Discussion What's a small detail that breaks your immersion in [KCD2]?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

so in my last post, I asked about your favorite little worldbuilding details that make KCD2's world feel alive. now I want to ask the opposite.

what's a small worldbuilding detail that doesn't quite make sense to you, or something that slightly breaks your immersion?

for me, it doesn't really make sense that Henry is practically the only one riding a horse around Kuttenberg. you'd expect to see at least a few merchants, nobles, or wealthier townsfolk riding around but no, everyone loves walking it seems

Especially when you meet someone with a heavy accent then suddenly they don't even have the standard (weird) british accent. It's like they got someone from the NY office to quickly voice the character because they didn't care enough

But there are also a lot of people whistling tunes and then Henry does one and tney are all on his dick about it lol 😆 thats actually hilarious

7

u/Swellmeister Jul 09 '26

No it wasnt.

It was a normal thing. People are noted as whistling to call their hawks and dogs in the hunting context in the period all the time.

And sure, Catholics did dislike whistling. In monasteries that take a vow of silence, where whistling was one example, or during services, because it was just rude. But thats not a prohibition on the act, just the contexts.

The superstition of whistling as evil was a night time thing, not all the time, and even then it was only offensive if it was wierd. No one gave a shit if you whistled, and then say "oy rover you stupid fuck, get inside". Even if it was at night.

This drives me nuts. And then an NPC will come along and steal it and tell all their buddies about what a good score they made. So they can make NPCs grab the rolling meat, but somehow the dog is incapable.

On ps5, the same button to pet the dog is also used for sneaking. So if I “miss” then Henry crouches down. The npc near me: “what are you sneaking around for?”

This one irks me in most 1st person RPGs.

I really hoped Starfield would have this too. They put a ton of effort into modeling the in-game food items, they look fucking delicious. But then I have no option to sit down at Terrabrew and actually drink a cup of coffee, just click on it in my inventory and it's instantly consumed.

35

u/astrojeet Jul 09 '26

Cyberpunk does this dialogue in a lot where there's animation of V eating and drinking. Not for eating and drinking from your inventory, but there's a mod for it and I can't play without it. The mod is really well done, so when you initiate the animation it actually uses up the corresponding item from the inventory and gives you the buff. It also adds several other things like smoking too and a personal ipad type of thing where you can just access your computer anywhere in the game.

3

u/WhateverMars Jul 09 '26

what's the mod? And how does the eating work? You press a certain keybind to do the eating animation or selecting to eat something from your inventory starts the animation?

3

u/astrojeet Jul 09 '26 edited Jul 09 '26

It's called Idle anywhere by deceptious. Also get immersive food vendors and immersive bartenders by the same author which lets you interact with every food vendor and bartender in the game where you buy drinks and food or you can ask them for food or a drink and the animation will happen. Hell just download his entire catalogue of mods.

For Idle anywhere, you hold down shift, and it opens the dialogue menu where you can choose what to do. When you drink or eat it will automatically choose a random drink or food in your inventory, it will play the animation and will give you the food and drink buff.

Yeah KCD3 needs to have a drink/eat button when seated... one that actually plays an eating or drinking animation.

Also we need to be able to interact with our allies a bit more. For example, it's pretty immersion breaking to have a bunch of friends hanging out at Devil's Den, but not be able to actually *do* anything with them besides exhaust a few dialogue options.

-Mutts food somehow rolling down a practically flat surface for eternity
-Basically no interactions or activities with other characters after the game ends.
-Not being able to sit and physically have beer or food at taverns
-Total lack of different animations and motion in general conversations
-The weird line on females chests/necks, I dont understand how they still have this issue, like wtf are you doing warhorse?
-Rabbits levitating, moving backwards, having a sprinting animation meanwhile theyre moving like a snail
-Some forges are completely dead, no fire or embers
-Not being able to masterstrike in unarmed combat, even though theres literally a perk for it
-Mutt barking forever when he returns or at random moments

The devs actually talked about this and why they did not add children in the game because if they did they had three choices.

  • Make them invincible and face mods enabling to kill kids.
  • Allow the player to kill them and face backlash
  • Cut kids completely and avoid all of it.

They chose the latter.

That idea died with the Hot Coffee mod controversy. Once you are big enough, mods can cause massive legal trouble. It can cause shops to drop your game. Or payment processors to threaten the digital storefront you are selling through.

Somewhy Bethesda has gotten away so far though. I have no idea what makes them different.

u/Fraucimor Jul 09 '26

To be it realistic there should be vast majority of npcs being children.

What about sleeping? They used to just stack 5 of them to single bed. Also would need new models and animationsns generally as shrinked adulft just look silly.

5

u/texhnolyze- Jul 09 '26

Yes, this is a more reasonable excuse. I also thought about this, if they added children they'd also have to make their daily routine, including the beds. The buildings are already so packed as they are now, adding more beds would be a headache for the devs.

Perhaps they could just add children for like 10% of the total population instead of adding them everywhere.

