>>537524017 (OP)
couldn't go back and reply to the old thread in time before it got archived.

>>537524658
it's fine, no one's left here anyway

I know we joked the gen is dying bc warhorse confirmed no hansry scene in new DLC. Is that true?
I noticed fanarts on twitter didnt get as many as engagment as well now or maybe just confirmation bias on my part

>>537535414
They consistently been saying there is no Hans dlc, all they did was say it again

>>537535414
It might actually be. Tumblr and the hansry subreddit also appear to have slowed down. And just when the fujos started announcing fanzines too...

>>537536017
Then why is the gen dying
Come on now! At least hang on for when the dlc actually drops

>>537536060
Lol for real
Bril just released a fanzine and the reception is quite abysmal relative to the reception she usually got

>>537536136
I suppose it's about time for the fujo crowd to move on

>>537535414
>>537536017
This is true but I think what did it was them saying that there's no plans for romance stuff in any future updates or anything, not just dlc. Plus there haven't been any Tom or Luke streams in a while.

yeesh, fujos these days give up on a fandom way too easily. It's barely been 7 months.
And I think I might have underestimated the few toxic ones we got since they definitely contributed to everything fizzling out too quickly.

>>537538865
iirc, they annoounced a new streamily event on the 12th of Sept, and Tom will stream tomorrow

>>537539751
It's the younger "toxic" fujos who give up and switch fandoms easily, and honestly it's better that way since the older hag fujos actually make content and don't start retarded drama.

>>537539751
>>537540568

I also think hansry is a ship solely carried by being canon, it works for grounded TV and shows fandom but for one installment game and which, judged from the fanarts, attracted weebs its not really gonna last long.

>>537540568
You're right. But these few ones I'm talking about in particular managed to cause entirely too much structural damage.

I'm actually praying for Vavra to put something incredibly offensive in his next game, and hopefully that is KCD3, so they get filtered out right from the start.
>Time to ressurect the Erik raping Hans posts until we manifest them into the next game

>>537543001
Honestly nowadays i just want corrupted!henry driven to insanity raping hans but i want that too

I heard somewhere they already started on kcd3 so hipefully next game wont take like 7 years

Not if Hans ||still loves him too much to let him hang and keeps quiet about it||

>>537551239
My brother in christ, what the fuck are those spoiler tags?

>>537552241
wrong is what they are. Which notation works here again? I'm new, I just got here

>>537535414
It’s natural, I think. The game is now seven months old and Warhorse has now effectively announced that none of the characters people actually like (Hans, Rosa, Kat, Theresa, Devil’s Pack) are getting new game content in the foreseeable future. People will remain KCD fans and will probably play and enjoy the DLCs well enough, but the anticipatory excitement is gone because there’s nothing immediately exciting to anticipate. Players have been told they’re only getting a bunch of new NPCs they know nothing about, and that doesn’t exactly get the fandom juices flowing.

>>537553484

This. I'm not giving up on the game but it kinda killed my hype that we're not getting anything new for the main cast.

>>537553817
Thank you friend

Point still stands though. Even for a botched first-ever post

gross
>>537544381
>>537551239
>possessive insane Henry kidnapping and raping Hans who still loves him
KINOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>537559139
Is it even rape when he'd let him do it anyway?

>>537535414
>>537538865
>>537553639
For me it's this + I don't care to interact with the fandom anymore outside of here because of the fujos pushing crackships like Bartosh

>>537560168
Bartosh fans are pretty much nonexistent and they’re harmless. Isterik fans, on the other hand…

>>537564273
yes but bartoschfags will beat you to death if you try to point out that his romance is completely optional and noncanon even if you romance hans

>>537536416
I thought they always stay within their fandoms? Even when the spotlight diminishes?

>>537573802
Most of them don't. A large chunk gradually moves out after the show/game/anime is over and the hype dies down so they can hyperfixate on the next thing. A portion may stay and keep it alive for years. The length they keep it alive for and size of that group depends on a lot of things.

Same i only came here and to reddit
But i just cant vibe with the shippers, too many people are reducing henry into hans pet who wont say no and had no other desire while making hans way too capable so henry has like 0 purpose and it rubs me the wrong way

>>537609460
>too many people are reducing henry into hans pet who wont say no and had no other desire while making hans way too capable so henry has like 0 purpose and it rubs me the wrong way
That's what a lot of shippers tend to do when they solely consume fanart and other content that boil them down into these flanderized versions of themselves.

>>537609460
Intersting. I rarely see Hans being portrayed as overly capable. If anything, they straight up forget he can even use a sword and only make him an archer. I see a lot of him being written as if he's a neurotic teenage girl as well, but that's par for the course.

>>537612471
Funny how they always eventually get boiled down to the same boring stereotypes seen pretty much everywhere.

Hans and Rosa bonding is canon according to dev notes. Cute.

>>537621375
>I see a lot of him being written as if he's a neurotic teenage girl
Well duh, because it's canon? Vavra wrote him like that in 2nd game.

>>537622129
Not sure what you mean. By the end of KCD2 he's one of the most emotionally considerate and compassionate people in the series.

Anyone that is legitimately upset at not getting more fan service for romances that arguably already have unprecedented fan service is lost.

>>537622412
It's mostly the first part before he gets the rope. Bit even after that he's either a background character or self-centered teenager with claustrophobia and fragile ego. The only time he shows any compassion is when he stands up for you at the wedding brawl.

>>537553639
Bro this is not a visual novel to only care about shipping, the game has dozens of hours of actual gameplay and a dlc with nre features just came out

Id love for kcd3 to go darker
Kcd2 was perfect up to "the storm" with henry being tortured and having to escape surveillance
I also wish the betrayal was more high stake.. brabant is a clown compared to von bergow
And i wish i could delete samuel and his subplot

>>537631970
I would like KCD3 to be darker too but I also don't want to go full no stop into misery porn territory.
Brabant's betrayal could've been a lot worse, he was left alone with Hans at Maleshov and wormed his way into the group via Hans' trust. And he was working with Erik even before the Italian court so a lot more shit could've happened.

>>537647665
Not misery porn just tone wise....
For some reason i genuinely deleted samuel from my memory i just dont register the jewish quarter burning

>>537623193
t. didn’t pay attention for the entire game and doesn’t understand the medieval society

One of the main reasons why Hans wants his lands back is to provide for Henry and keep him safe for life. When they get attacked at the lake, he risks his life and then nearly dies to save Henry, which is something no normal noble would ever do and they are not supposed to do that, either. Both legally and according to the common wisdom of the time, one Hans is worth a thousand Henrys, yet Hans is probably the only noble in the kingdom who disagrees. Similarly, he’s probably the only noble in the country who sees burned houses of random peasants and people thinks they as the ruling class are failing their job and their people; for other nobles some dead peasants are not even worth thinking about.

For a 15th century high noble, his way of thinking isn’t just rare, it’s borderline heretical, fitting in neatly with the brewing social discontent of the lower classes of Bohemia at the time. For the entire series, KCD2 in particular, he’s an outsider in his own class, both in thought and in actions.

>>537621375
>Funny how they always eventually get boiled down to the same boring stereotypes seen pretty much everywhere.
Yeah, pretty funny and kind of sad. But that's what you get when you treat these characters like dolls you play with.

>you wake up from nap

Where do you think the game could be more immersive? I wish I had to sit down at a table and wait for my food

>>537710795
I can think of somethi-
>According to Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, Communications Director at Warhorse, there are no further romance-related additions planned. Not for Hans, not for Rosa, not for Katherine.
Nevermind

>>537710795
Yeah i wish sitting on a table gives you drinking and eating animations....
Mods like camping, cooking, alm giving, tavern chats are excellent. In kcd1 there are excellent disease and poison mods but not ported in kcd2

>>537710795
Same issue with KCD1, we have all these NPCs everywhere but you can’t talk to them. Wish we could at least ask about rumors or events that come up as you do stuff in the world like in Oblivion. The radiant conversations are already pretty ok between NPCs but it would be nice to participate in them. I guess they try to make up for it with the random events in towns where you can intervene. They already have the basic framework in hardcore mode where you can ask anyone for directions. If they opened it up to other dialogue maybe it could be modded like in oblivion with user made dialogue.

Wrow

Is reading about how better to kill people in a chapel sacrilege?

Plot twist for KCD3: Henry can't actually read he's just REALLY good at interpreting illustrations.

>>537719439
KCD2 already has the biggest game script in existence. I think adding even more NPC convos would make Warhorse devs kill themselves.

>>537621375
The funny thing is that he can not only use a sword, but he's also very good with it. Bro masterstrikes trough enemy hordes like a champ.

>>537750240
Nah it's not a problem for devs, it's a trivial job that interns could do, just hire more of them.
The problem is that all dialogs are voiced. They would need to record a lot of additional voice acting. At least the same amount as they did for random encounters, if not more.
It's not a problem for weeb games where most dialogs are accompanied by random coomer moans, but it is a big problem for a fully voiced game.

>>537621375
Good point, I never register those who girlified him bc i guess bc its just typical fandom stuff so the other side just feels more highlighted
Hans combat skill is never the issue its his position, his impulsivity and not thinking twice that puts him in.. disadvantage. Its what i meant to by being too capable, suddenly he gets it together. maybe its confirmation bias since i only like and remember a few things i read and see

>>537750380
Tbf combat animations are the same for every NPC outside of scripted moments. They could fall in battle, they could be insanely good, hans included

>>537751020
This is why warhorse and many other devs support AI
AI will take care of those cost ineffective menial tasks

And its what i dont get people want crazy games with crazy scopes but expect devs to not use AI. Many games arent as profitable as we expect from raw numbers

>>537753003
Well whatever, I don't mind random conversation being voiced by AI if it's well done, but what would you do about main character? He wanted Henry to talk to random people after all.

>>537752753
Nah, NPCs have various hidden stats. Hans' happen to be very high.

>>537754018
At that point AI will be so advanced, all it depends on is whether tom will allow them or not

>>537753003
I wouldn’t exactly say it’s a crazy scope if Oblivion could do it in 2006.the few voice lines it has for rumors with limited actors still made all the difference.

