I’m a bugger for skipping in-game instructions, so I’ve made the game 10 x harder than it should be. Only through messing around with menus have I recently discovered that I can only have 3 side-quests active at any one time. No wonder I’ve been struggling to complete some of the quests!
Although, my biggest issue has been trying to find the time to really enjoy the game because it isn’t one to rush through and grabbing an hour here and there hasn’t been ideal.
I’ve just found a pretty decent bow, which is great because using a bow as my main was my intention when starting the game, but I haven’t yet figured out how to use it, or if I need to create complete arrows with the various arrow heads that I have in my inventory.

I never knew that about the quests
Also yeah you have to have arrows equipped as well as the bow to use it, I've never made any but found/looted a bunch over time as I usually get only one shot in before I have to go to my sword

Yes, specially at night. The rain looks like milk falling from the sky. I hope modders do something about it soon

Yeah the rain is truly awful, plus it 100% always bugs out for me where it will be there one second gone the next and then back again until it just goes away for good after like 2 minutes cause I think it crashes the weather lol

As far as I know you can't craft arrows. You have to equip both bow and arrows. And you'll have to practice a LOT to be good with it.
Try shooting archery targets and wild animals to increase your marksmanship skill.
Also read books, pay skill teachers to help you.
And keep in my mind that some important perks aren't in the marksmanship skill tree.

To the folks saying this game didn't click, that's too bad. Because it's subjectively objectively GOTY.

Still getting my ass kicked in most combat scenarios. Why do I suck so bad?
You should practice combat in the training arena and leveling up your stats. Then, it will become easier.

If you go with bows, you should pair it with some poison for the arrows. Pretty OP...

Tag, you're it.
That's pretty good! On my 4090 I'm gaining something like 10FPS.
Is this safe? I mean will I get random crashes or artifacts/etc? I have a 4070 super btw

Toledo steel? Finally a game to appeal to us spaniards! 
I'm finding it well written when it wants to be serious, but also very funny when it wants to. I swear I've laughed out loud a few times and usually no game manages to do that.

Yeah this is why the writing is strong in this one. Its so well done. I love the silly characters and conversations and some of Henrys replies are just gold

I love this photorealistic style more than anything. So insanely immersive.
Warhorse are among the top tier creme de la creme of this industry. You can complain about jank or whatever, but this game has vastly deeper mechanics than pretty much 100% of other AAA games.

Fextra updated their KCD2 dice page to show the actual % chance for each side: https://kingdomcomedeliverance2.wiki.fextralife.com/Dice
BUT! I am almost positive that KCD2 has some fudgery happening because I have 2 Pie Die, 2 Lucky Die, and 2 Cautious Cheater's Die in my set. That is around a 20% chance of getting at least 3 one's when all six are rolled together, but it's only happened once out of ~20 rolls.

Oof things get spicy after the wedding, i kinda felt... bad on my first important decision after that and loaded the game again to act different, and things can really change depending on your choices i can tell but i'm going to play fair and move back to the first decision i made
Insane game so far
More Cryengine games please

Yeah. Took your guys advice. Watched YouTube videos.
Spent 2.5 hours on Bernard. Learned master strikes.
I still don't fucking get it lol. I practiced with him, and he just keeps destroying me. He just dodges, or ripostes, or when I try to perfect parry the window to get it is so tight that 80% of the time I miss it.
Like he'll have the sword above his head. And I think "ok, I'll hit him from the bottom." Nope, just brings the sword down on me.
I couldn't even do these master strikes he taught me. I was ok in the tutorial. Then when I went to practice with him, poof. Nothing was working.
Anyways, deleted the game. Gave it my best shot. Thanks for the advice guys.

Then why bother with master strikes at all? I don’t use them either and still manage fighting pretty well, especially with the perks available.
Uninstalling the game for such a minor thing that can easily be ignored is akin to a childs temper tantrum.

