Never played the first one. Just made it to the wedding after a few side quests and learning a few of the mechanics and gotta say its proper growing on me. Love the pace of things.
Also the performance is fantastic. Looks and runs great on the desktop and even on the 3070ti laptop. Impressed.

So how do sidequests work? Do you have to go out of your way to speak to every NPC in order to get one to trigger, or do they get marked on your map as you progress the main story?

Yeah, I think I’m going to go with RDR2 due to the price and then swing to KCD2 once I’m done. Heck, I might even try KCD1 since it’s like $8 on PSN just to see if the heavy sim like qualities are my cup of tea.

Just speaking to people triggers quests, in my experience anyways.

I played KCD1 last month, so it's fresh in my mind. Other than a less "Hollywood" tone to the dialogue, I can't think of what KCD1 does better than KCD2.

So I’ve played the game for around 10 hours now and basically done bugger all, yet I’ve still enjoyed it immensely. I haven’t played a game like this for many years. I can understand some likening it to Morrowind because it does have a similar vibe, as in, here’s the game-world, now you figure out what to do in it.

Is that the chap who wants you to help him cause trouble in town?Lol there is a neat detail when you meet this old dude with only one tooth and the VA sound exactly how you would expect

are in a big trouble
I give you Sir Herny of Robinton. I stole the clothes from the local tailor and because I was wearing noble garments I managed to demand my horse Pebbles back free of charge from the sables. After this picture, I revisited the local tailors at night of course. Also, I found a bit of a glitch. If you steal an item and put it into a locker that isn't yours it removes the stolen icon straight away.
Anyway......I shall henceforth be known as Nani of Stolenton.

Yeah, i said no because i don't wanna lower my reputation and the dude is up to no good i think.
Btw how does the horse work? can i just leave him everywhere and call him by whistling or it is super realistic? (i probably already know the answer...)

Fuck the whole city and you will be known as Horny of skalitz.

If the horse is far away it will teleport next to you when you whistle.
It's a better system than RDR2 and Zelda. Functionality over realism.

Same, I just left him to it, but he did make me chuckle.
I haven’t got a horse yet, so I can’t help with that one.

If you just walk the trails, you may find someone else with a horse. What you do about that is up to you...

How do you remove the stolen status of a horse? I came across one parked up with no owner around so helped myself but it seems to be always regarded as stolen?

AS far as I know, they'll always be "stolen". But you can ride them (until you sleep), and sell them. (I got 350 for one, and free horse items)

Thanks. Alot to learn with this game, but i like how it doesn't hold your hand and treat you like a retard.

Right?? I got out of the stocks and literally just looked at my TV like "well... now what?" And Henry felt the same.

Just a little hint. You can find your horse, pebbles. And with the right choices you can get it back for free.

Cheers.I m sure I'll come across that at some point. Currently enjoying the wedding and chatting up birds there.
To be honest im just enjoying fucking around and figuring stuff out. Im sure everyone has a completely different story to tell about the first ten hours of this game and thats what makes it so cool, so far.

Game is beautiful and the vibes are great. Visuals are awesome and solid audio design too. It is extremely frontloaded with dialogue / on-rails gameplay though, zero freedom so far.
The dice game is is incomprehensible. I started it, read the tutorial four times, got insulted by the npc three times and just said "fuck this" and forfeited the game.
That gorge escape was terrible, too.
Final nitpick: I hate when games dump six-page tutorial menus on me. You really expect me to read six pages and memorize everything bro?

