The ending is bad (spoilers, obviously)

[Beyond.Celsus]

The ending sucks actually. I can handle the generic way it ended and is basically how you know it would end,

But,

The part where your dead parents come to judge and scold you for how you played the game is so uneccesary. Everything you did was to avenge them, only for them to come and urinate on all your achievements. Left a really sour taste in my mouth

Am I alone in feeling mad about this?

[Hellsteeth30]

Oh I was all about ditching Sam.

He spent all his time whining and nearly throwing a win.

He's a Henry that never stopped being incompetent.

One thing about that though, he must be the fastest Jewish man ever to get caught before I even get down the ladder. He must have been screaming the whole way in.

I just wish Henry could have married Katherine.

She's twice as old as him. And their "lovestory" is written much poorer than Tereza's

I looked up the model for Katherine, and she’s 39 in real life, and just had a daughter. Despite her age, Katherine is confirmed to be fertile. 🥳

What love story? There is none.... they're all about teasing and being flirtatious at best

There's no real love story in KCD2 - I guess they wanted to stay true to Teresa from KCD1 which is an actual love story.
Not even Rosa is an actual mate for Henry due to their standing. And if I had to choose - still Teresa.

Even if you can’t call it a full-fledged love story, you’ve gotta admit that the game tees up a love story between Henry and Katherine at the end.

Everyone else is regarded as temporary flings and less important than Theresa, but Katherine competes with Theresa if you choose the right dialogue options.

Katherine’s fertility is no joke. Half the player base is probably contemplating picking her over the village girl from the first game.

Yup, canonically there's no lovestory - all choices were optional. But Katerina would r@ape Jindřich even if the player wouldn't pick the romance line in the dialogue. You actually need to ignore her before the mission to not have sex with her. It could be the bug - after all, the game is buggy as hell. Or - developers tried to force us their vision of our character AGAIN.

And that's why I've considered it poorly written)

Roza's story is quite organic. She was so passive because of the estate's borders, but if Jindro would be knighted in the next game of the franchise or DLC - he would be equal by rank to Kuntzlin and his father is much more influential than Ruthard - just like old Ritter von Meleshou wanted.

Tenchuu Khan eredeti hozzászólása:

Come on) Jindro's father is Royal Hetmann (it's a loosy equivalent of French Royal Marshall) - Jindřich could be knighted much easier than most people in the XV century)

She made some hints that she doesn't want to merry a soldier.

As said, I found that to be flirtatious at best - never got to ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ her or so. I think she's a lovely character but.... njah

Could of course be due to my dialogue options.

I just don't feel any vibes from her character that would fit with Henry.

I just think he's best suited with Teresa, which is one of a kind.

[EMT-Fields]

My pick is Katherine, never liked Theresa. Nice that see saved Henry and all, but wouldn't pick her for Henry. For me Theresa just didn't have a personality. Rosa was more interesting, and that broad was annoying as hell.

After she was r@ped in a group several times? In the era, when antibiotics were not invented? Sorry, but it's still a joke.

Maybe they never played KCD1. Or maybe they were skipping important dialogues of Katy's backstory. Or maybe they are just perverts, who like women twice their age with mommy's issues. Should I continue? This argument proves nothing)

[Tenchuu Khan]

Let me put it this way though - we're all damaged

And Henry and Theresa share a sort of common damage if you will.

Katherine would have a way better romance with Zizka in my books - they'd love each other for the rest of their lives

[BillyBobCledus]

Wanted to romance Rosa. Bummed the romance options had no lingering effect.

[Nixter]

The whole game is bad, no surprise

I am personally fine with my true original ending. Martin and mother saw me as a monster. If anyone did not see it coming, they must have been skipping conversations with the big bad guys. Revenge / honor / and what Martin told you about life in the world were revolving themes in KCD1. KCD2 just wrapped those themes up.

From my concluded play-thru, and experimentation with the ending speech choices from the end of my play-thru, and a couple youtube KCD2 endings I watched, these are some additional factors that influence your ending.

Not mentioned:
6) how you dealt with Istvan, Martin seems cool with killing Istvan, but if you kill him dishonorably gets an extra mention by Martin as bad.
7) Are you repentant for your bad actions (Crime - I acted like a common bandit and stole a ton of crap from Trosky and Kuttenberg) can affect mothers response (No Regrets vs Regrets - I did not pick 3rd option)
8) Are you repentant for or a particular kill; (For me, I killed Brabant) this can make a difference as well with father/mother

9) It also seems Martin and mother seem happier if you choose to settle down back home or in the city rather than keep adventuring or staying a warrior. You loose out on keeping your father's sword if you chose to settle down.

If I could pick a good, good Henry ending, I would settle in the city or keep the Adventursum life.

Ok, so I duelled Toth, stole quite big pile of groschen and other stuff I found useful in Trosky region, so I didn't have to go stealing rampage again in Kuttenberg, and I wasn't exactly sorry for Brabant - like I said before, whoreson had it coming, some things are beyond forgiveness. Ok, I give them that (simple fact Brabant spared would've alarmed all camp making saving Sam impossible doesn't matter it seems). But for goodness' sake, what's wrong in choosing adventurer's life? Or soldier's? Henry's not a regular commoner anymore, they know that very well. By tragic fate, but he started new life, found new purpose and his social position has changed. He's got new duties and responsibilities too. I see nothing wrong in Henry's ambitions and desires to be knighted, he earned that already. Common peasant's life is not for him anymore, no matter what. If settle down - then only in his own fiefdom. So why condemn for accepting new reality and being ambitious?
