    Welcome to any gaming community! There’s always a few miserable people who aren’t happy with anything.

  I’m playing through the first one right now, in the early hours, and for anyone who’s played this sequel, did they add any quality of life improvements? In theory, I like a lot of what the game’s doing, but when it tells me I need to find a way out of a castle, and it doesn’t let me jump over a short chain barrier, it can be frustrating. I talked to one NPC who I accidentally quickly buttoned through a dialogue with without clicking on the option that clearly would have given me a hint on what to do next, and without reloading a save, I couldn’t get that dialogue option back. There was also another NPC that I found the first time, before reloading a save, who gave me similar advice for how to progress, but due to the schedule system and the lack of any sort of notation built in to the map, I couldn’t find her again, because she wasn’t in the same spot. Things like that are why Avowed was built to be “static”, as much as it got criticism for it, despite most RPGs being built that way to avoid exactly this problem I had with KC:D. (I have since made my way out of the castle, after looking up a walkthrough and save scumming a chest that I had to lockpick, because the tutorial was very bad at teaching me how lockpicking actually worked.)

    This game is not for you then. It’s OK, you can play something else, like a Ubisoft open world game. They have a dynamic world but also markers for everything so you can button through dialogue. The story is also much simpler than KKD so you don’t have to pay attention. Characters are also quite one dimensional, it’s easy to follow, much like Avowed. Highly advise AC shadows or Mirage.

      This type of comment is why people don’t try new things.

      The second game is incredibly difficult and frustrating. I’ve got about 600 hours in it so far. The learning curve is very steep and if you don’t pay attention you might miss easy ways to do quests and you’ll have to murder hobo or save scum. Sometimes I feel like the developers are straight up trolls who do shit intentionally hostile to the user.

      That said the game is very rewarding and fun once it clicks. It’s kind of like soulslikes in that regard. You just have to play it to get better at it. AND DON"T CLICK CANCEL THE DIALOG!!!

      There is a place for every type of game and every type of gamer. If you are a condescending dick to people they aren’t going to want to try the harder games and you won’t be able to talk to them about how cool the harder games are.

      For anyone who wants to actually talk about the game with others who like it come join us at /c/kingdomcomedeliverance.

      I’m also playing through the first game at the moment, I’m about halfway through though with the main quest, and taking my time with side quests and activities at the moment.

      I’m really enjoying my time with it.

      However I completely agree with the person your replying to, the game isn’t hard or difficult at the beginning it’s obnoxious, once you understand these systems, which you’ll be lucky to do in-game, you can deal with it and the more you play the more accessible the game becomes, but in the beginning you have to be too efficient and adapt to a very unfamiliar experience.

      So this game is for me, and it’s probably for the OP too.

      In case you’re interested (you’re probably not), even soulslikes games usually put the tutorial messages in one place where you can come back to them to reread them

      Do you think a new player needs to play KCD1 before playing 2? I’ve never played either and am ready to start a new game.

  im seeing a lot of people complaining about the difficulty, and i highly suggest you get into alchemy and brewing potions/ poisons.

  its a game changer in the early game especially.
