Never played it but wasn't Kingdom Come: Deliverance sus and it's dev a reactionary goobergater?
This. It's pretending to be a realistic portrayal of a historical period, but all that means is no PoC and you're a commoner who can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Also the sword fighting mechanics are fucking atrocious
I like what they were trying to do but it gets annoying really fast when you fight more than one enemy at a time. And one could say that the point is that you are are an ordinary commoner and can't fight more than one person at a time without great difficulty but if that's the case then why is the relatively easy solution most of the time to kite them so the AI forces itself to line up and let you take them on one at a time.
It had a toxic as fuck fandom and lots of "historical accuracy" pretenses that amounted to because the accents were all over the place and it got some downright fundamental details laughably wrong (yeah, kill one of a noble's guards and you'll totally just go to jail for a few days), but I wouldn't call it comprehensive chuddery.
It was also boring as fuck and decided that having a three hour intro is a great way to start your game
Ayn Rand delivery method.
when i first heard about it i was really excited for it because it was described by a few different sources as being inspired by darklands. when it came out and i read more about it I decided not to play it, it would be so sick to have a new darklands but chuds have claimed "historical accuracy" in the medieval era as their own and it sucks.
Yeah, I picked it up at a steep discount and went looking for info. Noped on out right quick
My friends highly recommended this game to me.
Once you get to the first little town area a guy is talking shit about the king. Your friends overhear him and decide they're gonna lynch him and you should help.
Your dialogue options are basically:
"Yeah fuck that guy lets do it."
or
"Fuck that guy, but I have shit to do."
I uninstalled immediately.
