Poll of the Day > Holy shit, Kingdom Come is frustrating as hell

(+) Yeah! (+)

This game has no quality-of-life mechanics whatsoever. Might as well be called "go fuck yourself: The Game"

It's pretty fun overall and I don't know if that makes it worse or better.

@Mead can help...

It's not that I need help. I'm progressing well enough.

It's just that the save system and the map is gaaaarbage. And other small things.

Just download the save mod. It makes the game much more manageable.

I mean, I appreciate what they were trying to do, but I'm not looking for a game to give me a chore.

The save system seems excessive.

Yep, I got it as soon as I saw saves were 70 bucks a piece LOOOOL

It was one of the first things I did. Even then, it's still a pain in the ass because the game creates a new save file every time you do save, and there are no in-game options to delete them. And after a certain point, you have to overwrite saves because for whatever reason, the game doesn't want you to have too many of them. It's a giant clusterfuck.

Mount and Blade does this same hardcore shit, but it gives you the option to play without it. And it makes sense in that game, since it's so self-contained.

KCD is way too massive for that crap.

It's a mediocre game tbh. Had potential but they squandered it. What pissed me off the most is that they took away skill and just made it a boring grind or impossible battle with the more advanced enemies if your stats weren't high enough. Advance enemies automatically guarded all of your attacks instantly and riposted immediately. I gave up on it after playing it for a few hours and never looked back.

It's no Skyrim, it's like you can't just kill a whole village and have no consequences!

A few tips

Learn to read. Ask any scribe and they can point you in the right direction. Once you can read you can make save potions yourself at an alchemy station, you have the recipe by default.

Herbalism. Seriously just pick up plants. After a couple levels you get a permanent bonus to your stamina, the skill has great perks, and at higher levels picking herbs will actually raise your strength stat. Also selling herbs by the hundreds can make you some serious coin, just load up your horse when you start getting overburdened.

Progress through the main quest until you meet a guy named Captain Bernard. After a couple of quests you can train with him for free in all sorts of combat. He teaches you some new tricks and it is a great way to raise your combat stats.

Oh, thought this was about the comic miniseries/graphic novel where DC heroes start killing criminals.

That's not the issue.

Also, to add to this, find a soldier that looks like he has good armor and knock him out somewhere where he's isolated (save beforehand obviously). Then just stuff his armor in your bedroom chest so it'll lose its stolen attribute.

Easy way to get some awesome armor right at the beginning of the game. Can also be done to get some cash from selling too.
