Why force us to play Henry again... let us decide what character we play

I want to play a strong black women with a zweihander and thick armor.

Because Henry is worth it. There is such a rich storyline build up around him and his friends / family and enemies - it's vital those are adressed in KCD 2. Everything else would be a spin-off.

You might go for Skyrim or wait for TES VI - those games have a completely open character concept.

i got a fully modded skyrim, btw the dlc for theresa was great just a bit short but i would prefer a female character overall.

Yeah - I hear you. But to be honest - we'd need a fantasy setting to get that flexibility. A lot of the games background wouldn't work with a female protagonist. At least not on that level with the main character interacting with the nobility and the "combat" aspect of the game world. (climbing up the ladder in the "army"). No matter how we see it today, the time the game is playing in was a different one for women.

edit: giving the matter a bit more thought - the devs would need to trick around with something like a camouflage system and an additional gameloop to never get caught / exposed as a women or something like that.

Anyway, that's what all the other awesome games are for =)

They had both moors and female warriors in medieval times this is no fantasy setting at all, i mean you can even see female warriors in the coverart for this.

Yeah, lets make snowwhite male..
I really hope this woke **** does not affect KCD2

[Honey Bun]

It is about the story of Henry, so that’s why we play him. I do hope there is a DLC similar to A Woman’s Lot though where we can play as a woman, it was such a good and fun DLC too

Keep in mind that moors or the turks were considered invaders and oppressors. Don't expect that a european dev depicts them as benevolent protagonists of such games. It could work in a Dark Souls like game where everyone wants to kill you lol but not in an rpg where you need to interact with ppl a lot.

Also warrior women...according to historical studies some noblewomen were taught how to fight as when their husbands went to war on the side of their king someone needed to organize the defense of the estate in case of attacks of marauders ecc but still they were not common.

In the kingdom of Hungary in that time there was an amazon called Rozgonyi Cecília who actually saved Sigismund of Luxemburg (yep the antagonist of the game) in the battle of Galambóc but she was also a curiosity of her time.
So again in a tipical zero to hero game which tries to be accurate being a warrior woman would be a stretch especially if you expect that every npc treats you like an everyday sight and say "whattdayawant" like to the male character.

That's called STORYTELLING

[Ceciliantas]

You all fell for obvious bait......

I thikn Henry is one of the worst characters in game industry. I wouldnt mind to play some Black Barbarian. Herny could be squire and Hans my chef.

I cant honestly even think what chracter is worse then Henry. I could throw Lara Croft, but man even she is cool. Even Skyrims prisoner is cooler.

[Tactrix]

I thought at the very least they would let us play Theresa. She was part of the original story from the start so it would make sense.

[Seagrey]

In God of War who is the main character?

[Abu]

Thicc, outspoken black woman armed with a Glock, yet in spite of the magazine size that will be deemed illegal hundreds of years later, can't actually hit anything

[Targonis]

The first game was about Henry, the second game continues the story. If you can't handle that, then you will have to either wait for the next game, but it wouldn't be Kingdom Come if you want a different main character.
