If someone can somehow mod the combat out entirely and replace it with something more simple this game would be a ton better. Combat ruins it for me but everything else is stellar, even with the bugs.
Like I can't believe I am saying this but if we had simple skyrim like combat here I would be crying tears of joy
Modders plsss

Try archery. Once you get good at it, its very satisfying.
Its not like skyrim, it actually takes quite a bit of skill.
I've only had to use my sword a few times since tutorial.
Mods are incoming for sure but right now the late game is so unbalanced you'll be one-shotting or two-shotting most enemies half-way through. A reasonably high level in Warfare, a good sword, good armour and you are a medieval terminator.
It's pretty easy to use once you get used to it, especially since there aren't really any penalties for using it at close range. In fact, it's superior to a melee weapon in many cases since you can just one-shot a lot of enemies by shooting them in the head when they run straight at you.
Lock picking is fine when you pick a lock within your skill level. People just didn't bother learning how to do it and complained. Took me 3 tries on a controller on Xbox X before I figured it out
Pretty simple keep your lock pick in the gold area with the right stick and then turn both sticks in unison counter clockwise while making sure with slight adjustments you keep the right stick in the gold area when turning.

The person playing in the above video has a perk that allows him to more easily dodge when not wearing any plate mail. To evade, you simply need to move away from the enemy with the same timing as a perfect block. Practice with Bernard if you are having difficulty, he has a repeatable tutorial for it iirc. It can be pretty useful if you aren't using a shield.
Ugh, I was in the middle of this side quest and chose to settle a matter with a duel to the death to avoid needless bloodshed or whatever but after I finally won against that fraker his posse attacked me, that seems like it shouldn't happen, or maybe it should cos they're jerks, I don't know, I was near dead, my horse kept throwing me off when I tried to escape, it seems impossible since there's like 10 of them. Oh well, the fight was awesome, I love these highly skilled enemies.
I'm not trying too hard to avoid combat, but I'm not going after it either. I think I killed 3 people so far. One bandit when making my way back to Skalitz and
the two dudes who captured sir Hans.
You make some fair points, and I should say that by people of colour I don't necessarily mean people from Africa, Jews as you said, anyone not from this area.
As for the female characters you mention
theresa and Stephanie both have a quest line that ends abruptly when you have sex with them. That's kind of the end of their story. Also you get a buff after having sex with Theresa called "alpha male".
Anyway, I think mostly I appreciate being able to discuss this without a complete thread meltdown, so thanks!
Just to be clear, anytime you have sex in the game, you get the Alpha Male perk. It's pretty smart to go to the bathhouse and get the +2 charisma it gives if you plan on doing a main quest mission as you are likely to have to talk your way out of something.
I reacted most likely the same way as you at first before learning that.
The culmination of the time spent with Theresa is a buff called Alpha Male?? the fuck?
no, however you can't sell the stolen items to stores for a while, you can only sell them to millers.
Lady Stephanie ending that way... maybe. She is married after all and you are probably just an adventure for her. A relationship between a married noble woman and the son of a blacksmith. No way that something like this would end up somewhere nice in the 15th century, it would make sense for both of them not engaging more often. Theresa on the other side? I was pretty irritated and came back for several days thinking a new dialogue option would eventually come up, but nothing. It was an unsatisfactory and abrupt ending. I had the feeling that the quest was building up a relationship and not just a one time thing. Maybe they cut the quest? Anyway, it's a dump ending and I didn't notice the alpha male buff. It's dump too, what can I say.
Yeah.
I'm actually surprised they didn't incorporate some sort of 'player house', perhaps that's more difficult to code than I realise, but it would be a really cool sense of progression and a good thing to sink all that Groschen into. Obviously I mean something you can choose where to build from a set amount of locations, pick and upgrade the furniture, put your wife in there (historically accurate, no? :P)
Why do people say there were no black people in Medieval Europe? This is not true and wish people would stop using this as a talking point. i.e Colin Moriarty

There are some more interesting "skirmishes" than that one, but they are all equally janky and scripted and none of them are large scale at all. Maybe 20 ~ 30 NPCs on screen at once at a maximum.
Something like this would have been great. Sitting at over 40k Groschen and I have no idea what I should spend them on.
Bud just get gud. Seriously though. If you practice you get good.
Big sized battles were probably not a realistic expectation. I think they do manage to give them some skill based on the mission structure and how you advance through the fights but of course the biggest issue is that the combat system starts to fall apart with battles of that size. The main reason IMO is the lock on system. I mean, I'm not a medieval warfare expert by any means but I would have to think the way they would have to approach large scale battles would be completely differently if they wanted something closer to realism. You would maintain a formation, probably been equipped with a spear and shield, maybe a poleaxe, unless you were an archer or part of a cavalry.
Maybe towards the end of the game but the real problem is that the economy is messed up. Part of that is because you can simply loot everything off of a person you kill and that there are so many chests to steal expensive things from it's just really easy to become as rich as a lord in no time.

dude is late to the party and tryin to get some good clicks by throwing out anti-sjw bait.
Yea, really. Haven't even played this yet, but actually asking for shitty/mindless Skyrim like combat is just laughable.
It's GOTTA be better than that, right guys ?
Did you even read the article?
Regardless, I'm sure there were some in some of the major cities due to trade, crusades, and other endeavors. In some countryside town somewhere around Prague, probably weren't many if any. Can't see how it matters much.
You just have to work with it and be patient. I hated it for awhile...but if you stick with it, it gets good.
WH is just a relatively small team, KCD seems to sell fairly well though. So we'll maybe get more features in the future or in a sequel. KCD also seems to be more of a Story/Quest driven RPG and not a "do what you want" sandbox experience. Is it a perfect game? No, of course not and there are many things to improve like player housing or how about Henry getting a title eventually and having to manage his own castle. That would be cool.
Would it matter if he weren't from a practical perspective?
I've always been a little at a loss of this "controversy" to quite honest. Dude has said racist things on twitter (obviously.). Either a person (i) separates the game from the creator and judges independently, (ii) holds the view of the head of the studio as just as important as the game itself and makes a judgement from there. Either purchase the game or don't based on whatever metric is the best for each individual person.
No room for any nuance or discussion? Everyone should just keep quiet and either buy the game or not?
What is there to discuss under the rules of moderation? (Which are perfectly reasonable given the nature of the issue).
And I never said anything about "keeping quite." (Are you looking to pick an argument?).
Just pointing out how it all boils down.
Well if you look over this page and the one before, myself and a couple of other users were having a perfectly amicable conversation about female characters and their treatment in this game.
The only reason it matters is when people say there are no people of color in the game because there were none in Medieval Europe.
As a longtime Colin/Beyond listener, I wish he'd actually play and talk about the game instead of bringing us tabloid-esque socio-political coverage.
I meant in terms of the controversy of the racist remarks of the lead writer/developer.
There are plenty of topics to discuss about the game.
This game takes place in 1400s Bohemia, which is nowhere near the places your article mention. Also the demographics of modern day Czech Republic show this too.
Regardless. This game is proof people want historical games. People need to kick start a game like it in a different era and area where there is more diversity. ACO is a prime example.
If you want as close to realistic as possible this is it.
If you want dragons dogma this ain't it.
I personally can enjoy Dark Souls AND Skyrim AND this and Dragons Dogma.
It's like ARMA vs Call Of Duty. I like both. Some can't like both.
He is a gamergate supporter so his views on women are controversial in the same way.