>>537751020
I hate the random coomer moans so fucking much. I’m playing SMTV right now (SMT3 was one of my favourite games back during the PS2 era), and the otherwise silent NPCs moaning loudly whenever I talk to them is driving me batty. Who the fuck told japs that this is somehow more immersive than simply keeping them non-voiced?

>>537758596
Oblivion is an old game, cheaper to make
The cost for a game has increased but not the audience

>>537762253
>>537751020
What coomer moans are you talking about....... ive played VN/JRPGs before and no clue what its about

>>537763884
>The cost for a game has increased but not the audience
Kek imagine thinking that

>>537763884
I mean he literally named the games
I'm playing p3 now and it's the same, though I can't say it's loud or distracting, just low effort.

>>537765606
Maybe not all games bc gamers do grow in other areas but oblivion sold for 9.5m, we dont know yet how will kcd2 sold for that long but its maybe over 4m now and really slows down after initial 2 weeks milestone for 2m. Imagine increasing cost but it doesnt sell more than 15m for its lifetime. AI will definitely be at play for future games if they want to keep highly detailed and lived in world but not wanting to gamble on it

>>537765768
Ok i just wanted example of that sound bc i looked it up and idk what coomer sounds you mean

>>537766690
>but oblivion sold for 9.5m
It didn’t. They announced 9 million PLAYERS, which is a number that tells us nothing because the game was free on GamePass. It did well obviously, but we have no idea how well in concrete numbers. It’s like Ubisoft and their “AC Shadows has crossed 5 million players!” and then you learn they’re giving the game away for free on their subscription service.

Xitter fujos are currently melting down over this excerpt from an interview with Tobi

>Question: Is Hans canonically romantically interested in Henry—regardless of whether the player chooses that path?
>Tobi: “Canonical” is always tricky. In the game, Henry is who he is, unless you decide otherwise. Canonically, they’re not together. But if you want that, it can happen— because it’s a role-playing game. That’s totally fine, and we added the option because already in the first game there was lots of fanfiction about it. Our creative director thought, “Why not? It’s fun.” So yes, it’s possible if you want it. You’re responsible for the choices you make.

Am I wrong in thinking that he meant to explain "quantum canon" i.e. player choices are not actually canon and wording it poorly or not?

>>537796227
No matter what he says, unless he states that Hans is canonically the main love interest, fujos will throw a fit.

>>537796227
The official Warhorse stance since day 1 has been that everything is up to the player choice. Prokop Jirsa even made sure to deny Valta’s (composer guy) claim that Henry evolves into a hero — even though evil Henry is clearly retarded non-canon shit — because muh player choice. So Henry being a good heroic figure is officially not canon, even though it blatantly is.

>>537796227
>>537798493
Some will throw a fit over anything at this point.

A couple days ago they were throwing a fit over people being "mysoginistic" and "putting down women" for saying the Hans romance is better due to him actually caring about Henry and not pump 'n dumping him.

Though, some of us are actually only half mentally insane, anon.

>>537796227
I can’t help but notice that he didn’t actually answer the question of whether Hans is in love with Henry regardless of whether he’s romanced or not.

>>537799739
>saying the Hans romance is better due to him actually caring about Henry and not pump 'n dumping him
They ain’t wrong about that.

>>537799932
Huh. You're right. So he politik-ed himself out of answering the question by accidently walking into a mine. Interesting.

>>537800123
>saying the Hans romance is better due to him actually caring about Henry and not pump 'n dumping him

Whoever said that is objectively completely correct. Some fujos argued against it because...reasons?

>>537801936
Yeah, it’s a classic PR/politician trick: If you’re asked a question you can’t answer, answer a different question nobody asked. Only he fumbled the wording and has a new mess on his plate.

>>537796227
these people would never have survived the voltron and captain america incidents from last thread

>>537796227
I'm melting down.

>>537796227
player choices wouldnt always necessarily be canon if you have a bunch of different choices.

How the fuck has no one modded gold colored spurs?

>>537796227
Its a dumb question im a hansry fujo and even then i could tell theresa was meant to be his canonical romance. Kcd2 is just henry being terrible at flings and punished for it thats why none of it worked. Hes just saying canonically henry could have cheated with hans if players want it. Their feelings might be mutual and true but they arent gonna be together i thoight we all agreed it was gonna be like that for first two months but suddenly fujos are delulu

Dead general dead game go woke go broke

>>537799932
Cuz it depends in what the players want so its def not canon but fujos dont want that

>>537850394
Its funny im saying this but i agree
Completely retarded the news is just about hans but i figure 4channers are mostly weebs and weebs except fujos dont care about this game

>>537850394
Gen died because no new Hans content. Why bother getting hype over random new npcs when we're never seeing /ourboy/ ever again.

That interview doesnt even have as many views if not for a big artist making a big deal out of it... surprised tobi cared that much about whatever discord that is, the interview even came in a word doc like? Im calling sus

>>537854594
>You know all those characters we just spent a whole game making you attached to? You ain't seeing them again even though they're hanging out right there in the same building with you. Now fuck off and enjoy these literally whos in a story that doesn't even fit in the main storyline.
I wonder whose bright idea was this. WH is just leaving the money on the table for no reason. More screentime for major story characters was something the entire player base seemed to want.

>>537856257
It's legit. The background for this is that one fujo works in a company who were to attend a kcd panel at gamescon. They asked her to provide questions and she sourced them from the community. That same fujo drops upwards of 20 twitch subs every time Tom or Luke stream and is a pretty reasonable fujo overall.

>>537847842
Eh. You can deny that anything happened with Theresa in the prologue. The romance with Hans takes 2-3 "I care about you's" to trigger and suddenly Hans will die of grief and sorrow if Henry doesn't make it. It's not unreasonable to assume that Hans has feelings regardless of what Henry says and the right words just make him act on it. What can happen ofter that is another matter entirely.

I suppose it does depend on just how quantum is WH's idea of quantum canon.

False alert anons. Fujos were just taking a break. One of the fanzines got 50 orders within 2 hours. That's a minimum of 1.5k USD spent, likely to be more due to pricing tiers. Fujo money is real

Genuine question
Why does it matter if hansry is not canon, theyre still very close friend in canon. Its not like kcd3 wont make them interact at all and hans is popular enough with dudebros to ensure his next appearance... plenty of ships arent canon but still get tons of content.

Or is it upsetting bc it means chuds will be happy about it? Or am i just too old and kids these days really ship bc its guaranteed to be canon?

>>537915731
Hansry causes the most butthurt, so that automatically makes it canon.

Do you think Katherine takes it up the ass?

>>537915731
Cause it feels bad when the devs retcon or disregard the decisions they allowed you to make in a previous game. That's what killed the Dragon Age franchise for me. Granted, I'm sure that this is not what WH will be doing at all.

I don't need it to be hard/immutable/default canon, I just need the option to have it acknowledged that this major player decision happened in MY playthrough, where applicable*. Naturally, I think it goes without saying that it applies to the Theresa, Rosa or Katherine choices as well.

*where applicable = when/if that specific detail may become relevant in a potential KCD3.

>>537916028
Also because of this.

>>537918153
Yes

>>537918153
not voluntarily

It occurs to me, given Luke and Tom were both at Warhorse, we're definitely getting more interactions with Hans just not romantic ones right? I don't get the "outrage". Gays and Fujos get thrown the biggest bone ever, get told for months "We're glad you liked it but that was the only bone you're getting. It's not a Hansry thing either, none of the other ships are getting anything either." And now there's an element of the fanbase that is not only somehow surprised, but feels betrayed even? Am I missing something?

>>537918153
Kat is into butt stuff of all kinds. "Washing Cumans' asses" was a euphemism.

>>537918812
They don't even record as a group outside of cutscenes, you're reading into nothing

>>537918812
They'll probably do the same thing they did at the start of 2 where you can have a few dialogue options to make what you did canon. What I would do as Warhorse I'd make it so that if you choose the Hansry scenario Hans would reply along the lines of: "It was a nice thing, but remember I'm getting married now" and just have it be a bromance again from then on.

>>537918153
>Henry
"Do you take it up the rear?"

>Katherine
"Do whatever you want honey"
>Rosa
"No, how dare you ask a lady that"
>Theresa
"It's the safest way to not get pregnant, until we're married"
>Hans
"You're the one receiving remember"

5 days 'til DLC...
Also conveniently just reached Kuttenberg in my new KCD2 playthrough. Gonna get to finish the previous DLC in time, and probably rescue Hans before I get Henry to start relaxing with smithing.

>>537916028
Heterohenry is gonna be canon trust

>>537919589
>They don't even record as a group outside of cutscenes
I know that but what would Hans be recording for the DLC if not interactions with Henry?
>>537919678
That would be cool but I wouldn't be bothered if they didn't. It's not like I play these for the romances.
>>537922349
Nice I'm around the same spot trying to time it similarly. I might finish the main story in time for the DLC though depending on how much I play this week. I'm going to watch foosball on Sunday so I won't play much then.

Smithing is peak comfy and anyone who disagrees is a turbo pleb.

>>537923458
Who says they were recording lines at all? Maybe Luke was just working as a receptionist that day

>>537923836
Any time a quest even hints at Henry needing to smith something I imagine him interrupting the npc before they can even finish "I'll grab my apron!". Alchemy is very comfy also. What are your favorite places to smith? I'd have to say Radovan's in Trosky and that one next to the river in Kuttenberg (although I'm sure I'll replace that with my own smith when the DLC drops).

I don't think it's been posted here yet but they released a little teaser for the customization options a couple days ago btw.

>>537918181
you could say thats what tobi means when hansry is not canon.... bc naturally everything involving players decision would be canon. I just dont understand why fujos take a huge issue with it. Clearly they want it to be the only canon. Its why I asked the question

>>537923458
>play for no romance
Finally someone sane

>>537918812
They just want controversy to pretend their fandom is controversial and problematic so they can tell their friends
Trust me now fandom full of drama is like a badge of honor to these people

>>537924467
I liked the smithy is Trosky castle and the one near the swordsman guild in Kuttenberg

Oh so apparenrly there mad bc tobi was one of the people hesitant putting hansry in game.... with 0 evidence mind you but it makes sense now why crazy fujos are outraged. Someone should have said this so this discussion woukd have stopped hours ago but at least this is the most active this gen has been

wtf.... how long has this been a thing? I've always typed the spoiler tags.

