SPOILERS: Very bad ending and pacing, was main story actually good for your?

Gameplay
#1

I completed the game few days ago, but i feel feel that end was very bad - boring (The last track of sound track - lyrics are about plague, so i expected at least bad plague come end…). Do you think that end was rushed too, or its just bad storytelling?

Was main story good for you? I liked props like graphics, try to be historical etc… some side quests, but main story was mainly boring for me, maybe except few moments like - bath quest for Hans and i was disappointed by lack of real choice, overall story was to linear…

Boring + linear is not good combination, i know that open world games main story is usually problematic, but when i thing about Morrowind, Oblivion, even Skyrim, Gothics etc… they had better overall story, even without 15 minutes long expensive but usually empty cutscenes.

I dont like epic boss fights, but here was only 1 such fight with Runt and i took 1 hit to head and few hits to Ulrich… otherwise i was killing some generic enemies without name.

Also historical feeling was mainly from graphics and sound assets, but when i dont feelt it too much from dialogs, what is big missed opportunity. Similar problem i have with pacing, game tried to force me to feel that there is too much time, but only moments had timeout, otherwise i could do nothing for days… Its shame that game dont have real Calendar and maybe only few quests have some timeouts - and you dont see result of such failing (someone else would find and burn waldesians, womans summoning devil killed by woodcuters, fine execution )… - developers boasted about that but in real game is almost nothing as real living world, where is not player main trigger of events.

How you would rate the main story? Im giving 6/10 halberds, nothing special :slight_smile:

i dunno, i like the voice acting in this game better then skyrim. i really enjoyed the quests. my favorite is cloister. i liked being a monk the most, i thought it was a fun unique rp experience . thing with skyrim for me is i had to have about 20 or more mods to enjoy the game the way i liked it. which in it self is pretty cool. my skyrim looked nothing like skyrim which was the way i liked it. to be honest i never was a fan of elves, cat, and lizard people. wheres the dog people? id give 8/10 only because i kinda think some historical changes are needed to increase realism

Voice acting is not writing, or its different thing for me, i dont liked that every dialog was in behind loading and i saw myself i 3rd person view - big immersion problem, especially with all strange half broken camera angles…

I liked the game very much and it´s definetly in my top 3 games that I played.
You have to keep in mind that Kingom Come has three parts. Deliverance is (obviously) the first one. That being said I´m good with the ending. Because it´s such a big clifhanger. How will the second part start? Will the whole game play in a different location? Will we see Radzig and Hanush again in part 2? The real life Radzig died in the 1410s if I can remember right. So will we lose our real farther, too? Can we get our sword back in part 2? I could go one but I think you get it :smiley:
But you are right that at some parts the game was… boring is the wrong word, but sometimes I thought man that dialog is already 10 minutes long, let me do something, I want to play again :smiley: Especially at the start of the game. After arriving in Rattaje it got better but man the dialog with Stephanie in Talmberg after the attack or ins Skalitz when the German talked about the King in the tavern… :expressionless:
You also talked about voice acting. That´s interesting because I´m german and I have to say, that the voiceactors were really, really, really good. For example the voiceactor for Toth was the same guy who spoke Deacon in King Of Queens. And I don´t watch Game of Thrones but someone told me that a GOT charakter and Radzig have the same voice. So for the german language pack the hired really professional and well known voiceactors.
The german magazine “Game Star” gave the game 85/100 and I think that´s fair. Great game overall with some bugs and sometimes stupid AI but overwhelming graphics and music.

There are different types of scripts. Some are purely comedy, some have grandiose plots with tails of mystery heroism and intrigue. Others are character driven. KCD gets a 10/10 halberds on it characters from me. From your other posts I got the impression you’ve put a lot of time into the game. Maybe after 100+ hours of entertainment you’ve forgotten how many cool characters scenes there were in this game? Or maybe its just not your cup of tea.

The ending - the epilogue - is truly shit.
After such a good game such a terrible, terrible, anti-climatic ending.
I lolled.
