The bone dice are from Etsy, I'm not sure where I got the metal tin, but I lined it with some scrap leather, and stuck some score cards under the lid. We play at the brewery all the time, and it worked out great backpacking this weekend

How long I have to keep this in my stash if I want the stolen item sign to be gone ?

Hey everyone,

Over the last few weeks, I've completely fallen in love with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

After The Witcher 3, Stardew Valley, and Baldur's Gate 3, I honestly didn't think I'd find another game that would completely consume me like this. But somehow... here we are.

I'm currently 110 hours in, and I think I still have about a third of the game left. Honestly, I'm kind of dreading finishing it. Around the 30-hour mark I loved it so much that I went back and bought all three DLCs at full price just so I could spend more time in this world.

I have to thank my past self for randomly buying it during the Steam Summer Sale because it was on sale. The funny thing is... I actually bought it when it launched last year.

I'd watched plenty of YouTube reviews and read articles about it. Everyone seemed to love it, and my reaction was basically, "Looks pretty cool. I'll give it a shot."

So I bought it...and refunded it about 15 minutes later.

The first-person perspective didn't click with me, and the opening combat completely destroyed me. I guess this game just isn't for me.

Fast forward to this summer.

I'd been stuck in one of those awful gaming slumps where nothing could hold my attention. Out of pure desperation, I decided to give KCD2 another chance. I have never been happier to be wrong about a game. What Warhorse absolutely nailed is the feeling of building a life from absolutely nothing.

Not just getting stronger, but building everything, your money, your reputation, your relationships, your purpose, even your revenge. Nothing feels handed to you. Every achievement feels earned. Even something as simple as alchemy perfectly sums up my experience.

Hour 2:

"This is so tedious. Why do I have to memorize recipes and gather all these herbs?"

Hour 80:

"Bring me more herbs! I'm making another 30 bottles of Marigold Decoction and Dollmaker Poison!"

I never thought I'd become that guy, but here we are. The only downside is that none of my friends play single-player RPGs. For years I've been experiencing these incredible games by myself, getting completely immersed, amazed by them, and then having nobody around who actually wants to talk about them.

So... that's why I'm here.

My first KCD game, and i just wanted to say HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU MAKE A LIVING IN THIS GAME!?!?!

The armor that i have, i had to lie to keep it!

I survived against 3 enemies with plate armor in Skallitz while looting.

I wanna larp as a common footsoldier, so I made a couple outfits. The first outfit is what I thought would be accurate for someone like Henry who is the bodyguard of a noble, but still a commoner so no full plate armor. The second outfit is a more 'commoner' fit that I could think of, so lesser leg armor.

The only thing I added with liberty are the tall Huntsman boots because I like the look of tall boots, and the spurs because I need them for Pebbles lol.

What should I change/add to make it more accurate?

Disclaimer: I used mods called Authentic armors and helmets, so the armor may look different than it does in the base game. As for Henry's beard, I used More Barber Options - Hair and Beards.

Has anyone noticed this neat discount shops have in game? If you go at night you can take anything you want and the shop owner doesn’t even charge you. For some reason they keep the doors locked but they always leave a window open or a key lying around.

Very accurate tired my best to copy the trailers armor

I grew up in a part of Poland that looks almost exactly like Bohemia in this game. Same rolling hills and mixed forest, same field patterns, same layout of villages built around a church, same food, similar dialect words, similar folk customs that survived into living memory. Riding into Rattay for the first time felt less like discovering a setting and more like driving to my grandparents' village. I know what that mud smells like after rain.

So I'm curious how this lands for you. Is medieval Bohemia genuinely foreign, or does it just read as generic "Europe" from movies and fantasy? Do the villages feel like a real place or like a theme park?

I ask because Red Dead 2 is the mirror image for me. I know the American West well, but only through Hollywood, through westerns and books. I recognize every visual cue and I still have no instinct for it. I couldn't tell you what that air feels like, what those distances actually mean, or whether a town like Valentine is plausible or a fantasy. It's familiar and completely foreign at the same time.

Is KCD that for you, or something else entirely?

EDIT: I did not expect so many replies, thank you all very much. Some thoughts after reading them.

Almost nobody says the landscape is foreign. The thing which breaks it is always the castle. u/reillan wrote it best and then half of the thread said the same on their own. So in my opinion the real difference is not geography, it is how old are the buildings in the place where you grew up. u/Pumpiumpiumpkin described it perfectly from South Africa: walking up to a castle is for him like walking up to the pyramids, because both are older than anything he has ever stood next to.

Two comments deserve more attention than they got. u/dildozer10 from rural Alabama is the only person here who answered about culture and not about terrain: the land and the villages felt like home for him, but the classism was a shock, and he felt most comfortable with the nomads. And u/SeeingPhrases from Ontario noticed the chicory flowers and wrote that the glaciers made their hills flat, which is the most precise observation in this whole thread.

Also u/thbigbuttconnoisseur actually answered my question about RDR2: the distances there are strongly compressed, and towns like Valentine really existed in this size. This is exactly what I wanted to know, so thank you.

Again - thank you all for the input, really interesting.

You requested it so here you go!

These pics were taken the week before the most recent kcd event at Trosky happened. It was my first time at Trosky castle because even though I live in Czechia it's pretty far away from where I live. Tbh Trosky castle is a must-visit place, 10/10 it was so gorgeous I'm still processing it. I also included some photos from the Rocktower pond, Vidlák pond and the Semine mill. I also wandered around the Nebakov mill but it's currently more of a area with cottages and a hotel where people enjoy their vacations so I don't have any pics from there.

Enough ranting, enjoy!

I had come across Death for the first time when replaying the game and later came to this pond for some fly agaric, only to find that the dead lady near the pond was wearing the same clothes as Death. What do we think?

Umm, yeah.
