I would agree, but nothing about KC is realistic. It’s less realistic than many other games.
Combat is a joke copy of mount&blade that has nothing to do with all the great “research” they did on medieval combat.
The food system is a joke. Many food items go bad too fast. It’s tedious. You can’t buy food from most people.
Nobody reacts to you being in their houses. You can just steal everything when nobody is watching.
Then the game is overly detailed in points that are completely unnecessary, such as having 16 slots for clothes, but limited inventory and stupid console style menu to navigate the ridiculous number of items.
The rpg system is uninspired and way too simple to be even remotely realistic.
Every character has the same size - even the guy described to be a giant and also dumb as bread. But he is neither really dumb nor any taller or more muscular than the rest of the NPCs.
No matter where you look at - if you take realism as a benchmark - fail, fail, fail. All we get is a walking simulator with nice forests.
