Dreams of KCD 2

[irwineodguy]

After my 3rd play through with over 360+ hours of KCD I wanted to express how much I enjoyed the characters.

The rumors of old with KCD 2 being set in 1506 make no sense to me as Warhorse ended KCD with all signs pointing to an obvious sequel being set right after the events in the first game. The long prologue with Margrave Jobst, unfinished business with Istvan, the sword, and if I can't exact revenge on the Baron I'll be disappointed.

First and foremost Henry should be recognized as a full Lord by Sir Radzig, the adventures of Sir Henry would be spectacular using like the previous Witcher and Mass Effect games as your decisions affect the second game. Henry should marry Teresa and move to Pribyslavitz with a bigger story arc and town management added. Henry and Capon develop a brotherly relationship with more adventures involving the two. Lady Stephanie becomes pregnant and complicates everything. Bigger locations such as Kuttenberg and Prague, bigger battles obviously, and maybe more of Brian Blessed.

No idea if any of this is even on a white board somewhere hidden in secret at Warhorse, but it would be ideal.

Konrad Keyser, he builds the trebuchet.

Oh, yeah? I know who Konrad Keyser is but I didn't realize that his voice was BB's.

Thanks.

Once I heard his voice in the game, I literally stopped what I was doing and had a 'Flash! AAAAaaaaaahhh!' moment. Well, in my head, anyway.

One of the most unique and distinctive voices, imho.

Let's be honest, they are touching the very start of the one of the most interesting parts of our history here in the game.

Jan Hus is still preaching in the Betlem chapel at this time, and he is a professor at the Charles University. This is years before his conflict with the Church goes to the point where he is burned at the stake in 1415 for his "heretical" preachings.

His followers would then go on and start the Hussite wars. Racek Kobyla would actually be a good way to introduce more genuine legends, including Jan Žižka. He was also a follower of the Hussite teachings, if claims are to be believed, and was murdered in 1416 (A year after Jan Hus was burned. Sigismund, who becomes the King of Bohemia, actually gave Jan Hus a paper guaranteeing his safety... which did not in fact protect him from the Council of Constance. That year, Jeroným of Prague is actually also burned at the stake - he met with John Wycliffe, who influenced both him and Jan Hus) and I believe I read somewhere that of his entire retinue at the time of his murder, only one man walked out of the fight alive. You figure out who that would be in terms of the game.

Either way, then the wars get here and no fewer than five crusades are defeated by the Hussites. As the legend goes, one of these turns tail and runs when they hear the chorus of Ktož jsú Boží bojovníci. Who knows if it's true.

The vast majority of the country would remain Hussite up until 1620, at which point we fall under Habsburg rule for the next three centuries, and only get out of it in 1918 with the First Republic. But that is, at the time of the game, two centuries in the future.

And the game's story is poised perfectly to go through ALL these historical events. Easily one of the most interesting parts of our entire national history as a matter of fact.
Compared to this, I have no idea if 1506 even has any interesting events to go through.

I agree, it seems if we went to 1506 the interesting periods would be Italy, England, and Spain; not Bohemia.

Yeah it would be nice to continue his story. Although no chance of being "raised to a full lord" that's not in Radzigs powers or how it works. At best looking at being recognised for being his son and given more social status as a result but still have to be in service to the other lords as a lower knight.

[Pathfinder Serza]

Yeah, Henry will never be a noble, period. However, being a noble's son, his skills will be more easily recognized than a commoner's. Which is actually precisely what happened in the first game, already.

Half of it is Racek going "hey, he's my kid, let's give him a job" and Henry vastly surpassing all expectations through sheer competence.

[Yuz]

Maybe a new story with Henry's daughter (instead of Henry himself or his son) on a quest to find the sword at Prague?

[SkyRiderJM]

They were suppose to continue the story so I hope that is still in the works.

[MacSuibhne]

Personally, I don't care whether Henry ever reclaims his 'father's' sword or not. If anything KCD has taught us it is the importance of character and character development.

His father's sword is probably a good blade and it was certainly a good device to motivate Henry and drive the story. But in the end, it may not be any better than St. Georges sword. Recovering it would seem almost incidental.

But Henry dern sure is better than when we first meet him... in all kinds of ways.

What happens in KCD reminds me of the Chicago School of literary criticism. I used to belong to a book club of Chicago-trained critics and the first question they always asked was about the protagonist's character development.