>>537918812
>Luke Dale: I'm not in any of the DLCs unfortunately.
Nobody believed him because he lied about not being in the sequel but... ah well.
> It's not a Hansry thing either, none of the other ships are getting anything either.
From what I've seen everyone was a bit dissapointed for not getting more romance interactions for all 3, fujos are just the loudest about it.

>>537919678
Ok, THAT would piss the most people off, not even just the fujos. It doesn't make sense for how the romance played out at all. Hans would have to go from "I'll risk everything to kiss you and will literally die if something happens to you" to "it was a nice thing but I'm gonna do a 180 on my character to sudddenly be faithful to wife I was sold off to".

>>537923458
Luke was recording anything? I thoughy he officially moved to Prague because they often shoot movies and shows there?

>>537927501
>everyone was a bit dissapointed
I'm not and I'm a Theresafag who already got my preferred ship swept to the side lol. I don't play these as a visual novel or a romance sim. They're just a nice added bonus. I feel like the vast majority of people still really passionate about this game online happen to be enthusiasts of one of the ships, mostly Hansry, hence why it seems like so many people are bothered. I guarantee like 3/4 players don't really give a shit and are just happy to have more Henry adventures and medieval role play opportunities.
As far as Luke recording anything who knows. I know he was at Warhorse but that could have just been to make a few videos with Tom while he was doing his DLC work because Luke just happens to live in Prague now. I mean obviously Luke didn't move just to work on DLC but the fact remains he was in the building.

>>537926045
He has said that he was against it at first but Vavra pushed for it. Multiple times actually. Fujos were upset because in addition to that, he worded the answer to a certain interview question weirdly and someone with a following interpreted in bad faith.

>>537924560
I hope that what he means is that playthrough-specific canon is not "full canon" and people misunderstood.
> Clearly they want it to be the only canon.
I don't claim to know how these people's minds function. I consider myself only half mentally insane fujo.

Ngl henry and kat seem to have a potential
>henry seem to be initially attracted to her
>helping her solve a case
>cringe suggestive jokes at bathtub
>she lost loved ones in her past
>henry needs a mommy type
A bit disappointed the game kinda forgot about it
But i also like milf so maybe thats why

>>537928813
The shocking thing is vavra is the based one

>>537928173
Ok fair, everyone but the Theresafags and the normal people were a tiny bit dissapointed. Although most people that I've seen went "aww man... bummer. Oh well, still gonna play and like it".

>but the fact remains he was in the building.
Wait, when was that? Clearly I don't stalk don't them enough if I missed that.

Dont forget to post your build when dlc drops

>>537926045
Nah, Tobi himself said in one of the early streams that he was against hansry at first because he was afraid of the risk, but Vavra overruled him. Given that he’s supposed to be the one ensuring the line always goes up, it’s kinda understandable.

>>537930116
>Wait, when was that? Clearly I don't stalk don't them enough if I missed that.
I could have sworn I saw them together recently at WH hq but I can't seem to find anything. Maybe I imagined it.

>>537927501
>Hans would have to go from "I'll risk everything to kiss you and will literally die if something happens to you" to "it was a nice thing but I'm gonna do a 180 on my character to sudddenly be faithful to wife I was sold off to".
That's called growing up and realizing that as a nobleman you have a bigger role to play in this world.

>>537850394
If Kuttenberg gave you the same sort of choices that Trotsky gave you the game wouldn't be woke
You can be completely woke in Trotsky, or you can murder the Cumans and hang the millers and watch the gypsy girl get torn apart by wolves
You don't get a choice in Kuttenberg, you MUST help the Jews, you MUST help the black man
This game is a pure 10/10 if you stop playing it after killing Istvan Toth and never go to Kuttenberg

>>537930825
nta, but probably just there for Tom's final recordings

>>537930879
Yeah and it's kind of in line with what Hans' entire arc is in KCD2. Doesn't mean Henry won't be in his life going forward either.

>>537931226
If they're ending the series here they really should have given us an ending where Henry gets knighted and/or legitimized

>>537931649
Won't even happen, pure fanfiction
Then again I could've said that about the gay sex, yet here we are

>>537931649
I like Henry's personal journey better if he realizes that doesn't matter to him anymore. His personal goals have shifted somewhat.
>>537931808
Gay sex was probably a lot more common than the bastards of minor nobles being legitimized.

>>537931201
>you MUST help the Jews, you MUST help the black man
The reason you get railroaded into helping the jews is because they're the main spy ring for Wenceslas' supporters and the reason you're helping Musa is because the camp commander tells you to.

>>537931201
>>537932067
>Saving innocents is woke and Henry would never do that unless woke writers forced him to.

>>537931993
>than the bastards of minor nobles being legitimized.
It's not like he's still only a blacksmith. He has shown that he can fight as someone would expect of a nobleman and since in-game Radzig has no other children it wouldn't too far fetched.

>>537931808
The sort of things Henry does even in KCD1 would have historically given him a knighthood
I understand why they didn't, it's ahistorical in the sense that Henry wasn't a real person but Radzig Kobyla WAS a real person so giving a legitimized son to Radzig Kobyla muddles the actual IRL history and makes adding new content to the KCD story more difficult
But if they're ending it here anyway, then there's no reason they can't give us a way to make Henry a legitimate Kobyla. It's not like we're ever going to meet one of his actual children

>>537931993
The journal is fine but my point is by the end of KCD2 Henry is a champion fighter, he's recused nobles several times, he's dueled knights and assaulted castles and he's a noble bastard anyway, by all measures he would have been knighted IRL
And at that point Radzig doesn't have an heir, and Henry is the best friend (roomates even!) with Hans, so it makes a lot of sense politically to legitimize him especially after all he's done

>>537932686
the fuck you (you)ing me for? I agree with you that there is noting woke about it and is just perfectly fine storytelling

What would Henrys Heraldry be if he was knighted?

>>537932067
>>537932686
The point is you have no choice
You can CHOOSE to be just as woke in Trotsky, or you can CHOOSE to be an evil chudcel who hates minorities
The game and story gives you a CHOICE to save people or not save them, and this is an RPG, your choices should matter

>>537926587
At least 10 years now.

>>537933164
Either a rift on kobyla heraldry or a rift on skalitz heraldry probably
Maybe it would have a big H added to it like the swords he forges

>>537933216
Than you should also be complaining you're forced to help Ziska without a choice. Sometimes railroading is needed to move the story forward. Also in Kuttenberg there are plenty of nice/evil/woke/chud choises with the sword guild, thieves guild, bathhouse etc...

>>537932873
I know just keeping the conversation strung together.
>>537933216
I mean some things have to be canon or you don't have a story. It isn't like saving the Jews or Musa is out of character. Also you literally get to trade your Jew almost brother's life for silver at the end of the game if you so choose.

>>537933164
Crossed swords

>>537932718
>>537932828
Henry's accomplishments don't matter and are ultimately pretty regional in scope. Noble bastard is still a commoner. Even if Radzig and Hanush were on board they're both pretty poor and don't have much influence. To say nothing of the fact Henry isn't getting legitimized period until Wenceslas is freed. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer it would be neat to see it happen but it's not as simple as Dadzig signing a decree and everyone recognizing Henry. One of the main themes of the game is Henry and Hans' disillusionment with nobility as a whole. Remember, Zizka and Devil are both nobles and we're often left to wonder if they're really any better than the people we're fighting.

>>537932828
It’s ahistorical because HRE and Bohemia in particular just really hated bastards at that point, especially low-born bastards. Even illegitimate noble children couldn’t inherit shit in late Bohemia; a son of a peasant woman was lucky if he got the luxury of being allowed to move to a different town.
As this guy >>537931993 said, gay sex was far more common because it’s just something you could do on the down low. Henry being made a noble and Radzig’s heir, on the other hand, is the equivalent of Hans and Henry getting a fully legal gay wedding.

>>537924560
It should be canon and we know it. They know it. We all know hansry is canon.

>>537931323
Hans’ arc is also realising that his efforts to gain Hanush’s trust are meaningless, he’s just being jerked around, and he really fucking hates his life and his fellow nobles.

>>537934940
>To say nothing of the fact Henry isn't getting legitimized period until Wenceslas is freed.
The fuck are you talking about? Nobles didn't need the kings blessing to legitimize a bastard.

>>537934940
>but it's not as simple as Dadzig signing a decree
Except that that's literally all it takes.

>>537935562
>>537936159
NTA, but not in the 15th century HRE, anon.

>>537937645
cheers, TIL

>>537930879
His bigger role to play in the world as far as sex is concerned is to sire a child, preferably legitimate, preferably male. He can have do whatever he want after, as long as he doesn't produce witnesses or bastards. He's not the first nor the last noble to do so.

>>537931323
>Yeah and it's kind of in line with what Hans' entire arc is in KCD2
Is it? Hans' "growing up" and learning to be a better person, and shaking off his idealized view of the world is intrinsically tied to Henry and mostly happens because of him. The whole "fortune favours the brave" spiel is often revolving around Henry as well. Especially in the context of the romance scene.It would be contrary to suddenly give up on that because he has a wife.

Keep in mind nobody is expecting that they'd have it easy or anything but "It was nice bro, but I got a wife", would be extremely out of character. If they're not gonna go for the secret relationship or occasinal clandestine tryst, the least that I expect is one last passionate sorrowful fuck and them being mopey about having to give eachother up throughout the game.

>>537937645
That would be such a minor thing to disregard in comparison to all the other ahistorical things they did.

>>537938424
>His bigger role to play in the world as far as sex is concerned is to sire a child
His marriage is also political, so he has an alliance to uphold.

>>537938887
Point still stands. As long as nobody catches him, it's fine. Hans, even post KCD2 doesn''t strike me as responsible enough to not go for it. In fact it's the opposite.

Besides, someone finding out and blackmailing him into fighting against the Hussites (IF KCD3 is to cover that period) is absolute kino.

