Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Jaymann · Post by **Jaymann** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 9:46 pm

Trailer Here

This is exactly the type of game I am looking for: RPG, Middle Ages, open world, no fantasy. I think they are going to have to go kickstarter to finish it.

If it doesn't have Ned Beatty squealing like a pig, it ain't Deliverance.

Looks pretty cool, I'd like a "realistic" non-magical medieval RPG where I could be a wandering knight errant.

The problem is going to be if your character ever gets wounded, you will pretty much have to start over or spend weeks or months recovering. And that's assuming he doesn't get an infection.

I think there are limits to "realism" when we talk about games, don't you think?

Having to apply each leech individually is a little too much micro management for me

You could cauterize wounds with a hot poker.

Hmm...
Add:
1 part Mount & Blade
1 part The Guild
1 part The Witcher
= KC:D?

Let me see if I can't fix that for you:

Kickstarter link

I'm a backer at Baron (digital) level. This is probably the most impressive Kickstarter trailer I've seen for a computer game so far, and these guys are established enough to deliver.

Keep in mind that they have an investor already, one who can easily finance the entire game. The Kickstarter is there to show this investor, who doesn't have much knowledge about games, that there's a market for it. This Kickstarter, which is set to cover roughly 10% of their total budget, will secure their funding. Considering they're already pretty much at the goal within the first day or so, they shouldn't have any trouble placating the guy.

Ahh that's good... my only hang up was that 300K didn't quite sound like enough to deliver an open world game of that scale.

Looks impressive though. I hope they can deliver.

Tis most splended! Bookmarked!

Apparently this is still going to be a thing. Consider me teased, Deep Silver.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Sun Jan 21, 2018 5:15 am

So the Feb 13th release date is FAST approaching and Ive heard nothing new in over half a year. Whats the scoop people? Any new news?

EDIT: Speak of the devil I found this new video just released 2 days ago. Looks GREAT!

Max Peck · Post by **Max Peck** » Sun Jan 21, 2018 11:08 am

There has been a steady stream of promotional posts from the devs on Steam.

I watched some of the videos there. Laughed at how in the armor video he says if you kill a bandit and take his armor then wear it to the bandit camp you might be able to make them think you are one of them if you can talk your way well enough lol.

Checked the pre orders. $60 here but overseas its just $38.

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Sun Jan 21, 2018 10:02 pm

$38 or 38 of a foreign currency?

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Sun Jan 21, 2018 10:03 pm

Id guess Euro

Green Man Gaming has a VIP voucher for 22% off.
With the discount it's about $47.
VIP does require you to register an account.

Really cool video. So detailed.

killbot737 · Post by **killbot737** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 9:27 pm

Very detailed game. Too detailed. If I wanted to die of dysentery I'd play Oregon Trail. Maybe this scratches the Mount and Blade itch for people. To each his own, I suppose, until the landlord claims primae noctis on your virtual spouse.

Archinerd · Post by **Archinerd** » Wed Jan 24, 2018 10:25 pm

This game looks like something I'd like, I just don't really feel any strong need to buy it since I haven't finished Witcher 3 yet.

coopasonic · Post by **coopasonic** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 10:01 am

I'm a put off by the typewriter ribbons, I mean save potions. It's definitely interesting, but the combat looks.... really odd and the "realistic" healing and limited saving are odd. I'll put it in the eventually after watching more gameplay and getting a discount pile.

Sepiche · Post by **Sepiche** » Thu Jan 25, 2018 4:19 pm

I think this might fall into a new, developing category for me... games I watch other people play, but don't really have the interest in playing myself.

PUBG and Ark fall into this category for me as well.

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Mon Feb 12, 2018 9:58 pm

Preloading now!

I don't know why I know nothing about this game, I just happened to see the topic. I've watched all the video on the Steam page,actually I'm watching the last one now. The narration by the two guys isn't quite as funny as those update videos from Prison Architect, but they are enjoyable. I'm breathlessly awaiting some impressions S.I.M.!

jztemple2 · Post by **jztemple2** » Mon Feb 12, 2018 11:36 pm

I just checked Green Man Gaming and using the code "Feb20" you can take off 20%. I have an account, that might make a difference.

