Most annoying experience, bug or part you encountered? Jan Rucker wants to know. Please share your thoughts!

wasnā€™t fond of unlocking farm animal backsides and its suggestion: Henry has a backdoor fetish or bestiality desires even if hallucinatory. donā€™t have any moral outrage over it. just think it was clumsily executed

Are these forums being read by the devs? Would love to give my feedback, but I doubt anyone from Warhorse will seriously read it here (and I happily dumped my twitter and facebook a long time ago).

Thanks for confirming :wink:

Yellow dot. (Console command to remove makes playing other aspects of game impossible)

Option to turn off compass.

Option to have HUD fade away when not in combatā€¦

Restore to game (an option for) volumetric fog (using in game elements would make it conditional eg time of day; console command is on/off ~not as immersive)

Give players option to skip tutorial aspects. (Eg not have to learn swordfighting; My missus had done town perfect and beer WOULD HAVE BEEN COLD, if not for forced side quest that parents dont want me to do anywayā€¦ )

Sets of clothing/setting clothing sets (so we can quick key rotating outfits or getting ready for bed).

Make keys/buttons reconfigurable OR make the kick button ā€˜runā€™ when heldā€¦ (or B a run toggle)

Hello, thanks for this initiative :slight_smile:

So for me:
Belts which are removed from tabard when worn over an armored chest:

Layers for armor and helm:

Bug with the Huntsman lodge (spoiler):


Not sure if this one is yet fixed or not, did not test since last patch.

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: I would add an easier way to manage mods!

Well ok then, here we go :slight_smile:

First the obvious and easy answer: the most annoying to me and many others are ofc the bugs that get introduced with every patch and that break the main questline and many other quests. While some have seen their game improve, my experience has gone from enjoying a stable game with some bugs to crashing at various points and not being able to continue the main quest anymore.

Assuming those problems will get solved eventually, there are some less urgent things that Iā€™d love to see receive improvements or changes:

  1. Stealth system: Iā€™ve read that some people seem to think itā€™s gotten bugged at the introduction of one of the patches, but personally Iā€™ve always found it hard to make sense of it. For instance, when Iā€™m in an area with multiple sleeping people around and stealth murder one in their sleep, it seems to be pretty random whether Iā€™ll be able to get away with it quietly or whether everyone in vicinity all of a sudden wakes up and raise the alarm (the latter happening more often than the former). It could be that this is just working as intended, but in that case I guess I would like to hear/see some audible/visible clue that makes it obvious to me I failed at being stealthy. For instance, my victim would manage to yell out while I go for the kill or heā€™d thrash around making a lot of fuss. Right now it looks like people magically wake up after my perfectly silent stealth kill and itā€™s hard for me to determine whether this is working as intended or if thereā€™s a bug here.

  2. Quests that seemingly have no alternative outcomes: I saw the ā€œPlaying with the Devilā€ quest mentioned above and thatā€™s a perfect example. No matter what you do or try, things always seem to end horribly wrong and Henry gets the blame for it. It might be realistic that sometimes you just cannot save a situation, but a quest like this one that has no path to some reward or satisfying conclusion is one I will never pick up again in a next playthrough.

  3. Target locking with multiple opponents: I really love the combat system in this game, but this has to be its biggest flaw to me. The target locking just drives me nuts when multiple enemies are around me as just as I want to take a swing at someone the system decides to lock onto someone else and Henry turns around leaving himself open to the guy you wanted to target. Maybe Iā€™m not understanding how you are supposed to do this, but it feels like the system was designed for 1v1 combat. What Iā€™d love is to be able to simply target the character your mouse is pointed at.

I really love the game though (when itā€™s playable again :stuck_out_tongue:) and if youā€™ll do a ā€œbest parts of the gameā€-thread Iā€™ll write something down as well :wink:.

Iā€™m vexed by randomnes of black long loading screens after using water trough. Sometimes second, sometimes fifteen. Most annoying thing ever.

Yes and bushes, unpassable bushes.

These two things annoy me the most.

What I truly dislike most about KCD is the lack of immersion!
WHAT?! You might say, as KCD has been promoted to be the most immersive RPG ever and WH obviously put much effort in unconventional and really creative ways to raise immersion.
BUT: Every stableboy, that just keeps on walking into a closed door, all the NPCs walking right through each other and all the peons sitting down in the tavern at the EXACT same seat that I already occupie KILL any immersion instantly.
All the NPCs that shout at me for not being welcome in their home RIGHT after they cheered that ā€œHenry has come to see usā€ asskick me right back into my seat in front of the screen.

I really respect WH for their bravery to

  • stop me from quicksaving every 30sec
  • creating a whole new fasttravel system
  • respecting my choices and holding me responsible for them
  • being uncompromising in a fresh and creative way.

However clipping, missing collision control and some poor design choices make me never forget that itā€™s just that: A video game.

@igotasweetass If your on PC, you can downgrade back to 1.3.4

The Screen Shake issue. When a bug can literally make you physically ill, it should get pushed to the top of the pile.

The combat wheel after 1.3 for people who play with inverted Y axis. It made the combat impossible. You shouldnā€™t apply inverted controls on UI, itā€™s like going into a menu and pressing up to go down the list, the brain just refuses to interpret that and much as Iā€™ve tried I still cannot get over it.
Also speaking of combat, prior to 1.3 when I could actually play the game, by the time I managed to unlock all the combos, mid to late game, they were made obsolete since every enemy, from the lowliest bandit in rags to the full plate knights in random encounters died in two hits, sometimes three but not more. What is the point of unlocking new moves if you never get to use them?
Other than that thereā€™s a long list of small annoying bugs/glitches that I have overlooked simply because the game is great, but please please pleeeease fix the inverted combat wheel so I can play KC:D again (or if itā€™s by design add an option to have inverted look Y axis with normal combat wheel Y axis). As it is I cannot go on and I really want to continue playing it because what works in it is great.

@DiePlage That shouldnā€™t be necessary. I answered his question, and i donā€™t feel like going through some complicated process to fix something they caused.

Hello everyone!

I am so sorry that it took me so long to finally write my response.
First thing I want to say that I am grateful for the feedback I get from you guys. Your opinion matters.

EDITED

This mail too jan.rucker@warhorsestudios.cz

Youā€™re welcome Jan!
If you had asked me about the things I really love about this game the list would have gotten much longer.

Most annoying bug ā€” Q&A quest cutscene bug (unable to proceed) - FIXED
Most annoying experience ā€” Graphics Configuration reset after changing gamma and some other settings (different in different times)

And I hate that Rattay armorsmith and Bailiff are sleeping 24/7

Curious, what specifically is annoying? To me, 2 things. (1) the NPC groups should organize better in attack. Cuman and bandit camps are relatively easy prey for Henry before and during Ruin and related quests.

On horseback, Wolflinā€™s whole camp was pretty easy to cut down solo. Want a different way? Hop on the wagon in their campā€¦ near invincible.

Enter Pribyslavitz in controlled manner. Possible to kill every single enemy NPCā€¦ on a ā€˜sabotageā€™ mission

(2) when weaker, one strategy is to have Henry draw the enemy NPCs away from spawn point to isolate and hit and run. After a while, the NPCs quit and put their weapons away. No defensive position, no tired position (hands on knees), etc. that makes them execution targets. not cool.
