If the combat is actually like Chivalry, it's a day one purchase for me. Chiv combat in an RPG would be like a dream come true. I highly doubt that's the case, though.

e: imagine looking at a historical game set in 15th-century Bohemia and complaining about the lack of racial diversity, how far gone you would have to be for that. It's like a parody. If the lead dev is an rear end in a top hat during interviews or something, that's fair enough, but this particular complaint is nonsense.

I don't think anyone will dispute the fact that there were traders from all over the known world in major European cities. I was under the impression that people were complaining that random-rear end villages didn't have black people in them. That's stupid. I'm very sceptical as to this claim of Europe in 1400 outside of the Iberian peninsula and the Balkans being 5% black (what? did they mean North African?) and 5% Middle Eastern. And the barrier here isn't 'race', which didn't exist yet as such, but religion. Religious conformity was strictly enforced at the time, and people coming in from outside cultures would usually be quickly absorbed by the local population instead of being allowed to form minority communities. If you saw them or their descendants in Europe at any given point in time, they likely would be indistinguishable from the natives other than a slightly darker complexion, if even that.

On the other hand, that period in time did coincide almost exactly with the arrival of the Roma in the area, so if that is reflected in the game somehow it could be interesting.

Would you say this is a bad game for racists?

Glad I didn’t pre-order or anything. An unproven developer with a greedy publisher trying to get $60 seems a bit absurd.

People are saying the mechanics look janky, and some of the devs are dicks. Haven't had the time to take a good look at it myself, but it sounds like I'll be waiting for reviews to come out before I pick it up, if at all.

Going off of the previews so far this thing is going to be such a mess. What's worse it's around the top seller spot on Steam at the moment.

It surprises me that this became so popular. Like that other goon said, I saw it mentioned in the blurb for an nVidia driver update. It's weird as this originally struck me as an obscure game for nerds (like me), but it seems to have broad appeal.

I'm hype about the idea that the game presents, so I'm kind of leaning on the idea that most of the fuckups will be patched relatively quickly now that it's out. Even the big things like not being able to clearly tell when you're under a status effect is just a matter of throwing an icon on the UI.

That said, it's amazing we have slid this far into "all new releases are beta builds", especially considering the game was in production for four years

I'm in the same boat. No way am I playing this before the first round of patches, but I'm planning on getting around to it as the concept is interesting.

In the starter town I get 40fps at 2560x1600, gtx 970 & 8700k. All minimum settings. Seems this game wants something better hardware wise.

I doubt it's a well-optimized game, but on the other hand, I'm not surprised a GTX 970 no longer always cuts it when playing on a resolution higher than 1080p.

Even pubg runs better these days :v:

I'd upgrade but the gpu prices have not been reasonable for a reasonable upgrade. I paid 380€ for this, what can you get for 380€ these days? Nothing. 6GB 1060 is around 350-400€ for 15% difference in performance...

I got a GTX 1070 (combined with an i7-6700k) for not much more almost two years ago, and I'm very satisfied with it. But as I understand, real prices have actually increased since then, due to the dumb Bitcoin craze.

What I'd do in your situation is turn down your resolution to something with the same aspect ratio, I'd say you have some margin there.

Someone else with a GTX 970 was having trouble, but he was playing at 2560x1600. If you're on 1080p you'll probably be fine at medium settings.

It does seem to conform to expectations both in the positive and the negative sense. It's definitely staying on my wish list.

How do you raise Speech in this game, do you just talk to people? Can I talk to the same peasant wench over and over to grind my Speech?

protip: you can also punch the horses near mum & dads house, if they path towards mum and dads house when they flee you are basically guaranteed easy levels in warfare, strength and unarmed combat

watch out for guards because if they catch you punching horses they will resist your persuasion attempts and throw you in prison where you will die over an 80 coin fine. No matter how many times you flee and surrender and try to explain this is an important mission from important guy that requires horses to be punched.

Hahaha

I'm hearing you can grind endlessly during the tutorial, but it's just certain skills? Lockpicking? Jumping, which is apparently a skill?

Is anyone really upset that there's no Czech voice actors in this game or is that just me?

Would have been cool for immersion, but there are only 10 million Czech speakers. It wouldn't be worth the effort from the devs' point of view. It's like how Larian games don't have Dutch voice acting, and Dutch is a significantly bigger language.

I guess Slovakians could understand it (?) but that's still only 16 million people tops.

Slav languages are mostly really similar with exceptions here and there in specific vocab, case marking rules, etc.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Poles, Lithuanians, Serbs/Croats/Balkans people, and Russians should have little problem understanding a lot of spoken Czech.

Lithuanian's not a Slavic language, but yes, I've also heard that the Slavic languages are quite similar to each other.

And the Netherlands. One time I was in Rotterdam and had a spur of the moment desire to drive to Bruges. But nope, because it's Easter Sunday I can only pick up cars that I have booked ahead of time, but not rent on the spot, even though they have cars, and people working, at the rental place. How are you guys a modern secular country in the 21st century?

I'm Flemish myself, but I work full-time and even I'm annoyed at how hard is to do any shopping during the week. When I leave for work, stores haven't opened yet. When I get home, most of them are closed already. Who are they selling to?

It's a remnant of the medieval corporatist guild mentality (which I suppose is still preferable to a full-on slide into liberal dystopia), so I'm not surprised to see it in Kingdom Come.