I'm assuming that there is no magic, mages, etc in this game? That's what kind of turned me off getting too far into Skyrim.

Oh, never mind. I just remembered that my wife is working six days a week doing taxes and Far Cry 5 doesn't come out till end of March so why am I even hesitating? Game bought via GMG, 20% off plus I get the prepurchase bonus. Downloading now, impressions maybe later tonight, probably tomorrow during the day.

UPDATE: Still four hours before unlock, so yeah, impressions tomorrow.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:07 am

This may be the greatest game of 2018 from all Ive read and watched of it. I really want it.

I wish it had some MP parts to it so you could fight tournaments at least. Would be so great to quest together.

gbasden · Post by **gbasden** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:10 am

Grabbed as well. This may end up being clunky, but it's so right up my alley.

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:34 am

I’m sure it’s going to be a fustercluck of bugs for awhile after release, but I can deal with those (most likely). This is a pretty ambitious game from what I believe is a fairly small team.

jztemple2 · Post by **jztemple2** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:18 am

I went over (with trepidation) to the Steam discussion forum and was informed that due to the fact that the console versions had to be sent in three months before release, there will be a Day One patch to incorporate all the changes and some new freebie features that Warhorse has added.

And the patch is 25GB

Happily, after some drilling down through nine pages of comments, I found that WH had tweeted that the 25GB will be incorporated into the Steam preload, so that 31.7GB I'm now downloading will be all. Unlocking will be at 3am EST, which is midnight Pacific and sometime yesterday if you live in New Zealand, which means you already read this post yesterday... or tomorrow? I'm confused

Suitably Ironic Moniker · Tue Feb 13, 2018 12:17 pm

I played through the opening section and I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't done too much swordfighting (fisticuffs are fun, though), and all in all it has played a bit like an Elder Scrolls game, with better graphics (of course), writing, and voice acting. Looking forward to getting into the meat of it later. You need an alcoholic drink to save manually, which I can see may be annoying in the future, though the game does autosave at predetermined moments. Performancewise, I have all of the settings up to very high for the graphics, and it's smooth enough.

Automatic deal breaker for me. Gaming with a small child in the house requires a "save anytime" feature, without exception.

Apparently, you can have your character sleep in a bed to save the game.

Which is still not save anytime. It's okay, I've already decided I'm waiting on this game until I finish Witcher 3, which is still at least 6 months out. Maybe by the time I decide to get this you can save anytime or my kid will be moved out.

jztemple2 · Post by **jztemple2** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:42 pm

Well, I've put in 119 minutes according to Steam and I'm already seeing, if not red flags, then some yellow cautions. No difficulty level option, which is going to be tough for me. I got my ass kicked in the fight with the drunk in the village. Am I supposed to be able to win that fight? I suck at button mashing.

Also, as mentioned, saves are far and few between. I've just now seen my first auto save at 119 minutes, I've avoided using the alcoholic save system for now, since there are only limited times you can do it till you need to go buy? steal? some more saves.

And there are lots and lots of cutscenes in those first two hours. I feel like I've been watching a movie.

Still, for the next few weeks I've the free time and I have to admit that the story is well told and the setting very well done. And thankfully I have some interest in medieval Central European history, because there is a lot of it. Lots.

Apparently it is possible to modify the save game function in the game menu by editing a config file so that saving does not consume the tasty adult beverage (or, if you wish, does not require the booze at all).

This guide will show you how to edit the game files to remove the need of Saviour Schnapps to save.

Disclaimer
I tested this myself and it does indeed work, however as I have only played a few hours it is unknown if this will cause any issues. I will not be responsible if your game or any of your saves stop working! I do not know if this stops achievements from working yet.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I did this modification and it works, which is a help. As it is I'm stuck on a quest, but before I ask for help I'll poke around some more in the game in case I missed something.
