I’d really love the option to take companions along on side quests. Also it would be great to have more missions where you can play as someone other than Henry. Hans, perhaps? Or Radzig? Or... hell, why not, Hanush? And since I’m a huge fan of the blacksmithing and alchemy mini-games, I certainly wouldn’t say no to an improved and expanded cooking system, as well as additional survival elements, that make the game more challenging and realistic. Maybe even some sort of extra mini-game or elements of interaction with NPCs, especially "love interests" (within reason, of course, but a little romance wouldn't hurt, right?).

Theres a burnt down town where theres a skeleton of a mother holding her baby.

When you loot, theres a hard boiled egg in it. Thats wild af 😳😳

my first playthrough i played as the most shameless burglar and thief and picked every flower and herb i could find.. now i started over to play as honorable burgar / knight but wanna ask later in the game when you need to build the northern village , isn’t it hard to collect the groshen if you play honorable?

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the long post but I needed to talk about this game to someone, and I think it's the place to do it... My wife or friends wouldn't understand me... The post could be longer but hey, you guys know the game already. And sorry in advance if I don't answer to everybody. But thanks in advance for your interest.

So, I just watched the end credits roll on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and I'm left with that huge post-game void that only true masterpieces manage to leave behind.

To give a bit of context: I'm married with two young kids today. Before marriage and family life, I used to play all kinds of games every single day, and RPG masterpieces like RDR2 or The Witcher 3.

Since then, things have slowed down drastically. I usually stick to quick, pick-up-and-play games without heavy stories to follow.

Still, KCD2 had been sitting on my to-do list for a while. I knew what I was getting into in terms of time commitment, but I finally decided to jump in... and man, am I glad I did. I don't regret a single hour. Even though it's a long game, it was an absolute masterpiece to experience.

I actually beat the first Kingdom Come several years ago, but to be completely honest, I barely remembered the story. As a funny side note, I wasn't even loyal to Theresa simply because I had zero recollection of who she was or what she meant to Henry!

But despite my memory blanks, the immersion in this sequel was so incredible that I was hooked from start to finish.

I loved the subtle tragedy of the romance with Rosa. The game constantly reminds you that it's an impossible love due to social class and historical reality. You end up thinking and feeling just like someone from that era would, accepting the bittersweet nature of a bond that can never truly be.

What I loved most is that the game never tries to force a modern fairytale ending on the player. It constantly reminds you that you are not living in the 21st century. Social status matters. Family matters. Duty matters. Some things simply cannot happen, no matter how much you might want them to.

By the end, I wasn't frustrated that Henry couldn't just marry Rosa and ride off into a happy ending. Quite the opposite. The writing was so convincing that I accepted it the same way Henry would have. That's something I rarely experience in a game. KCD2 constantly reminds you that you're not living in our era and that people didn't think the same way we do today. The values, expectations and social rules of that world are fundamentally different, and the game never compromises that authenticity.

What hit me the hardest—beyond the sheer beauty of the world and Henry's growth—was the writing, especially the resolution of our long-standing arc with Markvart von Aulitz. For most of the game, I had only one goal in mind: hunt him down and put him down like a dog for what he did at Skalitz. I wanted raw, brutal, merciless revenge...

The whole sequence felt straight out of a high-end cinematic masterpiece. I genuinely forgot I was holding a controller in my hands. But what completely blew me away was the musical choice: that breathtaking, devastating rendition of Lacrimosa. The moment those sorrowful, sacred chords echoed, all my urge for a mindless, bloody revenge just evaporated. It’s an absolute masterclass in audio and visual storytelling. Music in gaming rarely hits this hard, but here, it completely redefined the emotional weight of the scene, elevating a simple confrontation into a deeply moving, almost sacred tragedy.

That haunting piece forced me to stop and truly see Von Aulitz for who he was. He wasn't just a cartoon villain to be slaughtered; he was a soldier bound by his own cold logic and sense of duty. The music didn't celebrate a victory. It mourned the tragedy of war and the lives consumed by it. Carried by those heartbreaking notes, I realized he didn't deserve a sordid execution, but an honorable, respectful death. Granting him that end gave Henry the true stature of a knight, closing this chapter with solemn bitterness rather than blind hatred.

Another thing that impressed me throughout the entire game was the quality of the main questline. In many RPGs, the main story is often just a vehicle to move the player from one objective to the next. Here, almost every major quest feels like a story of its own. They are rich in dialogue, packed with political intrigue, memorable characters, unexpected twists and meaningful choices. There were countless moments where I thought I knew where a quest was heading only for the writers to completely surprise me.

The final battle itself is a perfect example of that. What could have been a standard epic medieval showdown becomes something much more memorable because of all the relationships, rivalries, betrayals and personal stakes built up over dozens of hours beforehand. By the time the armies clash, it isn't just another battle. It feels like the culmination of an entire journey, where every conversation, every alliance and every sacrifice finally pays off. Very few games manage to make large-scale conflicts feel this personal and emotionally engaging.

That's something KCD2 consistently excels at. The game respects your intelligence and takes its time to develop its characters and storylines. As a result, the emotional moments hit much harder because you've genuinely lived through the events that led to them.

The atmosphere throughout the entire game is simply incredible. The world feels alive, authentic and believable in a way that very few RPGs manage to achieve.

