Yeah its a gem of a game really. I put it down once before as i couldn't be arsed after a save failed. Picked it back up and glad i did. Its a hard game to master in combat at least but it you become pretty lethal. I've heard there are tournements now to keep things going? Haven't checked it out. I did cheat a little and used a 100% save file which gave me everything in game so i was overburdened and could'nt move/get on horse.
That'll teach me to cheat!

That should tell you a lot though - 2hrs in and not even finished the Prologue! It's a vast game, and well worth it.
There's a good no slow mo mood on nexus mod site ,makes the fights seem more natural

Can get this for 14 pound something on gmg. With a steam sale not far away is it worth snatching for that?
What kind of performance im i looking at from a 980ti?
Cheers guys

So, despite promising myself I'd stay well away from this until the GOTY drops below the 20 quid mark, I picked this up at the weekend on the GOG sale for around 35 (the perils of leaving some spare cash in PayPal account).
Only a few hours in, just got past the intro credits and seem to have fallen into the Woman's Lot dlc, but absolutely loving it.
The gentle pacing and sensitivity of the storyline is really endearing. Can't wait to sink some hours in.
Also, playing it on the big screen via steam link. Owned one for ages but never really got any use out of it, but this game seems like a great fit for it.

Looking forward to more impressions. Are you playing normal or hardcore mode? I am thinking about doing hardcore for my full playthrough, although I am worried about lack of fast travel option.
Btw two more vids got published, really nice trailer
I went for normal because I've read the views that this isn't your average hand holdy rpg. Wanted to enjoy the game, free from battling against the hardcore handicap. I also feel from what I've read that there's probably enough game here for at least two playthroughs. Playing likeable good guy, but might replay as badass next time.
I gave up on Woman's lot. It was great, but I don't think you can dip in and out of it once started and I'm so early in the game I just want to explore as Henry. Had to revert to an earlier save. That dlc does feel like it would fit as epilogue, much like the last witcher 3 dlc. Or maybe at least run it when you've done a significant amount of the main game and need a break.
Back to early Henry. Started the combat training. Oh wow, they certainly put a good amount of thought in to making pressing buttons feel connected to the combat on screen. It's a better system than I've seen in most other games and clearly has scope for the character (through stats) and the player (through motor skill practice) to improve.
Did have a couple of jarring moments from a story pov. First, I'm playing Henry as a good boy, polite if possible in dialogue. During the first round of combat training he had a run in with Capon, and only had bad attitude dialogue options. Fair enough, he might have reasons to not like the nobility.
Mostly though I'm just wandering around, soaking up the views and atmosphere. Don't feel any compulsion to hammer the quest lines yet. It's nice to play at a slower pace.

Yeah for first playthrough nonhardcore is safer. For me from the hardcore elements one that I am most excited about is the fact that there is no icon for Henry on the map. So you genuinely have to navigate based on environment and landmarks, pay closer attention to the surroundings. And the insomniac perk where you go to sleep and wake up in random places sounds pretty funny
Woman's Lot is better left for bit later, yeah.

Insomniac plays havoc when you are camping nearby to an intended Cuman camp target, and then wake up in the middle of a field and no map marker to guide you!Yeah for first playthrough nonhardcore is safer.

I love finding those treasure maps that you have to navigate like a real map. Being hand-drawn also adds to the vagueness in a good way.
I googled Apex and it does seem to look interesting, more saturated. The game is so gorgeous
I might use it as well in my full playthrough
Yeah, can you try using apex and tell me what you think of its affect on NPC models? On one hand apex actually gives the models lighting but i do feel it takes a way a bit of the facial bone detail of the characters. in vanilla the models have that bit more definition but I guess as a negative is if they're standing in shadow.. you can still clearly see what they look like. After dishonored 2 this will definitley be the next game I check out.
Seems like the new Ryzen 3700X is significantly faster in Kingdom Come than my 2700X.
Of course 2700X is still fine, but the gain is impressive:

heads up that this is on Humble Bundle monthly. Its cheaper on this than via the steam sales for me in New Zealand!
Soldato
does it have the dlc?
Soldato
No its just the base game
The DLC can be purchased cheaply in a single package as an upgrade here
