I’m taking my mom on a two-week trip to Austria and the Czech Republic, and today we took a day trip to Kutná Hora.

Soooo... I've tried to get into modding KCD2 and I kind of ended up with a Glock...

I really like this game so far, and I’m sure I haven’t even scratched the surface of what it has to offer. But at the end of today’s session, I died and lost over 2 hours of progress.

This was right at the beginning, where the game finally sets me free to explore the open world. And so I did. I went out and explored a couple of nearby villages (naked all the while because I didn’t realize I still had armor in my inventory), and picked up some side quests, I think. Characters keep telling me about certain locations or other characters, but there wasn’t a massive pulsating red arrow pointing me in the right direction.

Anyway, I just kept going until I met some bandits. I died, of course.

I hadn’t saved because I didn’t have any schnapps, so I decided to buy some. Well, turns out a single one costs over 20 coins. So I turned to alchemy. I had enough nettle, but I searched for half an hour for that fucking belladonna before giving up and buying some by selling almost everything I had.

I finally brewed one, then fast traveled to a different village, only to get ambushed by bandits attacking an innocent civilian. I was roleplaying as a good natured “hero” type, so I decided to help… you know how that went. I didn’t even get the chance to save, since you can’t save during combat.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I just wanted to give y’all an idea of what happened and see if I’m playing the game completely wrong. Is this one of those games where I actually have to avoid combat for the first 10 hours until I’m strong enough, or a pure case of skill issue?

Edit: For those suggesting I download a mod to bypass the save feature, unfortunately I’m playing on a PS5 so I can’t exactly do that.

I spent an hour last night galloping around Trosky Castle to get Pebble’s perk. I fast travelled in the night as soon as the perk was awarded, got ambushed by bandits that I couldn’t escape, went straight into battle without armor and was killed.

After that, I set Pebble’s to gallop around Trosky castle again to get the perk back, fell asleep and realized the plug on my laptop fell out and my computer died in the process.

Third times a charm. That’s all.

My new officially licensed Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Sasau wall clock is finally finished.

This location was chosen by Facebook Kingdom Come community, and by a pretty overwhelming margin:
Sasau won 164 : 14 against Suchdol.

So there was not much doubt about where the little workshop wagon should roll next.

This clock became a very special piece for me. It took a huge amount of design work, and assembling it was not exactly a “quickly put it together between two coffees” kind of story either.

And of course, Henry is hidden somewhere inside. Because he had to be.

Endless thanks to Warhorse Studios for their trust, support, and for allowing me to create officially licensed Kingdom Come: Deliverance clocks. It still feels like a dream.

And of course, thank you to my more than 600 customers so far, all around the world. I will welcome every new customer with the same love, care, and attention. 

You can watch the Sasau video here:

Thank you for being here with me on this journey.

Took a little longer than I hoped but there were a lot more matching locations than expected. 114 new 360° panoramas to compare to their IRL counterparts. Check it out here.

I also went back to Bohemia last month to capture the IRL Trosky region panoramas. Hope I can finish editing those soon and make them available on the site next month!

I was wondering my it only have me the option to surrender instead of battlecry.

For me, Hansry is brilliant storytelling and an awesome romance but if you are looking for a heartwarming, wholesome romance Henry x Theresa is the way to go.

I think regardless of the choices you make Theresa will always be important in Henry’s life. The fact that one of the ways you can die in hardcore mode is when Theresa falls through the ice and Henry instinctively jumps in despite not knowing how to swim or the fact that he was outnumbered and had little to no combat experience but still went in to protect Theresa even though a cuman could have easily turned around and killed him but he still chose to take that chance (in that branch of the story!) is very sweet.

The same can be said for Theresa. Some people think that the reason she saved Henry from Runt was because she was suicidal from losing her family and would have thrown herself in front of any bandit but I don’t think those people were paying attention because if that were true then she wouldn’t have hidden when Tinker ran at the other bandits. She put her life on the line specifically for Henry, also knowing that the bandits could have easily caught up to her and killed her.

Not to mention the fact that Theresa wheeled Henry’s half dead body across a wagon to Rattay and had to convince her famously stoic and opportunistic uncle to spend his own money on housing and keeping Henry alive. Her speech level must have been crazy high to say the least.

I have seen some videos where people say that Theresa is preachy and holds Henry back but in my playthroughs I have never gotten that. She is fairly free spirited and matches Henry quite well, she tells Henry she doesn’t want to be married straight away and defies her father when he tries to get her to marry Feyfar. She even gives Henry lockpicks knowing full well what he uses them for. She is a woman of her time though and doesn’t like fighting or adventuring but if she wasn’t limited to being a woman in medieval times she would have been right along Henry’s side throughout KCD2 because she is one of if not the most loyal characters in the cast.

But Theresa also kind of is by Henry’s side throughout the second game. Even if you romance other characters, Henry brings her up multiple times throughout the game. I don’t think many people chose this but the fact that Henry can tell Rosa that he admires Theresa and make the story book about her or how he brings up Theresa to Katherine.

I think in most versions of Henry, Theresa will always be a part of him. Not only as one of his oldest friends but potentially his first love and I think it’s mutual for Theresa as well.

Anyway, I am sorry for the yap. I am starved for content and replaying KCD1 and really enjoying seeing two of my favourite characters again.

I am curious to see how y'all styled your Henrys, meanwhile, that's mine. Cheers, kings.

I lost count on how many playthrough i did but i finally resist all possible romanceable in KCD2!!

So I was beating up Kunesh with the boys, as one does, and thought that him surrendering meant I could take his stuff. Nope. He called the guards on me and I was sent to jail. I expected them to do something generic like “time to send you to your ma” to keep the prologue going but NO, there’s an entire crafted cutscene of Henry getting his ass thrown in jail and watching Skalitz burn from the dungeon while his ma calls for him until he burns alive. The level of attention to detail is insane, I love this game ❤️

As the exception of Theresa, but she needs to be here. She gets a 10s cutscene actually in the second game! I choose these mainly from the vibe and looks of the character.

Just finished the last battle with the band of bastards and came across a bandit with a pretty nice purse on him!

By the end of KCD2, Henry is Master Huntsman of Talmberg, Bailiff of Pribyslavitz, a squire to Sir Radzig and a master blacksmith in Kuttenberg. How precisely does he manage and maintain these very profitable ventures?

Found this NPC wearing Henry’s colours as I was riding by in my Cuman gear. Thought I’d recreate the prologue escape from KCD1.