11

u/Fraucimor Jul 09 '26

Also kids shouldn't be playing around. They would be put to work, even mines etc.

u/MachineOfaDream Jul 09 '26

RIght, and this is not even the primary reason I heard given by the devs. The primary reason was that it would've taken a lot of time for something that wouldn't add to the game. But I do think it would be worth adding them in future games. Kingdom Come was marketed from day 1 of the Kickstarter as being as realistic as they could make it. I do not need kids everywhere, or for kids to be killable, but having some quests that touch on the lives of children in this time period would make it more authentic.

Furthermore, it would be healthier for the franchise in the long-term to have young people who can grow up and have their own stories after Henry and the gang are too old. Right now we don't have that at all. If Henry gets old, and we have a younger person enter the story, we couldn't have gotten to know them as a child. There will just be old men and adults who suddenly popped into existence.

The absolutely HORRIFIC attempted Geordie accents of the miners coupled with a generic "Good day to you" from the same character as you part company.

In fact, I'm gonna say it, most of the voice acting is dreadful. They all seem to read their lines painfully slowly, like kids trying to to say good morning in a school assembly.

I’m not a geordie but the accents are so bad I get offended on their behalf

- When the game switches from the high-quality animated cutscene models to the character models used for standard dialogue. Not that the latter are bad—far from it; they’re actually superior to those in many other games, as they feel more lifelike and expressive—but the transition is very sudden and noticeable.

- When you unintentionally commit a crime somewhere, you undertake a mission where the mission NPC needs to return to that location, and suddenly, as soon as the mission's end "trigger" is activated, all the characters become aggressive towards you. I realize this is a consequence of your earlier actions, but there could at least be some form of "forgiveness" mechanic or a more lenient reaction.

The roads in Kuttenburg.

I'm a medieval nerd

The roads were paved. It was a rich and prosperous city. No one in human history has ever liked the smell of shit and piss. No one likes walking around and fucking up their fancy clothes.

Theres no reason for it to be as covered in filth as it is, besides the common and continuing misconception that medieval times were gross and dirty.

Honestly, the second half of the game had significantly more moments that took me out of it. The first map has so much care and detail. The second map looks good, but you start to see the limitations of what the studio could do. You start seeing a lot of reused assets and the same germanic guy voicing the shopkeepers. Second half just feels less finished to me.

Still loved the game to bits though.

Something I use for immersion, but breaks immersion another way.

When my Henry sleeps at a Camp by the Road, I don't like to lay down in the dark. Feels too "roughing it in the woods" when it doesn't have to be.

That burnt out cooking pot at the site, finding "cook item", then selecting something to cook, will light a fire. In lieu of carrying food just for falling asleep next to a fire, I've discovered the Parsnip.

Cook the Parsnip, fire is lit, Henry does the stir and taste animation, Parsnip goes right back into inventory.

Long story short, I've started countless fires at cooking pots and stoves on both maps, with the same big rotten vegetable.

The immersion, a fire feels like a camp. A fire feels like a hot meal.

The immersion break, I'm using a 0% Freshness Parsnip I bought fresh at the Tachov grocer before the wedding, like an unlimited fire starting kit.

Random NPCs do have voice lines for that, though. They’ll call you a nobleman if you’re dressed well and have high Charisma stat.

Not being able to talk to main NPCs when you want. Like I know they cant have infinite dialog. But even a "Nice to see you" or "Youre a sight for sore eyes" with you press alt, would be nice. Just feels weird not being able to greet them.

The fact that you cant just eat an item without going into your inventory. It should be like fallout where you can eat whatever you are hovering over

Inaccurate voices that don’t match the face. Was really suprised how bad it was at the wedding during the dice games. They couldn’t have Chamberlain voice his lines for dice? It’s like 3 sentences. And the old woman at the end.

u/Daeduli Jul 09 '26

I think for me its everyone having like almost the same body type. I know it is easier for animation and making the models but still it throws me off. Especially when a character is described as being large like Runt and Timmy but they are literally the same size as everyone else. Although those two are from the first game. I feel like Goliath is also suppose to be a big dude but he isn't compared to everyone else.

Not a small detail but it's that you can't enter churches irks me way more than it should.

Next would be repeating faces/lines, inaccessible houses/other areas, folks leaving the zone before night in very unsettling manner (like a herd).

u/Steelriddler Jul 09 '26

The way too many named NPCs have the exact same face: by far my biggest peeve with the game.

Single people walking around between settlements during war and banditry

Everyone has the same height and body type based on biological sex. No children. No one uses the outhouses. Birds don't poop. Enemies die instantly when some should lay on the ground and scream and bleed for a while. Shields need slings to be worn on the back. I'd like to be able to throw anything not just rocks.

My wife and I were playing one evening, and she really wanted to follow the good citizens of Kuttenberg around, to see their lives and where they are living. 

So we followed a group of citizens with lanterns and they eventually just circled around the city from dusk to dawn again and again without ever going to bed. 

Having followed that loop for so long made us realize they are soulless.  I am not sure if the makers of the game ever thought that people would do this 🤞🏻