The dice game is simple, you're trying to get as many points as you can without busting and losing everything in a round
e.g. 6 dice on the table giving you 1,2,5,6,6,6
Only 1 and 5 there will give you points, with 1 giving the most points. You can only grab 1 and/or 5, then can shuffle the other 4 to get higher scoring numbers. If you end up with 3,4,4,6 then you'll bust and lose all your points because none of those dice gives points.
e.g. 1,2,3,4,5,6
You'll want to grab all those dice because that combination gives a lot of points. The tutorial shows the point values for each combination.
You can either trying to slowly get up to 1500 total points by trying for 1 and 5 dice or try and go big for combinations. There are also rulesets and cheat dice you can find

I just found him a bit of a dick and my dinner was ready (in real life) so he had to go.
Just my opinion about KCD2. Since the game does not force and push any twisted woke agenda especially misuse pronouns, gender ideology and transgenderism, and the "controversial scenes and choices" are optional and skippable and not a main part of the story, which means you can still use your own conscience and choice in the game, then maybe, if you have strong stance against woke agenda and twisted gender ideology, it will still not hurt that much your own principle, and morals.
But, for me, those scene and choices, are not necessary and the game will still be great without those scene and choice.. Maybe the developer made this game in the time were woke ideology is so rampant in our society. In one of the developers statement, they said some critics complain that KCD 1 lacks diversity and now they gave it diversity and still more complains they received. I don't blame them because they are maybe pressured by political climate in the past and want to get a good review from critics, but now a new political climate has come and especially with common sense is back, maybe they will shift away from any those controversial scenes and choices in there future sequel or projects.
But overall its a technical marvel for Ps5 especially Ps5 pro , and minus those "controversial scene and choices" for me, it still has a very good story and interesting characters.

Totally unique in that respect.
I think someone else said its like morowind without the fanasty, that's exactly how i'd describe it.

Not gonna lie, playing KCD 1 or 2 with mods for saves, encumbrance, lock pick , instant herb pickup and couple others is pretty nice.

KCD2 is miles ahead of RDR2 in quest design, reactivity ,story, and dialogue.
RDR2 has better animations and generally has better looking NPCs.

Worst trend in modern game design and it's only gotten worse in recent years. Devs have forgotten how to create tutorialized gameplay to actually teach the player, too easy to just chuck a modal up on the screen that "explains" the game's systems.
Remember when HL2 taught you how physics worked in the game? Zero info dumps or pauses in player control.

I did this and it’s improved my time significantly. Thanks.Just use Save & Quit, like others mentioned. It saves super fast and reloads/Continue in about 10 seconds. It's exactely the same as a normal save anywhere anytime system except that it overrights the previous Save & Quit slot. It works very well, you won't really miss the normal save.
I'm having issues with the combat too. It seems to really a bit too much on timing. Parrying works fine but then the ripost attack rarely lands (the enemies usually defend the ripost well) and then they ripost themselves and screw me over. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can't beat Tomcat in a fight at all. On the plus side there aren't many situations in the game so far (20 hours in) where you are are forced to fight and even then you can just try to stay alive long enough for your buddies to do the job. But yeah, combat feels a bit like QTEs, which I dislike. But the rest of the game is so good that it hasn't affected my enjoyment much.
It's very similar. If you disliked the first I doubt you'll like this one.
I'm avoiding combat as much as possible. Been working well so far.
I can't beat Tomcat at a fight
Nope.
What "trick"?
I did that once too. I think nothing happened to you in that situation because she didn't go to (her) bed herself.
They do search you on occasion in this game too. Once it happened to me while fast travelling through the main town, but I chose the option to just keep moving without stopping for the guards' request. Did that, no problem.
Haven't seen any. I suppose they're like in the first game. It would be cool if you could eventually chose who to marry or something. Like, propose to who you want and go to the local priest or something. Maybe some could connect more deeply with story too. RPGs need to put more effort into romance elements. And there should be a lot more variety too. Two options or so is way to limited.
Use the Save & Quit option, like previously mentioned. See my first reply in this post. It really is that easy and fast to use, it doesn't bother me one bit. It's like 10 seconds or so.
I did run into some crazy moments where I needed to rest because my eyes were starting to shut. I rested and next thing you know the quest is telling me to travel all the way back to find out what happen. So I reloaded the save and just shot the person while barely keeping my eyes open. It was a good feeling nailing him with a bolt. I also went to sleep in a bed and woke up to being arrested for steeling a horse. They dragged me all the way back to where I stole the horse.
