To those who feel bored with KCD 2
First and foremost this is not the place to hate the game for whatever it is in your eyes. All I´d like to try is to get behind the feeling as I was bored as well and did not even got to the marriage.

Now, please be kind to the Dev´s which most likely don´t take it lightly their baby beeing critized in the way steam forums works (if you ever worked anywhere and YOUR project was subject of critique you know how devestating it can be, even though and in the end it turned out well - be respectful is what I want to beg of you).
Instead try to articulate your reasoning for beeing bored and how could that have been avoided in your opinion. It is not about Quest x was tedious, this Char was out of line or the dice game was changed or similar aspects.

Now I am not really in a position of beeing able to give us a good start of a debate (did not get to the second map) but I was allready bored or more in a little rage as soon as Henry was taken to Bogena. To much and to heavy exposition of the first KCD. I get it though as this was a neccessary evil but all Henry was about is "I need to avenge my dad, I need to get back the sword". Over and over again. This was annoying as I just played the first one and still am but it came to a point were I was just thinking "I got it, I got it in the first place...can we now please stop with this, please?".

I did most of the quests in the first area which came up with more then 40 hours as I also explored the map (found the UFO for example) but the game wasn´t able to catch me like the first did. Something just felt off and it felt tedious though most of the quests where optional, I know, but if playing KCD 1 tought one one thing it was "Do the quests, there maybe not always fun but always respected your time and add to the immersion." This is one I cannot say of KCD 2. Quests are just checkboxes and did next to nothing to immerse me, more the opposite was the case.

So, for me a good one would be not to having Henry running/riding around like a maniac for doing sidequests and sometimes less questing but with more charm would be better for example.
Bigger Maps aren´t always better as well. The Map of KCD 1 was well in many ways. Size, things to do while not getting overwhelmed, reasonable time invest for doing bigger quests for which Herny had to get from south to the nourt or from east to the west...it was much more a well designed world where all the parts fitted neatly together.
KCD 2 on the other hand felt like a rag rug: Do something benign here, do something else there oh and there is place for just another quest so let us put a generic one there.

No, you do not need to haul sacks and you can get rid of Vostatek but the way the quests are evolving feels so different then the did in KCD 1. They felt like chores for the majority and that was a turn off for me as well as some other things but...why did you felt boring and what is the reason for it?

And again, please, this is not the place for hate or clownfarming or anything like that. Enough posts out there where you can do excatly that. My intention is to hopefully voice reasonable, comprehensible arguments/points so a potentially KCD 3 get us all back together hopefully. Veterans, newbies, all in between and the bored ones.
Thanky in advance for that.