>>537937645
That doesn't sound like even Wenceslaus can actually do it since he's not Holy Roman Emperor anymore at this point

>>537937645
Radzig was big mates with Wenceslas, so I doubt he's have trouble getting him to agree with the legitimisation.

>>537937645
>with some even having abilities and virile qualities attributed to
them in the medieval imagination
Do we still have medieval imagination?

threadly reminder

People actually romanced Katherine? Over Rosa? I just met Rosa so don't spoil me but there's no chance people would prefer a hag over a cute tomboy, right?

>>537933164
Hammer and Sword probably?

>>537944872
You don't need to pick one

>>537933164
>>537933505
Wouldn't he just adopt Radzig's heraldry? He's being allowed into an existing line not creating his own right?

>>537944872
You can do the full romance with both of them at once. The only mutually exclusive romances are Hans and Katherine.

>>537945667
>>537945864
Sorry, I'm a monochad. However, I imagine Henry would never be able to marry Rosa being of different social statuses. I hope it doesn't end in sex with nothing afterwards...

>>537946194
Yeah haha that would suck

>>537934070
Oh I do actually dislike that too, in fact I dislike most of the Kuttenberg plot
I actually don't really like Ziska or his band

>>537934112
It's ooc for the worst version of Henry you can play in Trotsky

Beautiful

>>537938689
this. real Radzig was married and had other kids (Hanush too), but kcd Radzig doesn't seem concerned at all about his lack of heir.

dlc achievements being added as we speak

Getting a quick prayer in with the squad.

Warhorse will forget to add a fast travel point to Henry's forge and we'll have to wait at least a week for one. (I have the fast travel anywhere mod, but I'm still calling this.)

Update size so big its more effective to just redownload the whole game trust

>>537940169
The text says it would often be delegated to some high imperial representative like the Count Palatine. Bohemia didn’t have those because it was a sovereign kingdom within the empire, so this would most likely be Wenceslas’s job with the emperor’s final approval. But as a Czech who reads about the late Middle Ages a lot, I don’t recall a single case of this ever happening here after the beginning of the 13th century. As the church grew more powerful and started to emphasise the holiness of marriage, the social position of bastards plummeted.

>>537975980
Any changes to the level means downloading it again, doesn't matter how small the change is

>>537944872
Hansry deserves the credit it gets, but for a far less developed romance, Rosa and Henry are still pretty cute together. It's a neat dynamic how Rosa isn't used to flirting with men as smart as Henry, while Henry isn't used to flirting with women as noble as Rosa lol.

>>537973554
Dear God, please forgive me for the bandits who's heads I'm going to cave in with my mace.

>>537973249
My predictions

Threadly resurrect from page 10

Okay let me ask
>do you think warhorse will stop putting hansry after they see how the fandom is batshit insane and wont stop until tobi or vavra said hansry is canon and they put 5 hours say gex?
Discuss.

I started to think they didnt realize how militant fujos could be

>>538016003
I hope they completely can Hansry in 3, because I bet 80% of the fujos didn't even buy the game

>>538016003
I hope they add a stinky neet love interest so fujos can self insert. Their heads will explode when they have to choose between their self-inserts or Hans. Divide and conquer.

>>537901102
Considering that Theresa romance was a DLC, chances are Henry will canonically stay single.
Which would make sense, considering he's not a real figure and doesn't need to leave any descendants.

>>538016003
The fujo in me wants them to (correctly) assume that these are ~5-10 retards on Xitter throwing a hissy fit, disregard them, and deliver us another standard-defining absolute kino.

But if they didn't... the nuclear fallout that would ensue would be really fucking funny. I'd hate it... but it'd be funny.

>>538018054
>Considering that Theresa romance was a DLC
Pretty sure that was in the base game

>>538018553
I definitely remember that the dog was part of the DLC, but I think all interactions with Theresa at the mill were as well.

>>538018756
Mutt is DLC indeed. Boning Theresa isn't. There was even an achievement for it.

I guess there should've been some kind of romance option after all because when I was playing the base game, I remember there was an option to ask her for a date. She always declined and said it was either too late / too early, even if I checked every hour.
Maybe it was bugged, idk. So I don't remember anything about the romance in the base game because it never worked for me until I bought the DLC. But I definitely remember there were no options for sewing, giving her presents, etc.

>>538018054
I mean one of the first dialogue choices in 2 is are you dating Theresa. If there is a 3 I'd imagine Hans and Henry's relationship being set as sexual or friendship would be resolved similarly

>>538016003
I think they're making a different game

>>538018054
They should just go all out and have Henry die at the end of 3 where he sacrifices himself to save Hans and have an epilogue playing as Hans.

>>538018054
Theresa's romance is not DLC, Theresa's backstory is.
Also kind of a wierd take, considering Mutt was actually DLC and 2 made him super canon.

>>538021216
Mutt was still part of the story early on and kept running around the mill without DLC, you just couldn't take him with you

>>538021425
True, but Mutt for some reason following Henry into Trosky or having a really big bond with Henry at all wouldn't have been a prospect at all without the DLC.

Mutt was meant to be basegame but they ran out of time wasn't he?

>>538016003
I'm used to shipping things that are noncanon and hated by fandoms so I wouldn't really care one way or the other. Hansry is great though so it would be a shame, but on the other hand the deranged drama loving fujos being taken down a peg would be funny.

>>538022192
many such cases these days...

>>538021216
I saw someone say that the repeatable dates after completing her romance was part of the DLC but I'm too lazy to check if that's actually true

>>538022569
I think so, yeah. If I remember right, in the base game you got up to the tavern date, then you play hide and seek and have sex and the romance ends with Theresa saying Henry isn't the kind to settle down so she doesn't expect this to last. The DLC added more dates you can repeat.

>>538021216
>>538022569
Yeah its true apparently, the courtship quest has always been there but the extra stuff was from dlc but patched to base game as well
So theres actually a possibility but it will need post game content

>>538018054
So youre saying the absence of actual romance mechanic and radio silence about any of the kcd2 romance in kcd2 is deliberate

My biggest gripe with kcd2 story is that we lost the silver
Allat and we didnt get the silver

>>538026861
The idea the heavily depleted Prague Militia that was without anyone really in command by that point for no apparent reason deciding to send its plunder off presumably under guard of about 5 men while the rest of them stayed on another day or 2 to finish the job simply because Henry took a few extra hours is a pretty retarded consequence all things considered.

>>538026861
Someone went back to save the jew

>>538027678
Henry would always save his brother. Not saving Sam is retarded and non-canon.

>>538027247
My only possible explanation is that by the time they took the silver, they realized just how close they were to just winning the whole battle and that there were enough nobles in that castle to earn another treasure worth in ransoms, plus demanding money for the return of the castle itself.

Because I really doubt as well that the Prague Militia would keep fighting the battle just because after they already got what they were there for.

>>538028090
I agree and I even like him I just thought it was funny to say it like that

>>538028090
letting Sam join that mission was even more retarded even if canon
They should've sent fucking Kubyenka or literally anyone else with combat experience, preferably stealth too.

>>538032017
To be fair Sam is meant to be a cut throat criminal gang leader. In theory he's perfect for the job. He just happened to go absolute retard and nearly doom about 50 people in the moment.

>>538027247
According to the story Henry took few extra days because he dragged Sam all the way to Jobst while nursing him instead of leaving him at a nearest tavern or herbalist or midwife

>>538032207
>Sam is meant to be a cut throat criminal gang leader
That's antisemitic

>>538032746
A high herbalist/alchemist henry would've healed him on the road without losing a second of time

>>538032207
Doing stupid shit because muh revenge clearly runs in the family.

>>538032017
Did Kubyenka want to though?
Also I wouldn't put it past Kubyenka to flip out even harder than Sam looking for Bravant, it was HIS gang member that he killed, after all, and also the one that made personally him faceplant at full horse speed, even if he came out ok out of that one.

>>538038923
Pretty sure he didn’t want to go, yeah. The only ones who volunteered were Sam, Henry and Hans.

Sigismund did nothing wrong

>>538050274
He's ginger

>>538055886
That just makes him sexy

>Just found out about the Kuttenberg cat woman.
This is adorable.

>>538059907
she burned some guy and his dog alive anon.

>>538061236
...oh. I guess I didn't find that part out.

>>538061514
There's kind of a shape on the map behind her hut if you explore it first and look at the corpses you can ask her about it. Turns out you shouldn't fuck with her cats.

>>538061236
Dangerously based

>>538064628
The amount of times I've seen someone go
>Wait, Sigismund is nice actually!!!
over just that one single interaction is equal parts amusing and worrying. Is it REALLY that easy to win over someone and make them forget that you fucking razed their town to the ground and slaughtered their entire family and most of their neighbors? Is it really to make them forget that you've been getting built up as a genuine threat that has been wrecking havoc across the country?

I guess gap moe is just the most powerful political force on earth.

bump

>>538059907
>>538061236
>>538061514
There's a burned down cottage near her place you have to interact with, then if you pass a skill check with her she'll tell you about what happened. The full story is that her neighbor abused his dog which made it violent and mean, and it then started to attack and kill her cats and kittens. When she asked the neighbor to control it he said lol no. So she then burned down the cottage with the man and the dog inside it. She does acknowledge that the dog wasn't really at fault because it was abused and beaten. She did nothing wrong tbqh desu.

>>537946461
I just got to the scene... Fuck.

>>538065463
>Is it REALLY that easy to win over someone and make them forget that you fucking razed their town to the ground and slaughtered their entire family and most of their neighbors?
As Henry, no. That's why I only make RP choices that Henry would make. Out of character? Yeah, at that point in time Sigismund has no idea who you are, you're literally a nobody in his eyes. Finding out that he could be nice to some random guy is akin to finding out some supposedly ruthless CEO is actually not a bad guy who might be nice to work for.

>>538079540
>Look man, all I'm saying is, Sigismund might be a brutal tyrant opportunist that tried to take over his brothers lands through fire and blood, who razes towns to the ground unprovoked, brings armies of bloodthirsty foreign mercenaries to rampage across the fields and butcher any bystanders, who has sent spies and assassins like Istvan and Erik all over the lands to undermine local authorities so he could then take over each individual region in bloody coups, and who has devastated the countryside to feed his army that's meant to take over his brother's lands even as his own home kingdom rises in revolt...
>...but, like, he said something halfway nice one time to some random who, so it's fine, he's actually a good dude! Wouldn't mind working for him, my conscience shuts down any time someone wishes me a good day anyway.

