The game is good ya'll. Shitty learning curve (and I mean, steeeeep!) but I like it a lot. Got yelled at by my in-game mom, got to do chores for my ingame dad (a super good blacksmith with a MYSTERIOUS backstory), beat up some drunks, got beer for him as well as charcoal, get swordsman lessons from a dude strongly implied by the townspeople to be a highwayman, seduced TWO ladies, and threw poop at a German noble's house. Shit rules man. The quest where you're grounded by the old lord of the castle you retreat to, and have to find a way out to bury your dead family is infuriatingly impossible if you fuck up persuasion checks on some of the characters (talking your way out). I managed to succeed with the lowest bidder, where a guard took pity on me and said if I came out wearing guard armor he'd let me out. Unfortunately, the chest in the watchtower was locked. Get a lockpick, no problem, right? Well the smuggler/fence selling the lockpicks is a dick, and they are more expensive than they have any reason to be, and I have NO idea how to make money since Henry is a broke-ass son of a craftsman. So I'm gonna have to reload a save.

This game has the funniest drunk mode this side of GTA IV. I was staggering through a forest blasted on Cheap Wine and found a village, and just as the "New Location Discovered" ticker came up on the screen, Henry let out a massive fart.

* As soon as I had reached the safety of the castle walls, and had a chance to reflect on my village and family getting oblitered, I went into the kitchen and tried (unsuccessfully) to haggle for a pretzel. * Got into a fracas in the bathhouse, but lucked out when the guard they sent to arrest me had a sword made out of thin air and thus, couldn't do any damage to me with his slashes. * Gave up for the night when I murdered an NPC I had to steal a ring from, then couldn't get out of the room the corpse was in because the door was too narrow.

I have a really low reputation in the starting town because I got caught choking out the owner of the bathhouse on a stealth mission one time. And everytime I go back to get a wash, she runs off into the woods to get away from me.
Starting to get a bit inconvenient. That's the only bathhouse I know of. Having to wash in water troughs now.
Also the crushing feeling that this game isn't that good, doesn't do anything with regards to medieval life simulation Mount and Blade didn't do better, and that I should've just gotten Dragon Ball is starting to get to me.

I got blood on my sword and I can't get it off (not a sex thing, the one woman I've bedded looked to be past that sort of thing).

Favourite part of this game was eating the pretzels I found on my parent's charred corpses.

I just bought it. Finishing up Watchdogs 2 first Well then I'm sorry I mentioned your parents die without a spiler warning. In my defence they're death flagging pretty hard whenever they're on screen.

lol. It's a coming of age saga. If your parents were doing fine, it wouldn't pack the same punch.
*Wreckage of burning ranch* "I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!" "I'm so sorry for your loss. Your parents were kind people." "My parents? Oh they're fine. They were on vacation in Boca. I'm talking about getting revenge for the property damage. Have you any idea how much my insurance is going to go up?"

This is basically what it feels like to play Kingdom Come the more I learn about Daniel Vavra.

This was weird: So last night before work I get to the Talmberg Horse Race mission. I try it a few times and get thoroughly outpaced / lost. So I shut down for the night, and come back today. I reload, and my competitors get on their horses and trot away. Not race, trot. I think it's a bug, reload again. Happens 3 times. On the third time, I'm sitting there stumped, wondering how the hell I'm going to get back a day's worth of play (my last save was a day back because I cleaned out the repeats). Out of puerile curiosity I try talking to Sir Divish. He's mad that no one else showed up for the race and awards me the contract I was there to win in the first place!

This game's quests are just generally an insane mess.
At the beginning bit, where you have to escape Talmberg, I did it by jumping off the castle walls, punching up the guards who tried to detain me, going to jail, being released (into the village) and just walking. I'm not sure that was supposed to be a valid option.

I'm stuck on the Waldensians quest. After trekking over hill and dale multiple times to figure out that there are heretics, I go to get proof / help them escape and I can't hit the button prompt. Well I can hit it, but nothing happens.
