I loved the first game because it took you from being little more than a peasant to playing a key role in a noble resistance army. That journey was fantastic. However, Henry's story clearly wasn’t finished, and I expected Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to build on that -- maybe give us a fresh perspective instead of repeating the same "peasant to sort-of-knight" arc. But from the reviews, it seems like that's exactly what they’ve done. Again...

By the end of KCD, we learn Henry has noble blood. So why is he still trudging through mud and filth, barely scraping by? That decision blows my mind. KCD1 already gave us a brilliant, realistic look at peasant life in the Middle Ages -- I was sure KCD2 would take the opportunity to properly show the noble (knight) experience this time around.

Either way, I have the game preloaded and will play once I'm done plundering the high seas.

Probably because he has amnesia.

I bet he gets ambushed early on or something, stripped of his cool stuff and a hit on the head made him mentally challenged. I mean... their marketing department has been showing a lot of drunk, drooling Henry's lately, like the game is more comedy and less drama. I'm just not at all convinced that's what the quiet fans were hoping for. The loud fans, on the other hand, experienced pure ecstacy when they found out one of Henry's battle shouts is "I'M FEELING QUITE HUNGRY"..... 🤦🏽‍♀️

Seems like it's a great game if you like:

- a punishing save system
- really slow story starts (hour+)
- weird, non-heroic combat systems

It does seem to be good otherwise, and I don't mean that part sarcastically. It's just not for everyone, including me.
It's not Fortnite or COD. You have to actually think for this one.

Some of the best parts of the first game for me involved sneaking around and robbing people, especially bandits. Sneak into their camp at night, circling around and taking out each one quietly was some of the most rewarding gaming I've experienced.

Never really bothered me. You get tons of save potions, and once you learn to make it yourself, it's basically a non-issue. Supposed to be more forgiving this time, but feels like a pretty pointless thing to complain about tbh.

I didn't find the save system to be punishing, just more restrictive than being able to freely mash quicksave at will. Lots of games, both old and new, have done similar things to reduce save-scumming -- it's a way to help ensure there are actual consequences to the choices you make, including getting in over your head in combat. The existence of a technically unlimited consumable item that allows you to save anywhere is a lot more generous than some other games that do limit it to only saving when sleeping in a bed or similar. Find them, buy them, loot them from corpses, brew them yourself with simple alchemy ingredients... They even added a 'Save and Exit' option about a month after the game came out, so needing to be able to quit playing at any time stopped being an issue then.

Yeah, I didn't really get the success of the first one. I've tried to play it once or twice, never made it that far. I do have it on EGS from some giveaway, so maybe I'll try it again at some point, with the Save system mod.

Eventually there were quite a few mods for the first one. I haven't played it past the first 30 minutes yet but will be soon on the advice of a friend who thinks it checks all my boxes....eventually....and with mods. The reasons I hadn't played it are basically the same as yours. Doesn't help with this sequel as of yet, but if you are going to give the first one another chance..hit Nexus or one of the mods sites up first.

Yes, it does use the same save system. I assume a mod will quickly be released to allow players to freely save.

I am still working on beating the first one. I get sidetracked constantly by doing random activities, which I don't mind, I really enjoy it.

Watched ACG's review and I'll put this on the backburner until many patches have been released. Still not a big fan of the clunky combat system.

Given the positive previews, I'm not surprised that the reviews are also very positive. I'm very excited to play this tomorrow.