>>538079163
lol in fairness what she tells you isn't all that different than what Theresa says and everyone loves her (myself included).

>>538080653
It's what everyone says, honestly.
>Theresa: I like you Henry, but we both know this is just a fling, I need stability and you're always out there getting shit done.
>Rosa: I like you Henry, but we both know this is just a fling, I am a noble and my father is obviously planning to marry me off.
>Katherine: I like you Henry, but we both know this is just a fling, I am too broken and too old for you and I still miss my family.
>Hans: I like you Henry, but we both know society would WRECK our shit if we ever dared display our love in public, plus I'm getting married off.

>>538081402
>>Hans: I like you Henry, but we both know society would WRECK our shit if we ever dared display our love in public, plus I'm getting married off.
he never says this
10/10 bait for making me respond

>>538081751
>he never says this
Which is why I didn't write the "but we both know it's just a fling" part. Hans doesn't want to break it off but it's obvious their romance isn't well seen and that he's getting married off, no matter how much he doesn't want to.

Theresabros...
Really though, why does it filter so many people? I didn't think it was that bad except for the stealth section where you look for materials to heal Sam.

>>538080338
Like I said, as Henry, I would never think that nor would I make RP decisions based off that.
But what exactly is the issue if none of that has directly effected you? He's ruthless to his enemies and decent enough to people who work for him. The people yearn for a benevolent dictator, Sigismund doesn't fit that exactly but there are enough parallels to see why some people would like him.

>>538082223
I like stealth so even that part was fun to me. Maybe it's a little too slice of life for some people? Before the raid that is. That's some of my favorite stuff in these games though. Just mundane immersive village shit.

This hurts.

>>538082389
If you were talking from an ingame standpoint about other characters that got to know Sigismund not knowing any of that or only having heard of it second hand, I'd agree with your point. But we're talking fellow players of KCD that supposedly have seen what you or I or Henry have but that still somehow see Sigismund do a single offhanded comment that's not mustache-twirling evil and immediately write off everything else he's done. It kinda crosses from yearning for a benevolent dictator into full on begging to get yourself and your whole family violently murdered so long as the murderer wipes his feet on the mat and wishes you a nice evening before breaking into your house knife in hand.

>>538082565
>So... you too, huh?
>Yeah, me too. Fucking arranged marriages. Fucking nobility.
>Sigh... Being noble has many advantages, obviously, but not being able to choose our own spouses really is a big prize to pay. How I wish I could marry Henry instead...
>Yeah, me too.
>What?
>What?

>>538082748
People are attracted to powerful men, even if they are capable of great evil. Those human parts that show you "oh this guy isn't all that bad" is usually how evil men get into power in the first place. Even Hitler had tons of public support before he was voted into being Chancellor. People are willing to put up with a lot of shit as long as someone else is the target.

>>538082934
I wonder how a menage a trois would work out... Would Hans care if Rosa had a child with Henry, assuming he wanted to have children until he had a male heir.

>>538085860
He would be intensely jealous

>>538085981
Is Hans the third wheel or is Henry?

First playthrough, did I fuck up by not getting Mutt? Does he add anything to the story?

>>538087604
He's very helpful, but he's not vital to the story, and the one time he factors in it's not for a good reason, though you'd have to be pretty soulless to allow it. You still should get him just because he's goodest boy and the scene of Henry finding him is genuinely moving.

Also if you ever go stealing houses, remember to set him to wait somewhere apart, because he attracts guards if you leave him out in the street at night.

>>538087604
>>538087934
As the anon said he's very useful especially early because he can help you taking on multiple enemies by distracting one of them. There are a handful of opportunities where he can make quests easier with his tracking skills and those are always neat. Also without spoiling anything you'll probably want to send him home before the last story segment. There's also a perk pretty early on in houndmaster that gives you a charisma boost with Mutt around and that's also useful early when you're still too poor for nice clothes.

>>538087604
There will be unique interactuin later in game involving him and will have different emotional weight if its your own dog but hes not necessary
In first game i find him more useful esp to seek unique landmark/interesting spot

>>538086257
The third wheel would be Rosa. Seriously though, this is probably the best threesome option we have in the series. If Hans could marry Rosa, they could have a happy little ménage a trois and fulfill their respective obligations at the same time.

>>538081897
NTA, but Hans doesn’t just “like” Henry, he loves him so much he’d gladly die for him (and die without him). He also openly says they should hole up in their sex den for as long as they can and he’s planning how to maintain their relationship in the future.
Unlike the other LIs he’s very locked in, as kids these days say.

Brabant is really interesting and his actor is great. He's the most loathsome character in the game outside of Toth but he's always giving 100% effort and all his scenes are memorable. An almost Jobstian performance.

Why wasn't I born Czech

>>538125076
Shocking amount of women

>>538133446
And this is why you pander to the gays and the gals people.

Nah, but this is essentially a mini kcd themed ren faire. Of course there's gonna be a ton of women

I’ve been reading the academic book In the Middle of Europe: Czech Lands in Late Medieval Times, and came across a beautifully succinct summation why it’s often so difficult to talk about the 15th century Bohemia. In many ways that period basically doesn’t make sense within our standard understanding of the Middle Ages and it’s also why the ideas in KCD feel “too modern” even though they were genuinely there at the time.
>In my lectures at the Collège de France more than 30 years ago, I referred to the Hussite Revolution as an anomaly in European history. Although the term has since entered the vocabulary of historical disciplines, my intention back then was only to highlight the premature nature of the Czech reform movement. On the religious level, Hussitism was a reformation before the Reformation; on the social level, it was part of a revolutionary cycle that had already taken on a classic form in Bohemia before the French Revolution; and on the national level, rather than a spontaneous unrest, it represented an expression of a conscious, deliberate nationalist sentiment.

Tom McKay isn't even at this event but he's getting sexually harassed, it must be hard being a voice actor

>>538145421
I hope he keeps his hands off his fanbase, at least until KCD3 ends.

>>538145493
The worst part is that it wasn't (directly) by the fans

>>538145421
What'd they do?

>>538145975
Read a question about Henry's foot size, then >>538145493
indirectly said Tom probably has a big cock because he has big feet

>>538146259
Pffft ahaha. A certain subset of the fans are gonna have a field day with this.

Typical Slav humour, though.

>>538146829
I like these guys, in my country were only allowed to joke about our own genitals at work

>>538146994
well, I can't it's like that in every workplace, in every Slavic country but the workplace culture is generally a lot more chill.

They brought those hansry cosplayers on stage lmao

>>538145421
>>538146259
Not defending the comment but Tom has done fully nude scenes in movies with his dick visible, still weird to say unprompted though

God ill shoot a load if henry has a bigger shoe size than hans

>>538119372
Hes funny to me.... at least he can act

>>538157178
Nobody thought to ask about Hans unfortunately

>>538157429
Small feet confirmed

>>538157429
inb4 a fujo calculates the approximate shoe size difference via counting pixels from con photos. I've seen them trying to pinpoint Logan Hillier's height like that before.

>>538161317
How tall did they conclude?

>>538161775
5'7

>>538162227
That's a good height

>>538153783
Wasn’t watching the stream, was it that married couple they often invite to the events?

Meanwhile, on the parking lot.

Just did the ossuary quest, I am thoroughly spooked.

>>538168628
Just stack those bones, Henry.

>>538166758
It's the female Hans and ftm Henry cosplayers, I think they're married?

>>538170247
If it’s pic related then yeah.

>>538170569
this could be me and anon...

idk but I'm not complaining

Is that you?

They get to see a new trailer but everything's hidden on stream
It's not fair I should've been born Czech

man... such a cool event and I had to be stuck at work a couple thousand km over. I hope they make it an annual thing so I can go next time

Me too, I was stuck at home ten thousand kilometers away not understanding Czech
Next year I'll be ready

God damn it.

Damn. Mesmerizing.

>Trying to actually use screenshot mode to remove the UI makes the Nighthawk effect go away.
They're making it easier to remove the UI in the new photo mode right? You might have better luck in a few days.

>>538187789
Yeah, I hope so.

>>538187221
You might be onto something. I've yet to see a picture of him without them showing.

>>538188138
He shows pits and feet on stream too, he knows what he's doing

>>538188054
Ok, holy shit. These are amazing.

>>538189391
Thanks!

>>538187382
>>538187789
If you use the free camera tool from patreon/kemono you can hide the UI briefly for screenshots without going into photo mode

Janosh is a pretty cool guy, didn't expect him to be this useful.

>>538203385
He feels like the most well adjusted member of the Devil's band all things considered. He doesn't seem to have the one crippling vice or trauma like everyone else does. He's just having fun and cooking.

>>538187382
That's the place where some peasant is being held captive that knows where to find the special rock, right?

>>538204847
Yes.

>>538187382
>>538204847
There's a hidden chest in that ruined building btw you can access by walking along the top of the broken wall.

Why does it always have to be a Frenchman?

>>538207161
The french has no human rights

I'm at the Suchdol siege, did my performance change the outcome at all or was it because I didn't choose my two shittiest guys (Knacker/Hunter)?

>>538218458
Your performance shooting from the wall seems to matter in my experience. I believe you have the best chance of everyone surviving if you send your best too.

>>538218804
Yeah I was getting headshots and sent Sam, Kubyenka and one of the Skalitz guards. Also, I headshot the dog.

Does anybody here actually have the patience to use the heavy crossbow or handgonne?

>>538220337
I use the heavy crossbow since I mostly use ranged to snipe and skirmish from stealth. Reload time becomes slightly irrelevant.

>>538220337
Bows are just straight up better in every way. Crossbows should've been a 1 hit kill weapon at every level but they had to nerf the damage. It ends up taking forever to reload, plants you half the time and doesn't even do the one thing it was created for.
To be fair, can you imagine just getting one tapped by some level 1 bandit wearing nothing but some shitty gambeson while fast traveling?