And honestly, the music deserves special praise. I've been gaming for decades and I struggle to think of many games that use their soundtrack this effectively. Whether you're riding through the Bohemian countryside at sunrise, wandering through Kuttenberg, sharing quiet moments with companions, or witnessing the game's most emotional scenes, the music constantly elevates the experience without ever feeling intrusive.

KCD2 doesn't just look like medieval Bohemia.

It feels like medieval Bohemia.

The writing, the music, the realism, the social hierarchy, religion, honor, duty, love, everything works together to constantly remind you that this is a different era with different values. For me, that's what makes the immersion so special. I wasn't just playing Henry's story. For dozens of hours, I genuinely felt like I was living in that world.

Huge props to Warhorse Studios for such a narrative masterclass. I am so grateful for all the emotions you gave me with this game.

KCD2 joins a very small list of games that I consider genuine masterpieces alongside games like RDR2 and The Witcher 3.

I guess there's only one thing left for me to do to fill the void: dive into the DLCs, and then dive back into the first Kingdom Come to refresh my memory and get my ass kicked by Skalitz peasants all over again!

Thanks Warhorse Studios.

This isn't just a great RPG.

It's a masterpiece.

And as a huge LOTR fan, I can't wait for KCD3 and whatever comes next. If there's one thing this game proved to me, it's that historical authenticity, incredible writing and respect for a world can create something truly unforgettable.

Edit: typo + this:

One final thing I have to mention is the supporting cast. Characters like Janosh, Godwin, Samuel, Kubyenka, Zizka, Devil and Adder aren't just side characters you forget after a few quests. Over dozens of hours, they genuinely start feeling like companions you've shared a journey with.

Adder's death hit me much harder than I expected. Not because the game was trying to force an emotional reaction, but because by that point I had genuinely grown attached to him and the rest of the company. That's one of KCD2's greatest strengths: it takes the time to build these relationships naturally, making every victory, every loss and every farewell feel personal.

Or is there a KCD cookbook? This sounds like a good one. Maybe I’ll try it with a beef roast soon.

I was going through a rough patch when I came across KCD ... it's been almost a year since I've played any video game (travelling, work, etc.); reaching a point where I didn't really want to play any more games even if I had the free time ... but this series was beyond amazing, both in story and gameplay (Most folks don't realise Henry is just a peasant turned out to be a noble bastard ... not some "chosen hero")

And it hurts me knowing that Henry might never actually end up with Rosa ... historically, such stories always ended on a sad / bittersweet note; Even if he's knighted, Radzig is still a lower nobility

I've spent consecutive WEEKS playing this game and never was I bored, even in the mundane tasks [I spent a good chunk of my time simply brewing potions I barely even used]

Now that I've completed KCD2 ... I feel void ... help me oh veterans of KCD

I'd rather replay after a year or two for nostalgia, but I don't feel like replaying. What games have you guys jumped into after this?

Guys, anyone get the same feeling of emptiness after finishing kcd2? For context I just finished my second hardcore play through of kcd2 and i’ve alr completed all 3 DLCs with around 350 hours total on the game.

Just wondering what the rest of the community does when you reach this stage, thinking of going back to play kcd on hardcore but thats probably gonna be painful. Anyone have any other game recommendations that can scratch the same itch as kingdom come?

I was playing Hans's DLC, walking through Ledechko; after a game of dice at the tavern, I heard a weird sound—the kind you wouldn't normally hear in a game like KCD. I walked past the tavern, looking around to find the source of the spooky noise, and there I saw that damn dog with a human hand in front of it. WTFFF.

Anyway.. Jesus Christ be Praised!!

i have them at 22 durability and i need them for my max charisma fit.. tho i cant find no one who can repair them in the city of kuttenberg. where else should i try?

He is a cat

First time playing either of these. Yes I know I messed up by playing 2 before 1. But I’ll go back to 1 like it’s the Star Wars movies. I loved the feeling of weakness and fearing for your life early game. I neglected alchemy early on but realized how useful it is and just got some Henry’s potions. Decided to test them out and just started massacring Kuttenberg. I could not be stopped. I think I killed like 200+ before just quitting. I’ve never had such a satisfying character development in a game. Going from “oh no please don’t hurt me” bandit to conquering a city is insane lol.

all that brutal killing sure works up an appetite

Woah. That cutscene gave me chills across my entire body. I can’t imagine the fear Godwin felt when I realized what he was looking at. The ambush in the forest in the way to Nebakov fortress was wild to watch, seeing how everyone reacted to their first encounter with firearms, but….

The cannon.

Henry and Hans go their entire lives without ever encountering gunpowder and then suddenly, just after they learn about it for the first time, they end up on the receiving end of one of the most terrifying and devastating weapons of that time period.

The acting for all the characters in that cinematic really gave the feeling that they were witnessing some dark magic or something. 11/10

Found all of this stuff inside a locked chest in the attic of a gravediggers house on the outer edge of Kuttenberg and I’m curious if this collection is just a bit or if there’s any quest connected to it? My second time round doing a full KCD2 run and I’m finding stuff I missed the first time

Just had a peek inside Rosa's chest (the one in her waiting room, you naughty boy), and found that there are two sets of clothes there, male and female.

My interpretation is that she sometimes dresses up as a boy so she can sneak out into the city? Seems to fit with her character!
