What are your thoughts about the ending?

[Uhtred son of Uhtred]

I liked but I was expecting Henry being "promoted" to a Knight or something like that.

[Saablic]

Yeah, same for me. Kinda dissapointing. And Erik and Aulitz? I was expecting an epic super hard encounters and... pity. Fingers crossed for HC mode.

[Tenchuu Khan]

Well the story doesn't end there.... at least I hope so.

There's a hint in the game just outside the swordsman's guild that you could buy yourself the title of burgher, which would fall in place with the whole Kuttenberg council discussion.

Being knighted though, more tricky, especially since it is still civil war

[Kabirbd]

Very satisfied with the ending.

If you check the character entry for Aulitz, it mentions that:
"in 1402, at the call of King Sigismund, he joined the siege of Kuttenberg as the leader of the Prague troops.
It was here that he was killed by an arrow after just a few days. For our purposes, we decided to delay his departure to the other world a little longer."

So Warhorse wanted to send him off similar way.

And honestly Erik was not really a priority target for Henry. Maybe for Sam.

Hyea, Eric has more beef with Henry than vice versa

Personally, I think Henry already has the qualification of a Knight. But it's really more a duration issue. There is a speech check with Klara in Nebakov where Henry explains that.

So I think after few years, Henry will be automatically be knighted once the war situations end.

Except it totally betrays KCD story with aulitz. The MAIN quest from KCD1, Vengeance, read as follows "Find Markvart von Auliz and avenge your parents." We found him, but definitely no vengeance to be had. Don't gaslight yourself into thinking killing a dying man is vengeance.

In my opinion, this makes kcd2 one of the worst sequels ever.

[Tenchuu Khan]

lol, dude, it sticks to historical facts as best as it can

The betrayal quest marker is really just for show

But hey if it helps, you can get Istvan's chaperone at his "grave" after kicking him out the window

They threw the historical fact argument out the window by having aulitz alive to begin with.
Why put his character in? Like there is no reason for his character with how it ends.

Not a vengeance. I gave him a good death as he deserved it. No pleasure to killing him. He wasn't the bad guy, neither is Sigismund or Henry.

It's the whole reason Henry is doing what he is doing. It's reinforced countless times in KCD1, then thrown out the window with 2.

I got no idea what you are talking about. I just don't see how I am gaslighting myself or how this betrays the story.

But like you said, it's your opinion. My opinion is I disagree with you.

My interpretation of the story was always Henry's guilt of seeing his parents die, having to run away in front of the very man who killed his parents.

And for me, Henry has overcome that. Henry no longer ran away. Henry kept his promise to getting the sword back to Radzig. It was his promise to his father.

In my first review of KCD2 after playing 2 hours, I said the sequel was a love letter to the fans. And after finishing the game, I stand by that statement.

It's a worthy sequel which built upon KCD1 instead of normal reboot of many companies while trying to make a sequel.

It's the best sequel I have ever played. The duality of men, I guess.

To be clear, the gaslighting statement wasn't directed at you, it was a generalization on my part.

You're feelings on the game were exactly mine up until aulitz gets shot by, well, not Henry.
You're right, Henry kept all those promises, except the one to himself to avenge his parents.

I really hope that Radzig does something for Henry because ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that dude hasn't done ♥♥♥♥ for him at all. XD

That's true. He ignore him as his soon the whole life and now he is just sending Henry to be killed for the entire country xD

[Tenchuu Khan]

Well there's hardly any interaction between Radzig and Henry

Same goes for Hans and Hanush.