>>538220337
No I like crossbows but I use the lighter ones.
>>538221784
I've started giving myself marksman bolts in console (the ones Godwin is using in the tutorial) to give myself a reason to use them over bows. One shot kills even to armored enemies are pretty common if you have a few perks.

>Why is there a KCD2 general?
>Look inside

Ah... of course...

Well that was hilarious, the entire camp ends up in Markvart's tent so when I ended the cutscene I had to kill 10 guys.

>>538220337
I prefer crossbows but they take too long to reload so I use Capon's bow instead. Handgonnes can eat my ass.

HOW?!??!

And it's over. What a great game, haven't had this much fun since TW3.
Assuming there's another game, is the consensus that it'll take place during the Hussite Wars? Henry would probably be in his late 30s or early 40s by that point. Theoretically he could still be the MC but maybe one of Hans sons during the later years of the war?

>>538235835
i'm scared that they won't make kcd3 and instead will try to make some sci fi slop

>>538235835
>>538236139
The rumor I keep seeing posted is vikings but I have no idea if there's anything real to back that up. My dream is the Third Crusade but they could barely make Kuttenberg that'd be beyond their scope.

>>538236532
It’s not really a rumor, Vavra just happens to like Vikings and LARPs as a pagan. Doesn’t mean anything for the future development, though.

>>538236532
Crusader is confirmed a no

>>538227436
What is this?

>>538235835
Unless you played on hardcore mode you didn't get the full experience

As do we all my friend. As do we all.

>>538253483
life is suffering

Can you actually roleplay as evil Henry without massacring every single human? Kinda like Arcanum evil storyline? I understand that all "evil" quests are available to "good" henry and there will be nothing new, but at least there may be some alternative way of doing things?
From what I understand, you can go with intimidation checks to solve things, but is it even finished? Like, I know you can't intimidate guards, but it's also pointless to intimidate peasants because they just run to the guards the moment they spot a crime, and they will not stop to negotiate, the only way to silence them is to kill them.
Is it even worth trying to play as evil Henry?

bump https://x.com/ACC_1947/status/1964607248279490867/photo/1

People were right, KCD2 had a MUCH better story. I kind of want to replay it in a year or two but they really need to re-balance HP values and damage scaling, it's just too high.
Using mods to lower your damage or using a weaker weapon just defeats the purpose of playing an RPG.

After reading up on some history, there's a very real chance Henry gets knighted/legitimized by Wenceslas since he ends up escaping on Nov 11, 1403 with the aid of Lichenstein. I imagine Henry will be part of that.
The question is, how do they incorporate Prague into the story without leaving it until the end? It would make no sense to create Prague which should be twice the size of Kuttenberg and not actually use it. I guess they could use it in a prequel to explore Radzig's and Martin's past to set up a nice scene for when Henry finally gets knighted.
Looking forward to playing it in 7 years.

>>538267852
Very cute, but did you mean to post a different link?

>poor Jitka, Capon has obviously caught all the STDs in the kingdom
>poor Jitka, Capon clearly doesn’t know what to do with a woman and is probably a sodomite too
Pick one, you gossiping noble assholes.

>>538289153
That line was definitely written after they decided to make Hans romanceable

>>538286440
it doesn't open the same picture for you?

>>538289153
huh. the fujo scholars are gonna be so interested in this.

Why is there no NG+?

>>538293737
What's the point of one?

>>538294102
To make the game harder, collect stuff you missed, make different choices.

>>538294439
You can do all of that already

>>538279072
Just have Henry have to work in Prague laying down the foundations for the bail out plan.

TOMORROW

>>538289431
There’s a whole conversation there. Another guy agrees and says “the likes of him only live for hunting trips” and an occasional visit to bathhouse wenches. Then they wonder if he might have learned “a thing or two” at the baths after all and it could be a happy marriage eventually.

Going grocery shopping tomorrow, you guys want anything?

legacy of the forge prologue spoilers for those who want to be spoiled, some people are posting things on youtube

>>538316118
Baby

>>538316118
Funny, just yesterday I actually managed to put together an outfit that looks like Henry's initial Skalitz wear in 2.

>>538316118
his father absolutely refused to buy him more than 1 set of clothing it seems

>>538328469
Why would he? Clothes are expensive

>>538329918
Bullshit. Forge a single Martin quality sword and you can afford the fanciest 20 charisma outfit in Bohemia.

>>538330116
Martin's sword wasn't Martin's quality so it's possible he didn't even know how to make Martin quality swords, and Henry only invented it after his death

>>538316118
It's worth noting that aside from the baby skeleton you find digging up graves, this is the only depiction of a child we've ever seen in either KCD game.

I believe I recall the devs mentioning that they wanted children to be in the game and that children actually outnumbered adults in these peasant villages but they ultimately couldn't do it due to engine limitations of having so many NPCs present at once. That's also why we've never actually had a proper battle in the game either. Even the sieges use false npcs that are nothing more that props for scenery.

This bug that makes inn rooms inaccessible forever is extremely annoying.

>>538331309
I found the solution to this is to throw rocks at the door to lure NPCs to it, if you get lucky they'll open the door and check inside, you still can't interact with the door but at least the room is accessible again

Okay so since launch there has been
>horse races
>haircuts
>paintable shields
>player home
>additional smithing mechanics
>2 side quests

Seems like not all that much. I guess they're going all in on the monastery DLC. Hopefully they flesh out the ending some more with that one. Maybe give Henry a proper epilogue instead of imaginary parents calling him a heartless villain for killing a bandit that ran at him with an axe.

>>538332248
>imaginary parents calling him a heartless villain for killing a bandit that ran at him with an axe
Yeah that was annoying, if I could I would have killed them for talking smack

>>538332248
>Maybe give Henry a proper epilogue instead of imaginary parents calling him a heartless villain for killing a bandit that ran at him with an axe.
Not happening lol

Every dicer's worst nightmare.

>>538348186
playing in the dark? I just turn my torch on before initiating and it stays on when I sit down to play

>>538332248
No proper epilogue = higher chance of KCD3 with Henry being the protagonist again

>>538357684
Pretty much. It’s just Warhorse keeping their options open. With the ending being the way it is, they can do a direct sequel, an indirect sequel, or a whole different game and KCD2 will still feel complete.

Warhorse posted a photo of Hans and Henry meeting Martin in Maleshov.

>white girl on couch meme.jpg
Poor Henry is gonna get drained dry.

get off of there you idiot

So when will the DLC drop

>>538377862
15:00 utc iirc

>>538374470
>>538372052
Apparently things got pretty funny at fanfest.
>There was a comedy skit (albeit in Czech which we cant speak) where Hans & Henry actors were basically courting each other and they kissed at the end after the crowd prompted them. On stage during the cosplay contest Tobi made a joke to the Martin cosplayer about how he might not approve of his son's lifestyle and the Henry & Hans actors linked arms and winked.

>>538381103
I missed the first one

I started playing kingdom come deliverance recently, but I cannot help but notice that I have problems at defending myself with the shield...
Whenever I lock on to a target, the shield sometimes follow the direction of the sword and sometimes stays stuck there in the original position even though it should move.
I am starting to think it is a big bug, which is kinda strange, I do have a potato computer with 300ish FPS at low settings...
To make matters even worse, whenever I use a weapon without a shield, it blocks perfectly.
Long sword...fine
Short sword...fine
Axe...fine.
Polearm...fine.
Hands...fine.
Tried searching around, no mention of it anywhere.
Has it happened to any of you?

>>538382763
Imagine wanting to hide behind a shield

>>538383047
Man I'm still a noob, started only hardcore, never touched vanilla, I love using the longsword and it is my favourite weapon, but I wanted to try the shield and sword...a bit disappointed I am...

It was, in fact, more than 10 minutes remaining.
But on the other hand - Tom stream in 10 minutes.

Did they fire everyone at warhorse?
What have they been doing since launch?
They've added one small side quest and a handful of features that could have easily been mods that they admit they were working on before release.
And what we're seeing with Legacy of The Forge is less a discount From the Ashes.

Where is all the development time going?

>>538407898
What do you want them to be working on, gay sex?

If I didn't know ahead of time that the DLC won't include romance or any sort of main character beyond Henry content, that clickbait would have gotten me.

Imagine being a Czech Katherinefag. It's like a non-stop NTR experience.

Was Rosa a virgin?

No, she's had sex with every ma whose ever worked for her father

>>538412757

>>538412482
She spread her legs way too easy. A virgin would be more shy about that.

>>538416087
Henry and Hans think she wasn’t, but Hans is very biased in this case.

>>538414916
hansrychads keep winning

So was young Henry the thing they were trying to keep secret yesterday?

>>538412482
>>538412757
>>538416087
>>538417953
I always felt like the multiple mentions of Rosa sneaking in and out of her house was a pretty solid indicator she was getting laid. I mean what else would she be sneaking out to do? I got this impression before even hearing Henry and Hans discussing Henry's night with her.

>open steam forums
>thread complaining that there's "no nudity in the sex scenes"
Exactly how retarded are these people? Katherine's massive cow tits are shoved in the camera during her sex scene, you see Rosa's tits and her legs in the air while Henry plows her, Klara is just sitting there with her tits out, and Hans is clearly naked and frotting with BBC. I'd say all of that is about on par with the sex scenes from KCD1. Stephanie didn't even get a sex scene unless I repressed that memory.

>>538423994
What a shame, Henry had such good chemistry with Rosa.

Guys I think between watching a lot of animation related things and KCD2 videos on youtube I'm getting recs for Moomin and Snufkin videos from the 90's series lmao. I had never heard of them before and especially never heard about how apparently common that ship is. I'm straight and I haven't even watched anything Hansry specific. This is so funny to me. Moomin seems like a really charming little show for what it's worth and Snufkin's English va is really funny.

>>538425994
>Moomin seems like a really charming little show
If you mean the Finnish/Japanese show, it's still really popular here in Spurdoland, and both kids and adults love it. I guess people shipping Moomintroll and Snufkin is because they're best mates and always hanging around, it doesn't usually take much more to trigger a shipping avalanche.

