Historically speaking, Radzig never returned to Skalitz and the castle was never rebuilt. Also, rebuilding a village is easier than dealing with a town with a castle, so it makes more sense if you just want to send a few loyal servants and a bunch of peasants to do the job.
@Boru9 The preoccupation with Skalitz is simple (maybe)⊠castles are the epicenter of medieval games, and players want their own castle fantasy.
Does it make sense to go back to Skalitz? No 
. Does it make sense to charge Henry with a less grandiose mission [(re)build a hamlet]? Yes 
. Do most peeps want a castle or hamlet to sandbox? Castle. 
I would love to rebuild skalitz in fact when I finished my first play through I didnât at the time know the game was over and with quests like the kings silver and having to rescue radzig and pick him up in skalitz I felt honestly disappointed that I wasnât going to be part of the rebuilding. Like a massive hole in my belly kind of feeling of just emptiness. But after learning that it was never rebuilt in real life that made perfect sense. But letâs talk about the place we think it will ask us to help rebuildâŠthat place that begins with p âŠI canât spell it. I can help but think why. I mean why bother from what we see in the game is 1 building thatâs ready to fall down. Lots of mud and a massive amount of big trees . Plus itâs not on fire. Skalitz is on fire . And whatâs the DLC called? 
Rovna is too
Yep I would be happy doing there as wellâŠstill want a castle tho lol
And also Will GriggâŠ

oh wow, hardcore mode looks like a lot of fun. No hints on perfect blocks and TWO permanent negative perks. Also why do i have a feeling that numbskull will be one of the best of the new bad perks to choose and everything else will be just awful 
please more sneak peeks at some bad perks pretty please

I hope all of those are individual options. I can do without the compass, and target cheats, but I donât think I could get by without having any idea if I was tired or not. That seems a bit extreme to be depriving the player of their basic senses.

oh my gosh, i completely missed that the health and stamina bars and possibly buffs are missing in that comparison shot as well. must have the ability to actually see what are current stats are, agree i am not sure about this yet, guess well have to wait to see what Hardcore mode is all about.
Actually no, blue screen will show up. You need to count how many strikes you can make before going to blue so you learn to calculate more.
All DLC will be on the old map, or in the new territories?
It looks good. But hardcore mode MUST be with a single life. If you play carefully itâs possible not to die. Also, I canât understand how player (not player character) can retrieve the feelings of the Henryâs body without indications? For example I donât need âvirtualâ icon IRL to determine bleeding because I feel it and I can see it. But without UI there must the way to understand what happened to your character with limited perception.
I agree with you that there needs to be some indication. To some extent, the colour of the screen should give the player an idea, but I donât think itâs enough as there is very little (if any) difference until you reach about 40% health. As for one life only, I wouldnât necessarily agree with that. It wouldnât be much fun doing the 6-hour intro over and over again just because you happen to die. You should be able to load your game and continue as normal, otherwise thereâd be lots of annoyed players. And you can always delete your timeline after you die if thatâs what you want.
What I want from the hardcore mode is mainly a complete overhaul of the economy. I want money to be always in short supply, I want food to be scarce, I want to have to work harder to obtain beds - they should be more expensive and the miller shouldnât let Henry stay for long (unless you pay him some more, perhaps).

Better idea would be to punish player by decreasing stats after each death. I think game keeps count of that, as for achievements.

Well. Diablo, Path of Exile had/has hardcore mode with single life and millions of players are playing that type of game without complaining and annoying about start from scratch in case of death.
Itâs good idea to give a choice for players at the start so they can select preferable options. If player doesnât want to have single life - he doesnât turn that option on. Like Thief series has flexible difficulty settings.
Yeah. I can not imagine that, I die often in those games.
If single life is optional, then I have absolutely no problem with it. But it would be a shame to have to lose the other hardcore options if itâs non-adjustable.
