I don't want people to see this and immediately think the game is bad, before even playing it themselves. It's a great game, in my opinion. I just wanted to poke fun at certain aspects of the combat, which I thought were too abusable and needed to be addressed at the time. EDIT: Played the game again earlier this year and had a blast. I have tried just about every combat mod and these two mods are my favorite: No Mo' Slow Mo - This mod to get rid of the slow-mo effects in combat, making for a much faster paced experience. www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/284 Better Combat and Immersion Compilation (BCAIC) - A compilation of mods that affect various parts of gameplay, but the main bit is the combat module. The gist of it is that the AI is a lot more aggressive and varied in their attacks, and the windows on perfect blocks and masterstrikes are much smaller (I very rarely pull off a masterstrike with this). www.nexusmods.com/kingdomcomedeliverance/mods/651?tab=description The showcase video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9CVlJBqv8W8hpc.html EDIT EDIT: Just found out about the Modified Combat Overhaul. If anyone has tried it, please let me know what you think!

Mercenary: *swings sword* Henry: *gracefully dodged every time* Mercenary: *swings once more* Henry: BONK! Mercenary: *literally dies* Henry: I’m feeling quite hungry

Feel quite hungry

The idea that Henry catches sight of guys like this and changes into his weak ass peasant outfit to lure them into a fight and just beat the piss out of them is epic.

So basically, Henry unlocks Ultra Instinct and becomes a beast of a man. I dig it.

"A little bit of friendly combat" 5 seconds later "You're dead!" Little did he know, it was the day he would die.

How to kill a fully armored mercenary 1. Dodge attack and beat the bloke with a stick 2. ??? 3. Groschens!

The legend of Lancelot has it that Lancelot, without his armour, once had to duel a man in full armour with no weapon. How did he win? Well he just picked up a random ass stick and beat the piss put of him

You booped his snoot and he brain became goop

this game goes from an absolutely useless dork that waits till his enemies sleeps to stab them to the god of death that killed half of bohemia by himself

"Late game in a nutshell" Me *shoots bow from close range* That's my late game.

This works right up until you get mobbed by 6 guys who have eternal sprint and the lock on mechanic goes nuts and forces Henry to spin in circles as they beat you to death.

The Bohemian Musashi.

Actually, this is almost historical correct, 5 years later, in bohemia, the full plated knights were defeated by peasants with their sharpened peasant tools.

"Fuck this!" you can truely feel the frustration in the NPC's voice

Early game be like full plate armour and long sword. Late game will become just shirt and hose but hood for cloak and dagger

That is some Lancelot-tier bullshit. XD

Oh look Henry has come to see us!

“What do we say to the god of death?”- Henry First Sword of Bravos

Basically you start as Mr.Anderson end as Neo .

Kingdom Come: Belligerence

Cosplaying as the 1400s Bohemian version of Batman with no plate armor and only taking enemies down with your fists, and challenging yourself not to kill anyone, has been really fun. Pretty cathartic to bounce around a fully armored knight's helmet as you go to town on it like a speed bag. What's even better is seeing how many enemies start giving up entirely after you combine Taunt (Agility) and Dreadful (Strength). I started the playthrough as a joke, but it really became something special after a while.

I feel quite hungry.

Ultra instinct Henry

I ran into this same wayfarer except i was a low level and declined the fight then tried to knock him out and he ran screaming for help lmao

After 200 hours of play time I came too the conclusion i discoverd the true story of this game... This isn't about the son of a blacksmith seeking vengeance and trying to recover a sword.. oh no there is a story here that is equally as obvious if your paying attention.. This is a story about a man with Palsy in Medieval times and his heroic adventure to overcome this disease! Henry can only do one thing really well from the get go. Drink. Henry can't read or even smith all that well, and he cannot use a sword for shit. Henry is welcomed and loved by everyone why? Because anyone with a serious mental issue is treated with extreme niceness. Henry, eventually after being treated with an odd amount of respect from everyone he encounters, overcomes this mental health issue.. in doing so he becomes an absolute destroyer of men..... and women (snicker). Henry struggles to keep him self fed, to ride a horse but manages to overcome most of his short comings including becoming the richest person in Bohemia This is the story of a man who simply didn't accept his short comings, oh no, he set out to over come them and we get to share in his misadventures. Wait.. hold on.. Is the story of Henry some how mimicking Forest Gump?

That's historically accurate OPness, mind you.

Buddy, you brought a woodstick to a sword fight? Fuckin cri-

"a little friendly combat.." riiigggghhhhtttttt

Actualy that is realistic. When you crush someone's windpipe like that he can quickly suffocate to death and yes the game has localized damage. That means, proper strikes on the head, throat area etc mean death most of the time or knockout.

Feels so good once you finally get good at fighting.

And with me its the case now that I am in full plate armor and get clubbed to death by 5 full armored bandit knights with visors while im busy gezting their dog off of my arm

"Henry isn't overpowered" for some reason I knew the devs wouldn't keep their word

1 on 1 you're basically invincible once you get the hang of it. Groups, however, can still be deadly.