>>538425329
I agree and I think they'd still make a good pair. I'm not saying I think she's some kind of slut just that she isn't some sheltered virgin. Henry likely isn't a virgin whether he slept with Stephanie or Theresa. I always got the impression he had already banged Bianca when KCD started. I know there's the achievement but I think that's more of an easter eggy joke kind of thing. Theresa probably isn't a virgin before Henry although I have nothing to base that off beyond vibes and the fact she's a hot 20 something in a small village. Hans is a manwhore. Kat is...Kat...lol

>>538425329
What does chemistry have to do with her being a virgin?

>streamers got early access to the dlc
fuck off

>>538426880
I don't want to romance her anymore. I kind of got the feeling like she was only using Henry to get her father back which is why she was so quick to tell him to fuck off after the sex which would lends itself well to the points >>538423994 and >>538417074 made. She seems to have no qualms in using sex to get what she wants and it just seems way more insidious than Katherine for example. I wouldn't romance Katherine either, the sex was completely out of left field and I had no idea it was coming. I just want whats best for my Henry.

>>538426595
Yes that's the one I mean. I'm going to start watching it. I looked into the ship and apparently there's more to it than that. The Snufkin character is apparently based on the one time fiance of the writer and she was apparently gay irl. Her fiance would frequently travel for extended periods like Snufkin and the author realized they would never be able to settle down together although they remained friends. Obviously as you said the instant two best mates get shipped any and all interactions between them will be over analyzed to death for the slightest gay bread crumbs. Kind of reminds me of a certain young noble and his blacksmith best friend... Jokes aside there seems to be at least a little more tangible back story to this ship compared to the usual "two boys genuinely care about each other so I've decided they're actually mad with homolust" thing we see so often.

>>538427394
She's clearly into Henry almost immediately, well before her father is taken. After Henry helps with blackmailing Vavak she's REALLY into him. Like 75% of their romance happens before her father is even taken. Their main interaction is Henry helping her write her book. Rosa finding the book they wrote together, one of the only things not stolen from her ruined home, is what directly precedes their romance scene. If you're soured on Rosa for your Henry I'm not here to change your mind. Play how you want. I just don't see that particular manipulative angle from Rosa at all, she felt very sincere to me.

>>538427394
Rosa wanting to manipulate Henry into freeing her father makes no sense when Henry already wants to free her father, together with all the other Wenceslas-supporting noblemen.

>>538428157
>>538428390
Please explain to me why she lets Henry fuck her if she never intended on taking the relationship further.

>>538428609
Because she likes him.

>>538428157
NTA but I think they have great chemistry and "a spark" so to speak, and I don't care if she's a virgin or not, but her attitude during the morning after sours the romance for me. She comes across as dismissive or even downright rude depending on your dialogue choices. Of course, it's all about how you interpret what she says, so I get it.

You don't get it. All of the romances have to be shit-tier flings because Henry can't be tied down in future games/dlc.

>waaaa Rosa's not a virgin
>waaaa Rosa pumps and dumps Henry
>waaaa Rosa manipulates Henry to get what she wants
LOOK NO FURTHER

>>538428695
>her attitude during the morning after sours the romance for me. She comes across as dismissive or even downright rude
The post-nut clarity reminding her that she's gonna have to marry a fat old dude and Henry will take a hike whether she likes it or not.

this gen is only active when you guys are talking about romances or gay sex

>>538428609
Women like sex anon

>>538428390
>>538428679
It all just seems extremely manipulative when she outright asks whether he'd choose saving the nobles (thus her father) vs taking the silver. The sex just seems like it was her last chance to cement Henry into making sure he rescued her father.

>>538427394
Another one recruited to the Hansry cause then.

But seriously anon, Rosa's into him. She not in love with him or anything but it's like she's a was being manipulative.

>>538428609
Because sometimes people with a strong mutual attraction for each other have sex before marriage?
>>538428695
I can see how her reaction is a little deflating but it's really no different than what Theresa tells Henry. It's not so much "I like you but I don't like you that much" as it is "I'd considering settling down with you but we both know that isn't realistic" even if Theresa and Rosa feel this way for different reasons. Even Hans >>538429347 has somewhat resigned himself to his fate/duty by the end of the game.
>>538429813
Why not fuck Zizka or Devil then because they're actually in charge of the raid?

>>538429347
>>538430041
My Henry isn't gay but I find it hilarious that the gay romance turns out to be the best one.

>>538430041
>>538427394
it's *NOT like she was being manipulative

>>538429347
Massively out of character for both of them. This romance was literally only introduced because the game was in development when DEI was the mainstream culture and they wanted to appease games journos who will hate them no matter what.

>>538430129
Because Zizka would never prioritize the nobles over the silver if it came down to it. Dry Devil doubly so, shit, he'd sell the nobles for the silver if he had to.
Henry is young and naive, well connected within the group, has a really big sway on what the group does (the fact that he wasn't punished at all for going against Zizka's plan of torching the village proves this)

Rosa wasn't being manipulative.
That's all made up stuff in your head.

Still a mediocre romance, but that's no surprise. Almost no developer is willing to give the basic bitch easy as hell to write satisfying romance that people actually want.

>>538428695
NTA either but: She's very aware of her own situation for better or for worse. The morning dialogue did come across as rude and abrupt, and that's why I don't like it either but... I get it. She's realistic, but her romance simpy isn't very satisfying because of that.

>>538430402
>Massively out of character for both of them
Yeah if you rp straight like I do I agree. If you're playing the game Hansry it changes their characterization. That's why there are the specific Hansry dialogues at key points in the game. I'm the first to defend the idea that not all best bros are secretly attracted to each other but by the point in the game Hansry happens, it makes sense for both of them ASSUMING you were playing it that way from the start.

Reviews for Legacy of the Forge are dropping.
Looks like it's 10 hours of radiant quests (repeatable randomly generated busy work) and 5 hours of story quests with the main feature being the forge which is designed to make gameplay more convenient.

It honestly sounds like the forge was supposed to be in the main game but they figured they could make more money by forcing people to pay for quality of life improvements to the game.

Didn't Rosa order Henry to murder all of the squatters in her house? She even flips out when you suggest trying to settle it amicably.

>>538430889
These aren't random characters that popped into existence. They're established characters with canonical actions in the previous game. Henry and Hans were both attracted to women and at never point expressed attraction to men. They were straight. This is a blatant retcon. How "you were playing" doesn't even enter the conversation.

>>538430129
I can't personally speak on Theresa's romance because I legendary fumbled the bag on that one
>always says "not now, come back later" when I asked her on a date
>don't get around to finishing her romance until the very end of the game
>Henry says something like "we shouldn't do it in a hay pile next time" after having sex
>she jokingly goes "you think there's going to be a next time?"
>Henry asks what she means
>"I don't know, I kind of like you when you're not being retarded and answering a question with a question"
>my irl experience with women causes me to overthink this and think she doesn't want a relationship or she's doing mindgames or some shit
>pick "let's not talk about it right now" in hopes of not pissing her off
>she immediately blows up at Henry and accuses him of just using her for a quick fuck in the hay
>tells me to fuck off and refuses to speak with me so I can't apologize or anything
>oh well I guess
>go meet Hans at the camp and ride off into the KCD2 sunset

>>538430402
>>538431389
We're so back bros, we have /v/ tourists here again

>>538431806
let me guess, your entire identity is being gay

>>538431389
Plenty of people don't realize they're gay or bi until they're a little older. Hans and Henry are only 20.

>>538431640
The "better" dialogue is essentially Henry I really like you but you're in the service of nobles running around the countryside fighting battles and whatnot. I don't see you being ready to settle down any time soon. Even if you were I'm just a common mill wench etc. I'm paraphrasing but it really is very similar to what Rosa says just kind of in an inverted way if that makes sense.

Vavra really killed the franchise for the sake of DEI money huh?

>>538432462
Investment money is better than sales because it boosts numbers right now and doesn't rely on producing a good product.

>>538429347
>anal virgin
>plump ass and slim waist
>capable of getting pregnant according to henry’s mom
>wants to give henry money and presents 24/7
>willing to cheat on his future wife with henry
>is a noble but bottoms for a peasant blacksmith
K I N O

>>538432462
>>538433006
Good thing the sales were also great and the product was universally praised.

>>538429347
waaaa he's a whore
What now anon?

>>538433325
truth nuke, he's a whore and rapebait

>>538430129
>Why not fuck Zizka or Devil then because they're actually in charge of the raid?
she did

>>538433325
>>538434257
>gets out of Maleshov
>first thing he does is fuck a local wench

>>538435193
Get on with the program anon. It was discovered there isn't any woman named Karolina in Troskowitz. Hans lied.

also bisexuals exist

>>538435485
I'm not using this as a refutation of Hansry just reinforcing the idea that Hans is legitimately a man whore.

>>538435675
oops sorry.
But he does appear to have lied about Karolina since she doesn't appear exist anywhere on the map.

>>538408282
Well yeah.

>>538435193
Maleshov soldiers probably raped him, it can't be helped

>>538436083
Idk that feels more like a
>In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
thing to me vs. Warhorse consciously making it a lie. I think they just did an [insert female name] thing.

>>538436530
Depending on when you go hunting with him he doesn't mention the Karolina girl at all so you could interpret it as him lying or just being a slut

Based on what I'm hearing, Legacy of the Forge is a safe skip.
There's minimal story content, and the forge is only useful if you're a new player who hasn't already reached the endgame. If you're just sitting on a save waiting for the next dlc then there's no reason to try this one unless you want to spend a couple hours repairing a clock and flip through some customization options on a house you won't use because you already completed everything the game has to offer.

>>538430402
>>538431389
>>538432462
>/v/tard tourists back at it again
Reminder Hansry is canon.

>>538436530
Henry can call him out on it being the same name as the DLC girl though, which means the writers were aware. The implications of him lying are definitely there.

>>538436972
I'll still check it out since I already own it and I'm free tomorrow, but that's rough if it's true. I already knew I wouldn't care too much about the home customization aspect since I can't invite Hans or anything.

>>538436360
Next game they'll go all in and make a porn rpg

>>538436972
Dlcs are for bringing new players in

>>538431153
>It honestly sounds like the forge was supposed to be in the main game but they figured they could make more money by forcing people to pay for quality of life improvements to the game.
God I fucking hate when companies do this.

