KC:D is good, but the combat is janky as hell. I get that it's realistic to not be able to take on 2+ guys in real life combat, but you can still cheese the battles by circling around on your horse shooting arrows while your enemies put up a futile chase on foot. I think it might have been better to give it 3rd person combat and make it possible to manage fighting more than one guy at a time. That would have been more fun IMO.

I admit, the combat frustrated me at the start. I thought that this is never going to work, but as others have said, you just have to practice in game so that Henry learns AND you as well. Once youre really skillful in combat, its even possible to win against 2 or even 3 guys. Often times its more about being stealthy anyway, so you avoid waking up a whole camp or house, which would completely overwhelm you or get the guards called on you. Once youve mastered bows, it becomes a lot easier as well.
But the devs have stated that you can actually complete the game without killing anyone if its not really necessary. Theres a trophy for that.

...and at the beginning of the game Henry doesn't know how to fight, shoot a bow, or even read...

Oh okay. So sort of like a real-life Prez simulator.

KCD is one of the best RPGs ever. I highly recommend anyone get this if they haven't played it yet.

Just be aware that it tries to be as realistic as possible, and at the beginning of the game Henry doesn't know how to fight, shoot a bow, or even read. All of these things must be trained in the game.

No. No no no. And in case the first four didn't come through: N O P E!

What you suggested were two things that would have MURDERED KC:D.

KC:D is one of the most immersive and special games I've ever played. It really felt like I've tasted a little bit of what the medieval life was really like. Truly astonishing and beautiful game.

I was in a rural area where the Donau ran through in eastern Germany last week and the environment put me right back into the game. Reinstalled it yesterday.

Yep, exactly true.
I just finished playing it a year ago, but for the past 6 months I always felt the urge to play it again, just because of the awesome and authentic depiction of middle and eastern Europe. Feels like youre really there.

MOTHERFUCK!!! I paid full price for kingdom come deliverance just 731 days ago and now its fucking free to play as an illegal Epic Game Store Bribe!!!

More to add to the pile of unplayed freebies. One day in retirement maybe!

I wonder if the turning off autocombat and unlimited saves mods would work with this version?

Why wouldn't it?

Kingdom Come is one of those games I kept meaning to buy but always got distracted by other stuff and never got around to it,.... so this is nice.
Maybe I'll actually play it now, sometime....

I grabbed this freebie. Consistency is job one.

Only one game?

Good catch, I forgot Aztec. Snagged it.

Reminder:
HD pack (visual/sound) is available in Kingdom Come Deliverance if you scroll down past the DLC.
