Son of Henry

[Actalo]

Who wants to bet, at the end of KCD 2, Henry will be faced with the same choice his father was: a la, low-born woman pregnant with his child?

As the game will most likely canonically include past (at least) sex with Theresa, my guess is she's with child and Henry will learn mid-late in the game this is so. Unfortunately, part of the plan to depose Sigismund and reinstate Wenceslas, probably involves marriage alliances with Henry, Hans, and the daughters of prominent nobles. Vavra is great at quickly attaching emotional weight to characters so I imagine Theresa will be reintroduced and have an impact, just in time to break the news.

Thus Henry will have to chose between Theresa and his mission, much like his father.

It's has been already confirmed that at the start you answer questions about what happened in the first game. And one of those choices is rather or not Henry had sex with Theresa. So no I don't think this will be the case. My Henry was a religious virgin man, and I think warhorse will respect the choices of the players.

I'm not here to bet - but it would be a nice ending for Henry in KCD 2. Do a big quest, get a castle (or a nice house ^^), marry Theresa, nurse a child.

Considering Godwin plays such a prominent role in KCD2 advertising, I can only assume WH made Henry's misadventures with Godwin canonical as well - so, sorry, maybe some achievements just don't carry over and Henry's a bit of a sinner, for who better to become a Saint, than one in need of redemption.

You might not get the castle if you end up marrying Theresa. And narratively, it would fit in with the theme of Henry being raised as the son of a blacksmith and then finding out that he's actually a noble's bastard to be forced to choose between his old, simple life and his new, political life (even if it wouldn't necessarily make sense historically).

Yeah - castle would be a tad too much. But a nice cozy place for him and his new family would be great.

Thats a very good theory good sir

I doubt Theresa will be in the game. Her VA unfortunately received a lot of abuse following the release of the 'A Woman's Lot' DLC which might have put her off any future involvement. She'll be mentioned in the game, but I could see her either dying off screen/leaving Bohemia altogether (due to possible rumours about Henry's death following the ambush early in the game).

The female character with the crossbow in the game's artwork and trailers, as well as the noble looking female character Henry is seen kissing in the first trailer, will most likely be the primary love interests this time around. I can certainly see however Henry having to choose between his peasant upbringing vs his noble heritage.

I don't think it would be the same kind of choice for Henry, he already is a bastard.

Sir Divish wants to know Henry's location.

He's a royal bastard, for sure... at least in one of the playthroughs I did.

Oh! You mean by lineage. Yeah. Same there, too.

All I want is for Hans to survive. I hated that character at the start of KCD. By the end of KCD, I needed Hank to protect him. If Hank has to give his life for Hans, so be it. How can someone be such a spoiled brat and be so endearing? (I blame the writers and performer.)

I remember seeing on youtube an interview of the community manager by a youtuber and at the question " is Theresa going to be back in the game ?" he said something like joker story spoiler i cant answer that.

This plus the fact the game will ask you what was your relationship with Theresa in the previous game is making me believe she will be back.

But off course i am pretty sure you will be able to romance someone else if you want to.
