Game Plot
The main storyline will be linear, focusing on Indřich (Henry) from Skalica. While the core narrative is linear, side quests offer significant variability and multiple outcomes. The game picks up directly where the first *Kingdom Come: Deliverance* left off, but prior experience isn't mandatory; the first game's story will be recapped.
Expect a larger, darker, and more politically charged story than its predecessor, expanding beyond localized conflicts to encompass entire states and rulers. Kuttenberg, previously mentioned, will be a major location. Many characters from the first game will return.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Gameplay
While building upon the foundation of the first game, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* introduces refinements. Character progression is more diverse, allowing players to specialize as warriors, rogues, or diplomats. Combat is smoother and more accessible, while retaining its challenge. The game also features in-combat dialogue options, advanced negotiation systems, romantic interests, and even firearms (though unstable and potentially self-destructive!). The reputation and morality system is more sophisticated, with NPCs reacting to even subtle details.