He is a captain of the guard., a seasoned veteran fighter. Maybe do some practice (Bernard offer the service) and level up your peasant Henry first before challenging the next level fight. Stats matter too. Low STR make your swing weak and easy to block too

GOTY? I think it may be the best RPG I've ever played. In any year.

Yesterday it was the first time I snapped and killed someone publicly. I just wanted to play some fair game of dice and that bastard rolled 6x 1s on his first attempt. So, he is not in my game anymore. I accepted the punishment and lost some reputation, but it was worth it.

The story is way better than I expected. I want to know what happens next.
I doubt any other RPG will be better than KCD2 in 2025.

This game never fails to make me laugh 
While it was my intention to progress forward after the wedding/bell quests it turns out I missed some stuff here including a pretty big questline with the miller, cue another 20 more hours in the starting region, will make the eventual move to greener pastures all the sweeter.

Yeah I can agree. Immersive, well written and with lots of different gameplay mechanics, all backed up by the system and usual RPG number crunching.
First game was a surprise for me and an instant favorite, and this one is even better.

I was around the Trotsky castle in a grass field and the clouds happened to block out the sun, the game right then looked photo realistic.
Hit me right in the feels, reminded me of exploring this as a kid.

Big mistake yeah. I'm finding all the sidequests to be great, each one with their own nicely written characters and surprises in the stories they tell.
Like how a mission about finding a hermit in the woods can lead to you fighting against a bunch of inquisitors. You never know where those sidequests are going to lead you, it's never dull stuff.

Just wondering if anybody can help on the part I'm stuck on
Sir Hans is asking me to "bring him his armour", when I try to give it to him, he complains it's not good enough and to bring him some better armour
I repaired 2 pieces of the armour, and he accepted them, now I'm stuck with the other three pieces in my inventory, and he won't take them, even when I try and repair one of the remaining 3 to 100% health and give it to him, he won't accept it
The door to the area is locked, and I can't leave without doing this first, so I'm unable to get any more gold to even attempt to fix the other three pieces of armour
Do I really need to fix up all 5 pieces of armour to 100% health before he'll accept them, because the guides I'm reading are saying you only need to repair two of them to make the quest progress
This is at the end of the first castle, possibly just before I hit the second map
Honestly not sure if I'm just missing something obvious here or the game has soft locked itself

If it is anything like the first game ( I am 5+ hours in and no bow yet, lol) there may be archery competitions. In KCD1 I would go to the bow guy near the town with the drunk priest and pay the 5 or 10 coins to do the competition. He gives you arrows to use each time. Choose beginner competition and if you win (not hard when the others suck more) you get your money back and a cut of the others entry, plus archery experience without having to waste your own arrows. I leveled up my bow skills a lot like this in the first game.

What is that last photo of? Where is that? Were you able to explore that on your own or was it some guided tour? I would of loved that then and now, being big into history. Most I got to explore were closed down Insane Asylums, abandoned pocono mountain resort, old hotels, homes and factories. A castle would of been the jackpot.Yeah the visuals are sometime stunning.

How many hours have you played?
I played 48.5 hours and the flaws really became evident around the time I finished the first part of the game and into the second. I've barely been playing it lately now.

After how many hours? I love the combat and im trying to avoid using master strike, because it makes it so easy. I feel like im too powerful now, i just dueled someone in the story and 2 shotted him

Just now?
Yes because I have been avoiding combat so far to be honest, and today I decided to focus on reading and improving my sword skills and defeating Tomcat. Yeah you are right that it makes the combat a bit easier but still I feel like its really satisfying to be able to parry enemies. Where are you now? Did you arrive to the big city?

No spoilers but I had a moment in this game today.
I said something I shouldn't have. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Then that little nugget snowballed into a bigger thing, and then it grew to a really big thing until that one slip of the tongue had cornered me into making 1 of 2 choices, and both were shit. I witnessed some pretty terrible stuff as a result of my carelessness.
I've NEVER had a game like this do anything like this before that I can recall.
