Kingdom Come; Deliverance

If a person was too dumb to figure out how to play and really get into Witcher 3 .... would this game also be too difficult for them?

I didn't really grasp the combat of the first one too well and threw in the towel not terribly far in, it just didn't click for me. The Witcher on the other hand I thought was extremely straight forward and put in 100+ hours into it twice, I guess it depends how patient your friend wants to be, as there is less hand holding in the Kingdom Come games than the Witchers and Skyrims of the world

There is a learning curve, which can be pretty steep at times. Fights can take anywhere from a couple of hits to a few minutes depending on skill.

But luckily there are numerous places in game to go practice and get better. It doesn't hold your hand but it will help you get better with trainers that show you how to fight and how to get better at fighting.

The thing I loved about combat in the first one and this one is it's not just spam the attack button and land hits. You have to plan and strategize like you would in real life.

I sooooo wanted to get into this game, but for some reason I just couldn't... Taking on a new open world RPG just feels like such an undertaking these days, I just end up back on Runescape and/or Red Dead lol.

Is it pretty much the same combat system as the first one? Looking at the walkthrough, it looks like I probably cashed out a quest or two after the one where you do your sword training, which I just squeaked by

I remember a sword you could get in an ancient map in KCD that had the highest stab in the game, so you can get it pretty early and its a shortsword. With how quick you can get stabs off, combat was super easy. Just had to do some blocks then counter with a fast stab and with how high the damage was it only took a few stabs to kill, if that many

Pretty much, but smoother.

Thing to remember is that Henry is terrible with a sword, even after doing the training. You need to improve your skill with weapons to get good at it. Like you could ace the training but then your skill level will be too low and things will still kill you in three or four shots.

KCD has a very steep learning curve. KCD2 is not as steep though there still is one.

In KCD you are the son of a blacksmith and are an illiterate lump of meat who can't really do anything. If you want to be skilled at something, you need to work at it. In KCD2 you start with a baseline level of skill and can jump into things much smoother because of that.

For both though, it's very important to note that in KCD you are not a saviour or the chosen one, you're not the lone hero character. If you try and play the game that way like most open world RPGs, you'll be punished severely for it.

I wouldn't say dumb. Those kinds of games aren't for everyone. But, Witcher 3 is a very casual experience compared to KCD. KCD is a medieval life simulator. The first few hours a lot of people just end up dying of starvation or from bandits. Or from the guards. Its unforgiving and the save system is terrible if you don't mod the game.

My first playthrough of KCD I was still getting kill by random ambushes late game. Granted I learned later that I wasn't using alchemy right, traveling at night was scary, and I did not take advantage of training enough. Plus I used a helmet with a face guard and I'd lose track of guys with my periphery cut off.

You can get over powered, to those that haven't played, but that might give you some insight to the game.

It was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

Finally started playing middle of last week. I'm on a sabbatical so I have a lot of free time. I have like 30 hours in so far, absolutely love it. It is a more polished KCD1 cranked up to 11. There are small tweaks, but they didn't remove anything from the first game, and just added in more great stuff along the same lines (Blacksmithing is a guilty pleasure of mine).

If you liked KCD1, you probably already own this, but if you don't, buy it and play it immediately.

To anyone else, I strongly suggest it. The character progression is off the charts so just prepare yourself that you will be weak and vulnerable for much of the early game, and will never be so over powered you can breeze through late game like a Skyrim. I'm a sucker for RPG (light) open world games, and this one hits like crack. It's the best one I've played since The Witcher 3.

Edit: Also, be careful with thievery. I was in for a surprise when someone saw me being shady around a locked door. I left the area then went back shortly after and robbed it. As I snuck out I heard the NPC notice that their stuff was missing but I was gone. Next time I came to town they recognized me as the creeper and I still had the loot on me. Whoops! Off to the stockade.
