vengeance quest

[daza1504]

i have completed the game and the only thing left to do it speak to capon, to ride off into the sunset with him. There is still the vengeance quest to complete for the main quests and there is no way point to show where to go for this. is it continued into a DLC, or has it bugged for me?

Heavy sigh...,

No, you haven't done anything wrong. No, the game has not bugged for you. And no, there is no dlc.

Like real life itself, sometimes there is no happy, Hollywood ending.

I liked it.

They went with the cliffhanger ending... to be continued.

That's all that's going on. You don't fulfill the quest, you don't get the sword, you don't avenge your parents... to be continued.

I'm not sure that was the best way to go for their first game, but it's not up to me. It's also a bit late to be crying about it.

Tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel.

That sucks! You don't like it... but on the upside, you won't have to wait nearly as long as some others for the sequel (I'm assuming it's a given that will be a sequel).

As i understand it, from people closer to the source, it will not be a sequel... it will be set some years in the future, although still in medieval Europe. Hussite wars?

Seriously? Tell your sources, "I want my effing sword so I can use it to avenge my parents!"

Well you should ask that question of @vine . He lives in The area and, AFAIK, has contacts within the WH community.

Here's a link to a thread discussing KCD2--vine and wjpower2003 have some interesting remarks.

Just because the protagonist doesn't kill everyone in the end with a large explosion while wearing sunglasses doesn't mean the story is not over.

There is no cliff-hanger. The story is over. Radzig literally tells Henry that he has to get over it. That's the ending. Closure comes from within. Learn to accept that you don't always get what you want. Henry has to learn to let go of his obsession for revenge and move on. That's the lesson. It's extremely obvious.

i agree with you - imo, it was a very poor decision by the devs to leave the first quest and all Henry's promises unfulfilled.

For me, the absolute worst part of the game was the ending.

I suspect they had more immediate dreams of a sequel, but... well... of mice and men.

In truth, it would have been easy for them to leave the sword behind, but instead, the devs decided to be clever jerks.

I disagree entirely. If you give it more than cursory thought, how in the world was Henry to recover the sword or get revenge on the guy who killed his parents?

Was he to chase all over Bohemia and somehow infiltrate and confront Toth and his retinue? How was he to find, much less kill, Markvart von Aulitz? Guaranteed neither is holed up in some rustic camp deep in the woods. They're both gone to Prague or points unknown.

At the very least, it's a different chapter... maybe even a different story.

In the end, I think the devs were brilliant for not pandering to the polly-annas. That's something I respect about the devs--they maintained their integrity and held to their vision.

But, tbh, the ending choked me up a little... in a good way.

Well even with Radzig's speech, Henry seems to completely disregard everything he just spoke to him about when he is riding off into the sunset with Hans so it doesn't seem like Henry took him too seriously lol.

Yes, that's what good writing looks like. Getting over something like that doesn't take one day. It takes literally years, maybe even his entire life. Henry lived through an extremely traumatic event. People spend decades in therapy after such things. It's not something you can just shrug off. Of course Henry didn't listen at first. After all, Henry almost never listens at first, but he eventually becomes a little wiser.

And if you play the Johanka DLC, it delves a little more on the meaninglessness of anger and revenge as a purpose for living.

Kobyla tells you in the final cutscene with him something like, "Nah bro u got pretty women, good alcohol, food, friends, etc. That's enough. You're gonna have to let go of that shiz bro just move on".