So Henry is pretty much a Shaolin Monk? Neat.

Down vote, you didn't kill him with a single head smash.

« Hey ! Henri has come to see us ! » during a stealth mission

This looks so badass I can't wait to play this game. You looked like some crazy monk

Sergio Forrel or whatever his name was.

I did that but against a fully armored knight, to be fair I was fully armored and pommeled him in the face once and he just dropped. I was so shocked and walked up to him going "Buddy? You alright buddy?"

I fought this guy incredibly early game, and he still went down almost immediately. didn't even have perfect block then. Two mace strikes and he was straight up dead.

Loved this game, just rolled the credits the other day. This is very accurate though lmao

your blacksmith father that easiliy killed al those cumans at prologue is put to shame

Syrio Forel, enough said...

I remember that in Oblivion all creatures leveled with you as well so no matter how strong you were those damn rats were still annoying :D.

If you were good enough irl you could theoretically do this. I certainly wouldn't want someone to lean into a thrust at my neck with anything too hard... England once won a skirmish against the French like this. Even though the majority of the English army had what was basically hard beef jerky for armor and long wooden sticks they still held off against the French, who heavily out armed and armored them. I mean 5/6ths of the English were Longbowmen, but after pelting and thinning the French advance they went hand to hand with cudgels and hammers... and won. Personally, I'd rather have a staff than a sword. More reach and leverage. More ways to block and bind too.

the worst part is when you kill them oneshot with a master strike, i felt so bad for the wayfarer knight

The fact that the horse looks up at the end as if to shrug makes this all the better.

You killed him!

That is amazing. I cannot even get past the fucking load screens. This game 10/10.

Everything about that is so true. That is how all my duels go.

I did it again, except with the harder enemies mod installed and fists-only, against a fully-plated enemy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nc6SnauorpaRZas.html

This vid turned out to be better than i've ever hoped for

"Good day, sir knight!". "Aright mate"

Henry now must venture east to learn the ways of the Orient and master all forms of martial arts.

This is like an old karate master teaching an arrogant apprentice type shit lol

He chose a wooden sword, to give the poor bastard a chance.

Those oblivion menus...

So who trained you, Sticks?

The guy with no College degree with 5 years experience on the job vs me at my new job with my fancy College degree

Henry becomes a fuckin God in combat eventually

Had to come back and revisit a classic in the lead up to KCD 2

"I should talk to Theresa"..... "feel quite hungry"

He stands there, unfazed

We all can see that poison on the weapon.

This is like the legendary Musashi in Japanese history.

i played 70 hours and still havent figured out how to repost

I'm 10 hours in and Henry still can't swing a sword.

Stick and stones may break my... HOLY JESUS!!

Headcracker perk certainly a blessing and curse

Got the faint hearted knight, he wanted a little friendly duel. Dodged his first attack and stabs him in the throat... he falls dead... I feel like a dick

Mercenary (Dead)

Shadiversity was right about the power of a good old fashioned stick.

Blocking attacks is very OP in this game.

NPCs talking shit to the main character when a single finger can annihilate them will never get old.

Yup, pretty much....and everyone says "you can't be a good like super human in this game".... Proof is in the pudding. The perfect block is OP and broken

Such is the legend of the great stickman, Mushaski.

That moment at the end... fuckn lol Looks right... looks left... looks at corpse... ... ... loot

Looking forward to it.. 👍

"A little friendly -" *dies*

A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands

So this is what it's like to be a Morrowind enemy.

I remember this game exactly like this having played 4 years ago and never again since

For whatever reason, I haven't seen a single encounter of any sort during fast travelling for the past 20 hours of gameplay, not sure whether it's a blessing or a curse.

This is POV Bronn fighting that old knight in the first ASOIAF book.

A little bit of friendly combat * 5 seconds later * *"YOUR DEAD"*

TAKEN IT LIKE A CHAMP

Can't touch this! Dun dun dun dun... can't touch this!!

Grapple, Q. *Repeat*

I Am Syrio Forel, and you will be speaking to me with a bit more respect.

Don't even worry about the challenge. Go for the overkill. I saw you had st George sword poisoned haha.

Fully armoured mercenary dies after four hits with a wooden stick. Seems fine.

Henry bacame IpMan Master of Kung Fu and defeats Guys armed with swords using a Branch

It will take you literally hours of goddamn grinding to achieve this

And thus the student becomes the master.

HIS BLUDGEON HAS POISON ON IT

30 hours in and nothing stands a chance

How to win fights in Kingdom Come Deliverance, Clinch>Stab>clinch>stab>clinch>stab>Repeat ad infinitum.

tbf, the author of the Book of Five Rings, Musashi something, typically dueled with a wooden sword and beat his opponents at the end of his life simply by parrying and dodging around them, never striking back once,,,they'd just give up and admit they could not defeat him. so not an entirely unrealistic late game, for a god damned virtuoso duelist

with a pencil, a fucking pencil!