>>538439364
You'd think based on the way some people talk that's what they wished this game was.

>>538440273
Theresa's sex scene got the same reaction back in 2018 so nothing new honestly

>>538440273
I do wonder what it would look like to have an actual rpg with porn scenes in it, where the porn isn't the main focus

>>538440878
What reaction? "We want more explicit sex!"?
>>538441038
Didn't the director in Boogie Nights (the director character in the movie, not the director of the movie itself) dream of making porn films that are so good people stay in the theater to finish watching them even when they're done jacking off? That's what this reminded me of lol.

>>538441725
I thought about real movies with porn in them too. It's weird to me that porn is a completely separate category even though other forms of entertainment get so close to becoming porn
And look at the top downloaded mods for any game, it's what people want. Untapped market I'm telling you

>>538442103
Eh I don't think smut will ever be "mainstream" no matter how quality it is or how widespread its consumption is. I just can't imagine people discussing a porn movie/game at work or school in mixed company even if everything surrounding the porn scenes is also great. Cultural norms change all the time though.

>>538443982
I know, that's why everyone's too scared
I'll have to do it myself

The scene where Henry and Hans go on their hunting trip, find Sigismund's soldiers, and kill them has such a funny line. Henry asks Hans what they should do and Hans, in his most serious voice, says "We came here to hunt...so let's hunt" feels so out of character lol. Was he trying to act tough in front of Henry? This feels like something Stallone would say in one of the Rambo sequels.

>>538444474
GL, don't forget to throw us necrochads a bone.

>>538444612
Will you accept somno?

>>538444962
Yeah, that's fine too.

>>538444549
>Was he trying to act tough in front of Henry?
He was already feeling inadequate about being stuck at the inn and not allowed to help so probably

>>538330116
Martin couldn't even forge a Henry quality sword, his last work was tier 2

>>538448790
>cuck
>shitty blacksmith
>haunts Henry via schizo delusions
Marin a shit

>>538330585
>That's also why we've never actually had a proper battle in the game either. Even the sieges use false npcs that are nothing more that props for scenery.
I mean, still move believable than Oblivion battles.
>Men, you are all the greatest forces of Cyrodiil, assembled here today to face the forces of evil! All of the greatest cities of men have joined forces to face this great challenge! Trust in your fellow man, and do not falter!
>The six guardsmen that showed up: Yeah, good speech. *claps*

>>538452095
makes me wonder if their next game (KCD3 or something else) will be on the cryengine or they'll switch to unreal

>>538452095
Warband already showed us that simulating a battle with hundreds of soldiers was possible even with low end pcs. And that was over a decade ago.

I cheated on Theresa so many times she dumped me

sex with hans

Vavra considers the game a huge success
It's admirable someone still make games out of pure passion and getting enjoyment out of the success thats not just $$$

Was this the exact moment Emmeram decided he was going to deface the guild sword?

>>538477046
Remember to meet with the rival guild in secret and agree to throw the fight.
The Bohemian guy's combo is way better than the German guy's combo, and you can only learn one of them in each playthrough.

>>538476687
Chudbros on suicide watch.

>>538437564
He also can’t keep his story straight (lol). The Bohunowitz girl changes to “a couple of girls” later if you don’t ask him about the hunting lodge, which sounds like desperation.
>I’m having loads of sex here WITHOUT YOU. Aren’t you jealous how many women are fucking me?

>>538477316
>caring about longsword combos
if you want to be op you use one handed swords
otherwise you just don't touch swords cause it's too easy
still helped Kuttenbergers anyway cause fuck germs

>>538428609
People like sex, anon. They barely know each other and there's no chance in hell they'd ever be together, so a fun one-night stand is the only thing that could reasonably happen there. People seethe about it because they're used to typical vidya romances where talking to a character twice and giving them a gift means you become the love of their life, but real people don't work like that and KCD respects it.

>>538431286
Yeah. She's a proud noble, after all. Money and things >>>>> poorfags.

Somebody who knows medieval nobles didn't sleep on the floor like animals. If this event was anything like the Kuttenberg Silvering, though, then these tents were put there by the organizers.

bump

So the right thing to do here is to start a new game for the DLC eh?

>>538514715
yes, I'm waiting for it to drop and start a hardcore run with all negative perks

Opened reddit to look at what people are saying about the forge. I am now convinced at least 90% of the sub consists of women.

>>538500665
>>538501372
That bed looks like the medieval camp beds I've seen at medieval fairs, and if it is built like one, it's easy to transport. Basically the bedframe breaks into the four corner posts and four planks, and then you have a few more planks to complete the bedstead where the mattress rests in. Others used tighty-spanned ropes. That mattress looks so regular and even that I think whoever's bed it is bent the rules a bit and it's a modern one instead of the authentic experience of a linen sack filled with soft material (from hay to even feathers).

>>538516914
What are they saying? I just woke up

>>538516914
Most people haven’t even downloaded it yet, how can they say anything about it?

wow

>>538516914
Dont leave us hanging

>>538521243
?????

>Hans is giving us even more things
Best waifu.

>>538522494

Genuinely amazing how each patch makes the game slightly gayer

The main tavern in map 2 has a forge that always placed the swords inside of the anvil.
It was really fucking annoying.

patch notes

>Removed Capon's plate chausses from the soldiers in the camp.
HANS RAPE DENIED

Damn, I'm cool.
Anyway, damn, this update + DLC is taking a long time to download.

Wait so can you craft armor now?

Nooooo my heckin herb weight mod isn't updated, this is literally the end of the world

>>538522494
Guess I have to start a new game to find out what

>>538524004
Literally unplayable

>All of these camera settings but didn't add a Nighthawk effect.
Sigh, oh well.

>>538527991
My eyes..... truly boomers and gen xers behind the game

>>538524720
>Anyway, damn, this update + DLC is taking a long time to download.
It got to 50% in about 30min then just slowed to a crawl for me

>>538524004
They better not remove them from my inventory. They look pretty good on Henry.

Henry, what are planning to do on this bed, exactly?

>>538533085
*are you

>>538533085
Is this for the "Cuman prisoner" roleplay he and Hans are almost certainly into?

>>538524004
Warhorse has gotten protective lately.

I've apparently forgotten how to smith competently in the months since I've played. This does not bode well.

>>538533085
The bed description says it’s designed to “ease the soul and conscience through suffering”.

>>538533854
That description and those manacles I can see make me think I would rather ease my soul and conscience sleeping on the floor.

>>538533085
reused asset from the removed "Henry kidnaps and rapes Hans" alternate ending

>>538533803
1. Strike rhythmically. It doesn't matter if you do big swings or little swings, so long as there's an equal amount of time between each swing. You can't lower the quality by not doing this, but you'll finish a lot faster by following a rhythm.
2. Strike in slightly different locations each time. You lower the quality if you hit the same spot too many times in a row.
3. Keep the metal hot but not too high. If you strike the metal while it's cold you'll lower the quality. If you overheat the metal in the forge you'll lower the quality. You'll have to reheat usually 1-3 times before you finish.
4. Flip occasionally. It's not clear if this actually does anything, but supposedly it hellps. Just make sure you still move the hammer slightly after flipping otherwise you'll run into problems with rule 2 despite it being the other side of the metal.

If you get good you'll be able to finish a piece in a minute or two at the highest quality. Make sure to sharpen after.

>>538534523
That bed is like what i imagined too wtf

>>538533085
I love how we all thought of the same thing

>>538533803
You want to create the most amount of sparks, this means find the timing and sticking with it. You can move up or down the blade or just alternate between two locations. You want the metal to be bright yellow, it looks super bright. If it turns red you'll know you've gone too far. You don't need to ever go back to the forge as long as you heat it up and get your rhythm down.

Still the best patch note from one of the earlier patches

>>538533532
>>538534523
>>538536495
>>538536841
DEVILISH

>>538533803
Also what I like to do is heat each section up and count the amount of times I hit the bellows per location. 9-10 bellows per section is just enough to get it to that bright yellow, just make sure to heat it evenly by hitting it thrice in each spotting and alternating.

Yes we've been past here about 900 times before. You have a room and belong to a criminal gang next door.

>>538533803
They definitely made smithing more strict because I made a brunswick poleaxe for a test and it was only 29%, I forged like 80% radzig sword 2 days ago

>>538542665
the fuck does that mean
all that matters is the tier

He was really a brat as a kid. Its probably for the best he wasn't raised noble. He and Hans would have probably caused a peasant rebellion.

>>538543269
I like that he walked off and started wacking the shit out of the forge sign while Martin was trying to have a sentimental moment

>>538543269
do we think Martin ever had moments where he regretted adopting that bastard or was marrying his mother's worth it

>>538551283
Now we know what he was like both as a kid and a teenager he must have regretted it every single day. Radzig really lucked out he gets to claim responsibility for post massacre uber competent Henry not the failure Martin put up with

>widow is forced to live with you
>can invite Martin's old friend to live with you
>but can't invite Katherine or Hans
I understand why fujos were upset now, that kind of sucks

>>538556029
To be fair it would be harder to do for Henry or Katherine while having the forge available at any point in Kuttenburg considering their quest involvement
Surely someone will mod it but I guess it sucks there won't be any new dialogue for it

>>538556831
If Warhorse would just get over of its "no post game dlc content" autism we could all be happy

Voyta, I love you dude, but you gotta understand, shields are fucking useless in this game and every time the screen goes all "NEW PAINTING UNLOCKED" I just couldn't care less.

Actual spoilers.
The last thing we get before the end of the story is a bunch of hints about what the next game or major DLC is going to be.

>Rosa is going to Podiebrad
>Hans is marrying Jitka of Kunstadt
>Historically, we know Jitka's father becomes lord of Podiebrad after Wenceslas is released

So essentially we're going to Podiebrad and Hans is 100% getting married to Jitka while he's there. What part Rosa plays in this is unclear as she's not mentioned in the historical record.

>>538560595
Don't think you need to spoiler it the games 7 months old. But anyway I'd be amazed if the main plot of any perspective 3rd game isn't busting Wenceslaus out of Vienna

>>538557226
The autism is what makes it good
