I'm actually really enjoying the roleplay aspect of this monastery infiltration quest. It's tedious as fuck to abide by the rules of monastic life, attending Mass twice a day and meals and doing repetitive work, while I try to accomplish what I came here to do and several things I didn't as well, yes. But it's also forcing me to slow down and like actually learn alchemy and stuff.
And it is demanding a lot of patience. The guy I paid to steal the keys for me said it will take a couple days. It took a day to get the blood delivery. I had to wait until nighttime to investigate the cellar. But I like that it's not afraid to punish me the player for skipping time. Every time I do my absence is noticed. Up until now I've been constantly on the move, fast traveling from place to place in pursuit of revenge, and it's forcing me to stop.
It's willing to challenge me with something most games avoid at all costs: silence, and stillness, and a sort of purposeful boredom that allows for contemplation.
kcd2 stealth mission experience is just me making this joke in my head 47 times
Look, I'm excited to see Hans and Henry face the common historical hardship of queer folks of forced marriage. But I also disagree that having them try and dodge it would be bad writing. Hans' character development is centered around reaching maturity. He himself craves to be seen as a grown man but acts like a literal spoiled child. Then he's forced to endure quite a lot which actually makes him mature and become a more mature (mostly kinder) person. Then when he talks about it again in the stables after the ehm love scene we root for him. He's upset because he's sure he has proven himself capable but that's not how Hanush and others see it and he's still not gained the independence he desires. That's why I just don't agree that the only "correct" next step is to obey someone and get married to prove his maturity in the way someone tells him he should. Yes it's historically correct and I'm excited to see it for that reason but including an optional plotline where Henry and he sabotage the wedding does not go against character development like some people seem to think. Rebelling and choosing how his life unfolds would still be a way for Hans to show that he's an independent grown man. Especially with Henry, the one character that wants to see him grow and be happy out of genuine care for him as an individual and who does that with no regard of his precious noble status. I'd say that makes him a sort of opposite of Hanush. Their relationship is a good and stable ground for Hans to develop and a safe place for Henry be attached to and care for someone again after all the trauma he has indured. Henry even mentions this at the very end of the game to his parents when he says he sees his future in Skalitz finally living peacefully with Hans (implied romantically). But if that does not happen that's also fine because obviously that's what a life of a queer nobleman would most likely look like in this historical period.
Thanks for coming to my Všechnopárty
Also I might as well be wrong pls don't hang me lol
“Přidání středověké gay romance do Kingdom Come Deliverance je výplod dnešní doby”
Můj bratře v Kristu, Jaroslav Vrchlický napsal během Národního obrození Noc na Karlštejně s bisexuálním Karlem IV.
Já vím že jsem asi puntíčkář, ale strašně mě štve když někdo v souvislosti s Kingdom Come napíše Kurwa místo Kurva. Já chápu že to všichni znaj s dvojitým w od našich Polských sousedů, ale tady sakra nejsme v Polsku!
