Dan Vavra - Designing historical open world RPG Kingdom Come (Digital Dragons 2018)
- Thread starter Einherjer
- Start date
The environment is nice yeah but as a game KC:D is hillarious as a sword & sandal italian peplum.
That's actually the best way I've seen him being described.
As a huge fan of the game I'll watch this later.
My brother played through the entire game on og ps4 and he didn't have too many issues.
I'd really want to play one of those... Eurospy and Spaghetti Westerns too.
I haven't played it yet, but how is it anything like a sword & sandal Italian peplum? It's set in medieval Bohemia. You're off by over a milennia.
One of the best games i have ever played. Loved the quest designs. The drunken priest quest is my all time favorite now. :D
I played it on PS 4 and cant complain about it.

Yeah, that's what I wanna know. Is it stable and decently patched on PS4 by now? Don't want to start it if it's going to be a bug-and-crash fest.
Definitely, they're Czech.
Thanks for posting this, i'll watch soon.
Wow, they used fragment of polish movie Krzyzacy to make reel video for publishers, awesome! :)

I look forward to his future talk about how feminazis are going to destroy video games and Pizzagate was real
Warhorse did a fantastic job with Kingdom Come. I'm very glad Vavra and his team managed to give us a glimpse of their history through the game. It's a fascinating setting and one that, like Vavra describes at the beginning of his talk, 99 percent of a typical Western audience would have no clue about before playing KC:D.
The game is fantastic! I'd love a sequel set in 19th century American west with the same "realistic" gameplay mechanics and open-world design.
Having just finished the video, I would say it's well worth watching in its entirety. Vavra spends a bit of time countering some of the myths concerning the Middle Ages and responds to some of the criticisms levied against the game (such as those from a certain art history blog). He details the great amounts of energy that went into researching the era as well as some of the setbacks they faced, including compromises they felt were necessary for gameplay reasons or user accessibility. It's a real shame that they weren't able to include a full Czech voiceover - it's something they really wanted to do but would have cost more money and an extra six months on top of the year-plus they spent recording the English/German/French VO.

Just finished watching it as well, was really interesting.
Honestly, I wish more games were made that attempted to realistically portrait a certain period in time. I'm hoping with the success of kingdom come more developers will attempt it.

KC:D is sitting untouched in my Steam library after buying it day 1 (other than fiddling with graphics and benchmarking) ... aaaargh!!!
I do recall with the full authentic voices as well that it would be entirely inpossimpo to recreate accurately due to the fact no one alive knows what they sound like. Maybe one day science can give us a wonderful insight.
Still haven't bought and played this. Really should given the praise it's gotten. And since both Divinity: OS 2 and Pillars 2 is coming out on PS4 this fall i better do it before then lol!
He's right, Vavra seems to be a good dev, that doesn't mean he can't be an asshole.
Interesting talk.
I enjoyed Kingdom Come: Deliverance a lot on release, faced only one bug (the
side-quest was unfinishable, so I had to skip it). I really loved the combat mechanics and the world. Quests and characters are probably not on the same level as in The Witcher 3, but not too far off, they are pretty good. I highly recommend this game to everyone who likes open-world and/or story-driven RPGs.

Let just say, I know his personal and developer side.... I am not saying he is not right.
Nobody is going to jump down their throat for that. It's when people start denying the shirty things he's attached himself to where you see problems.
Yeah and discussing this is not the purpose of the this thread so let's move on.
The game actually features non-white characters with the cumans who were historically present at the time.
Yeah well, I am not sure how much the policy about this person has change in here. Carry on guys, I am not taking a bullet for him again.
Finally watched the video. A pretty interesting talk indeed. It's baffling how much research went into the game and how it had an impact on even some small details in the game (the part about the "Dark Ages" myths in the talk). Like you had to get the approval of a royal court to execute someone but since the game is set during a a time of war there was no royal court and that's reflected in a dialogue in the game.
Really hope we'll get a sequel. I'm still a bit let down by the ending.
Though when he said that medieval Europe was probably safer than today's Europe I had to cringe a bit. This whole "Europe is unsafe [because of the refugees/immigrants]" is just blah. Not sure if he intended to make it sound like I interpret it but it's Vavra after all.
