italian setting would be awesome.

^Thanks. I'm just curious what the average time is that people put in before they think they get too overpowered.

My complaint isn't really so much that I'm over-powered--maybe a bit, but I can live with that--it's that I found it too easy to get all the best gear. I still had to learn how to fight, and I think that learning curve keeps on going into the endgame.

But herbalism solves all of Henry's financial woes a little too easily. You don't even have to budget time for it, really, because you usually have a couple of hours to kill between the time you travel home and bedtime and/or between the time you get up and the time the stores open. That plus bandit loot and it didn't take me long enough to reach the point where there was nothing else in the stores for me and I was hoarding groschen. There's side loot but it's very rare to find a piece better than store loot.

What I really want, though, is more game. Don't get me wrong, not saying I didn't get my money's worth. Just saying I got more money where that came from if I can get more game for it.

[Gusington]

You're done?

[Sir Slash]

That's what she said.

[glen55]

No, I didn't finish the plot, but I uncovered the whole map, shopped in all the stores, and read about the treasure chest loot in online guides.

[Gusington]

How many hours?

[glen55]

How many hours?

Haha, Steam says I've played the game 161 hours. But I've restarted twice and also have a tendency to leave the game on when I'm not playing, so I don't think that number bears great meaning. I am otherwise not really able to estimate, but like I said, I got my money's worth.

[Gusington]

Cool, now I know I will too.

It's not 26 gigs of additional material. Apparently they added some high resolution graphics to replace some old ones. Very "memory heavy"

I'm running my 1.3 game on patch 1.4 and so far so good EXCEPT: when I went to a bathhouse and asked for a new haircut, I selected the option of the cut I wanted and then all the text options disappeared. Only thing on the screen was Henry looking like a moron. Had to Ctrl-alt-dlt out. That may because I didn't start a new game

On the issue of being overpowered. I had recovered "St George's" longsword from a treasure map. It is THE best sword in the game. Against mid level to weaker bandits with mail or gambisons I couldn't even combo since after I hit them once (maybe twice) they fall on the ground and give up. So to remedy that, I bought the "fear not" longsword from an armored (a mid level longsword) and use that.

There are ways to adopt since honestly, it's VERY unrealistic that some guy is going to put the greatest sword ever made inside a wooden trunk by a tree and then sell a treasure map.

I find that progression is more authentic and balancing far better if you don't use any special items you find in chests AND, limit your plate armor, gauntlets, and such to stuff you buy. Those
Types of armor tender to be fitted to the purchaser so picking some up a dead guy likely wouldn't work.

Honestly, when I saw that 26 Gig patch taking up four hours of download time, I uninstalled the game. I'm not playing it right now anyway, and if I'm going to be redownloading the dang thing every once in a while anyway, I'll wait until the patches settle down and download it ONCE. (...well, once more.)
