Exactly, sounds utterly perplexing. What Warhorse has done with this game is fantastic, so I don't want others to think I'm trying to knock it in multiple ways. I don't think anyone can argue there isn't enough transparency here. At least not for people who are buying into the retail version.
I played a bit yesterday. It's good in places, but hardly gripping stuff in terms of plot and quests tbh.
Main character is very disappointing. I already knew the character was premade, but then I started reading comments and articles calling it a 'True RPG' etc, and got my hopes up! This Henry guy has conversations with people without any input from me at all...Trying to play as a badass, then a cutscene plays and he starts crying! Really takes you out of it.
I'll continue playing it, but if something more interesting crops up, I won't necessarily feel I've missed out.
Also, a shout out to the fact that there is an aiming reticule in the game at all times...except when you need to aim at something! Then they remove it!

Just stumbled upon this game. It's mentioned fairly often in Skyrim groups. I still really like skyrim, but I do fancy a game with better visuals and more fluid combat. Is this KC
like FarCry 2 onwards? In other words, does it promise the World and deliver crappy, repetitive rubbish?
Is it still buggy and hardware demanding? After being so disappointed with Mass Effect Andromeda, I'm actually nervous of buying anything new anymore. I seem to stick with FalconBMS, Skyrim, and Mass Effect OT almost exclusively.

If you got a backlog already, would not hurt to wait, at least a few weeks in which time I expect they will polish it up somewhat more.

I was wondering when you might drop by with your view on this
Near 1000 posts in an RPG-related thread and not one from you - I was beginning to worry

How far into the game are you? You may need to get further in...
EDIT: Sorry for some reason I couldn't see the replies after this post of yours at first. I see someone else had already answered for you. Rattay and training is the answer

Truth is I couldn't afford the game until yesterday!

A few differences since I saw it and have been playing it.
You have a health bar. So do the enemy. You can't heal during battle or use inventory items, you can only switch equipped weapons (so either sword or bow, not 4 different swords, an axe, a plethora of maces at...).
Armour is effective but only to a point. Combat has to be learned so you will suck at the start which will make you cautious. You can of course surrender. I've only fought about 10 bandits and they have all surrendered so far (then I stuck 'em with the pointy end).
You heal by sleeping, if bleeding then you should use bandages (or die slowly).
I'd say that the combat is very good compared to other games, close to Mount and Blade.
The world is amazing and sets a benchmark at the very least. I spent 6 hours (real time) just hunting rabbits (mostly retrieving my arrows).
Ahh yes i forgot about that 3 shown at once thing haha
What 8 sidequests you got? (spoilers if others dont want to see)

Hmmm off the top of my head (as if I start it I won't come off!):
Three for the monastery's sick (potion, herbs and meat), one involving weeding for the friar, and I think another there for trying to get better conditions for the ill folk?
Bandit camp hunting for one of the towns (done the ones for the main city already)
Blacksmith rhyme check and report back
Meat for an inn keeper
Theresa walk
Interview a stable boy about a lost horse
Go fight three blokes for some kind of championship
The first one may count as a main quest? Not sure, but I've been ignoring it as it's pretty tedious. If so, that's six side quests on the go, having done quite a few other ones already.

Sussed it.

What pains me about it is that it is written by Robert Purchese, who has for a long time been my favourite EG.net writer, his features about CD Projekt, Bohemia and so on are fantastic.
To see him become another one of those agenda-driven crazies is sad.
It is a sad state of affairs alright. Nobody is allowed to to tell the story they want to anymore.
The first line of the last paragraph of the review is just ridiculous - "All of which means that a shadow lingers over Kingdom Come: Deliverance"...No, it really doesn't!

This tickled me on reddit, lol. You don't know who you're messing with, mate.
