Will there be customizable controls for console and pc? I mean like on HL2 where you could pretty much map whichever button you wanted to which action you wanted.
One thing that Im kind of worried about is money value. Is it going to be realistic or is it going to be like skyrim where its 5000 gold coins for a sword? Also will gold weigh anything? The reason why we have paper money now is because gold weighed quite a bit and people were tired of carrying it around.
Not sure about console but there is always customizable controls for pc.
I hope not. I want it to be challenging to earn large sums of money.
I think it should be realistic in the sense where a sword is realistically priced, but it’s also difficult to earn money, and large amounts of money in one swoop.
Another thing to touch on is “money sinks”. I am hopeful that there will be plenty of things in the game that you will continuously have to purchase, and thus “sink your money into”.
Food, water(?), repairing your armor, repairing your weapons, paying for rent when you sleep (depending on if you’re friends with the person or not), buying alchemy ingredients, clothes, armor, etc.
What am I missing?
Girls, wine and gambling 
Tax, customs duty and change fees… 
Outstanding debts (from Henrys father)? Pay the penaltys…(for crimes like thievery, ect.)
Horse and Dog! Clothes and jewels (for charisma)
Matthew 19:24:
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Therefore give a lots to charity, so when the kingdom comes you will be delivered!
What I hate most about Open-World games is that you always drown in your money… Money quickly loses all its worth since you have so much of it you can basically buy everything.
I really want it to be a challenge in KC:D to get a decent amount of money.
Hit the nail on the head. It’s not just having several things to sink your money into, but the actually act of earning money being difficult.
Technically that’s how it would’ve been in medieval times. Resources were hoarded by the lords of a certain area, and it was very difficult to earn a large amount of money. Skyrim is ridiculous because you have beggars in a town, but 30 feet away there is a cave with many ceremonial urns full of gold. I hope this game turns out the way you guys are describing. I want to have to work real hard for my money in KC:D. I want my money to feel valuable, and you need to put a lot of consideration into spending it. Buy that awesome dagger, but since you spent all your money you go hungry.
Completely agree with everything you said how ever Henry is working for nobles in this game as far as i know. So i would assume he would have access to more money than the average peasant. I really like how in the alpha you only get 5 gold for doing a quest thats simple. You steal a flute and he gives you 5 gold. If it were skyrim you would have gotten 5,000 gold for stealing the flute.
Yes, but I guess 5 gold coins back there was already a LOT. Maybe too much ? Maybe he should have given 1 silver or 3-4 bronze ?
I agree but there needs to be a balance. If the money gain was like real life it would take you months to be able to by armor or a weapon.
It’d be copper coins, not bronze. Otherwise you’re right with it being a little too much, but as @SirWarriant said Henry is working for nobles and you start the Alpha with 90 Reputation, so it does make sense he got 5 gold for the quest.
Im also no expert but i’m pretty sure the only metals used for currency int he middle ages were gold and silver. I think the whole copper and bronze coins in the Medieval ages is just an rpg thing.
Probably more like 100-500 gold. That was usually the norm in Skyrim.
Either way, it would be copper if coins were minted of that metal. Bronze was used for armor and weapons before the Romans came to conquer the known world at that point. (i.e. The Bronze Age, The Iron Age, etc.)
Right but this is 1400s long after the Romans.
Exactly my point. But as we both agree it’s unlikely they used any metal as currency besides silver and gold. However if they did use a smaller form of currency I don’t think they’d use bronze.
The game talks about groshes or not? So I think it will be this the Prague Groschen, made from silver.
Around 1400 the groschen had about 1,7 gram silver.
So here’s a question - If u had 5 GOLD groschens and were in Great Britian, would they still be valuble because they’re gold? Or did currency matter more than gold back then?
