Game Plot
The narrative follows a linear path, though the developers promise diverse side quests with multiple outcomes. Players once again control Henry from Skalica, whose journey continues directly from the first game’s conclusion. While the main story is linear, the side quests offer significant variability.
No prior experience with the original is required; the first game's story is summarized at the start. The sequel expands the scope, delving into larger conflicts and darker themes involving entire states and rulers. Kuttenberg, previously mentioned in the first game, serves as the central location, promising a vast and detailed environment.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gameplay
While building upon the foundation of the first game, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces improvements and innovations. Character progression offers more variety, allowing players to specialize in combat, stealth, or diplomacy. Combat is refined, described as "less jerky" and more accessible, yet still challenging.
New features include in-combat dialogue, advanced negotiation systems, romance options, and even firearms—though these are presented as unstable and potentially hazardous. The reputation and morality system is more sophisticated, with NPCs reacting to even subtle details of the player's actions.
