Henry's skills from the first game

[Joe]

I've read around that you wouldn't be able to import your first save game to the second game? So I was wondering how they'd explain the absolute skill lose from a well trained Henry (I suppose depending on your gameplay style) to an absolute scrub again?

Or will they at least give you a basic skill headstart? I think I missed the explanation if they provided some.

You get a dialogue that basically recaps the last game and you can answer how you handled certain situations and get your starting skills based on that.

I see I see. Well at least you won't start from scratch again. It's just a shame that there's no point maxing out your skills in the first game so you can focus on the new ones on KCD II.

Henry is not 0 anymore, though statistically he might, higher cap is increased. He is more capable of fighting, like advanced fighter. He also seems to have some more points into certain skills at start. Maybe it is based on those questions from the very beginning. Nobody ever provided explanation, whether answering them provides you skill boosts like at the start of first KCD.

If that's the case then it's great. Not as great as being able to import your skill points but great nonetheless. Just really hate having to start from the beginning again with no explanation given.

he probably gets some base skills based on what you choose to say at the start, but you can probably have the dark souls 0 start as well if you are a true christian penitent warrior.

The explanation to why you're suddenly weak is that you're no longer a big fish in a small pond. The devs have said game 1 is like you're a non league football team and now you're stepping up to the premier league, or something along those lines. I wouldn't be expecting any points whatsoever to carry over.

Maybe those questions about the previous game boost skills slightly like Henry's mum's questions in the first game but I assume it'll just be narrative thing like in the Witcher. I could see them asking if you learned to read in the first game, that would be a bit immersion breaking to do again.

Remember the first game takes place over the course of about a month so it wouldn't really make sense for Henry to start game 2 as a God, even if you levelled everything to 20. They are obviously relying on the player to suspend their disbelief for the sake of the narrative and the fact that it's a new game and not an expansion.

That's true I suppose if you're going to follow the ingame timeline thus the explanation on why you can't max out everything when starting KCD II.

I just hope they fixed the god awful combat

This dude has wet dreams over Fable 3's combat.

All the game would need to do is go to a more advanced part of the region. A legend in a backwater province could very well barely be sufficient in a more modern province. The larger scope of this game would imply hes moving up in the world.

[Maizel]

Also, the story of the first game is measured in a couple of months at most, iirc. It would make sense, storywise that Henry is still pretty green.

except that shouldnt matter really if you know skills and moves u wont forget them on the course of 1 month since how cumans and bandits are all over the place im sure henry and his squad encountered enemies on their adventure to say you lose all of your combat skill makes 0 sense id say they should keep everything and add ontop of it or make it different like enemies different fighting style so henry needs to adapt , or lock picks are different so he also needs to adapt but going from master lockpick to a scrub makes 0 sense
