would very much like to see an well crafted female character narrative but not as a warrior knight wannabe. stretch realism less with a politicking or brains behind the operation RPG. doesn’t mean the female can’t fight. thinking more along the lines that medieval battlefield warrior isn’t the presumed primary path she would take (as with Henry)

Is anybody gonna ban this troll?
Maybe they could go for someone with a humble origin like Henry, or the daugher of a nobleman who has somehow fucked up and been murdered, everybody in the castle/mansion kicked off. That would set some backstory for motivations and abilities.
Or maybe not, they could go for the peasant girl who was raped and almost killed by the cumans and now deeply hates them and try to go for a more active/spy/stealh route (because I still can’t see her carrying a sword…)
Bah, I just love the setting of KCD and would love to see something like this added.
I read a thread posted by the same user with a link to a video from the same channel about how the guy predicted the game will be bad and he is right and so on.Now at the beginning of this video he explains how excited he is for the game and how he thinks it will be "industry changing title"

Unless the noble is ugly, abusive, or old. Yeah they can force peasants, but even a king that is too old or ugly would have a hard time marrying a noble family
I was saying the same thing
welcome any idea. humble origins? concerned that young peasant women were much disadvantaged. the glass ceiling was very low back then
Shoving in a female protagonist at this time period is just cancerous and destroys the spirit of the game. Women at this time period were prized and valuable for making children.
If you want a female warrior, the setting and time period needs to change. Joan of Ark and other powerful women were the exceptions and well ahead of thier times. Henry is not an exception for the most part. He is the rule for the time.
Go make a game during the viking ages. Shoe horning in something that wasn’t there into this type of game is equality for the sake of you feeling like a good person. That isn’t a good person thing to do.

Irrelevant they have wealth and power, and a title. Think of how many old rich men you see married to young super models today. They still would have concubines, and easy access to whores when ever they wanted.

come now. a destitute, orphaned blacksmith apprentice taken under the wings of medieval lords… that’s a stretch of reality even if otherwise well crafted by Daniel Vavra et al
a female protagonist doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) a warrior knight wannabe.

I mean, they are the fucking king, why wouldn’t they.
Because a king probably has over a dozen concubines, an attractive wife, and access to high quality whores when ever he wants.
Why would some random slut have any influence over him?

Finish the story, first of all.
Secondly, a female at this time would either be a very, very boring and fucked up story if she tried to step out of her bubble. Anything else is not historically accurate at all. And I can really get into it in a PM if you want to avoid spoilers. If you want to pull use Henry as a counter to my arguement.
The push for a female in this game is nothing but asking for something you don’t have, because its female. Thats just insulting to the spirit of the game and whiny. ‘I cant have bewbs!!! Please addd bewbs’ that is all I hear as the arguements for a female are just quoting joan of ark and or using week and boring ideas to try and push it forward and PCify the middle ages.

agree finish/polish the existing story/game firstly
second, spoilers aside, the whole premise of a blacksmith apprentice (noob at swordplay, etc) coming up to speed in politics and combat techniques in time to contribute in a meaningful way to turn the tide against a notoriously savage mercenary army that included horse lancers/archers is a stretch period.
a female story would require vast rework. that said, to say there isn’t an interesting credible story that could be told (later with money, time, resources, etc) is presumptuous at best. Lady Stephanie was manipulative as heck. that’s actually in the game and is a theme that could easily be elaborated on

I agree… it is a illusion from games like skyrim.
Gothic has a male protagonist too and if you playing it (after very quality modding) with a female character you will feel that it is not intense and not deep, not the same. Hard to describe but if people did such things with games who are build only for male characters they will feel it. They can feel the same in Drakan The Order of the Flame (1999), maybe. KCD would be the same. Many here said arguments which are perfectly. And one member described perfectly that a female character is a behind the “real” protagonist story story 
kk, maybe a mod or dlc thing. But nothing which can copy the same rise like in actual or original game, concept idea.

medieval Isabel took a marriage and Machievellian plans to the tune of literally changing the world
yes, a female KCD warrior is too Skyrim/Dragon Age-ish. don’t have to use that narrative structure. Lady Stephanie played Henry like a fiddle if you did the Casanova bit. a good number of quests aren’t warrior based. if desired, a separate non-PC game based on politicking and such could be created. is it marketable? good question

If mod tools will published and so on, you can create a mod which shows the life of a noble women 
so be it. but to be out of hand dismissive about the idea is asinine. not every narrative based on a female is PC, SJW or radical feminist in nature
Not in this story it’s not. You should really finish before you comment further.
let me ask you this. how long did it take to train as a medieval swordsman? archer? townsguardsman? expert swordsman-archer-guardman-thief-assassin combined? in this game with experience, you develop 20 strength etc and are just as proficient as (if not more than) a battletested Cuman. that simply isnt reality. love the game and the artistic license. but that’s not true realism
