The road is long, my feet are sore.
I'd buy a horse, but I am poor.

Blue skies overhead, green grass underfoot, beautiful girls… and a fine steed under your backside!

Life is one long series of problems to solve. The more you solve, the better a man you become.

I'll find that thieving rat who took my sword and run him through with it!

God be with you, Henry.

Epilogue

• It is a “simulator”. I mean, you cannot simulate real life (yet) but, as I said, it is challenging, and it will force you to make your best to improve and most importantly, survive. You should not expect this game to be liked by casual players. Anyway, it has two game dificulty modes at the start of your journey, one easier for new players and an expert mode for those who want to replay it.
• The game can be confusing. The menus might not be as clear as you would expect because this game is not something you have already played in the past (I am pretty sure), so, at first, you may find a bit dificult to start and learn how the game works, specially lock picking and other stuff like abilities and perks.
• Bugs. You may find a NPC literally breaking physics rules by walking with buckets while T-posing into Rattay. This title is NOT a triple A game, so you should expect at least one bug in your gamethrough. If your are lucky enough, you will experience a bug like the one I described above, or you might find yourself with a corrupted save in the mid part of the story.
• Not the best performance. The game looks amazing, but it is dificult to maintain over 75 Fps with a RTX 2060 Super with everything over LOW. You may want to see some in-game benchmarks with your rig before buying the game.

• Historical fidelity. The development of the storyline might not be as realistic as it seems, simply because you start out as the son of a blacksmith and end up being a knight in the service of the nobility. However, this does not mean that Warhorse Studios has made a breathtaking work adding into the game all kind of information related to the XIV century in Europe. There is a codex in-game that allows you to read information of all kind of interesting topics, including the life of some of the characters you can interact with in your gamethrough. It might not seem as important as other things, but it actually shows how dedicated and carefull were the developers of this tittle.
• How long it takes to beat it. Depending on the player, this point is a positive one or a negative one. The game will last easely 50 hours, if you just make some of the secondary quests and the main quests. It has tons of content available, I ensure you that if you buy it and you actually like the game, you will make your best to complete it as much as you can before it ends.
• Mods. There are a reasonable amount of mods that can enhance your in-game experience. Most of these mods are made in order to make the game easier, some of them are made to make it harder. You can either choose being a p*ssy peasant or to be a chad nobleman.
• Combat. This game stands out not only for its setting and complexity, but also for the combat system. It is hard enough to force you to practice it and feel that you actually learned something when you are in a fight. Spamming the left click will not help you this time.
• Abilities. *Improve your ability to lockpicking when you are drunk*
* Go to the city at night. * Go to the tabern and drink enough to be drunk as f*ck. * Repeatedly fall to the ground during your mission. * Obtain more than 4K Groschen in stolen items. * *Profit*
• Great story. Knowing how bad are singleplayers nowadays (with exceptions), this game has a decent storyline, with great characters and a very successful environment, realistic as it does not show a great treatment to women and there are no black people. It is realistic (as it should).
• Different playstyles. Depending on what abilities you improve, you can play in a different way for the same situation. You can try to sneak to a camp killing all the cumans with a dagger while they are all sleeping, or you can choose to follow your berserk instinct and kill them all with an axe and a shield while you are half naked. I mean, it is up to you and your playstyle.
• Different activities to do: hunt, play dice, help peasants with its problems, etc... These activities were made to fill the game with content, so you can entertain yourself without completing all the main and side quests.
• Replayability. You can develop your storyline in different ways (sadly, it starts and ends at the same point). On the other hand, side quests have a greater optionality, so you can do them in different ways.
• The dialogue system. The dialogue system is more complex that what you might think. Not only it depends in your dialogue hability, your status and charisma, your popularity, your strenght and even your culture and intelligence, but also in who you are talking with. It is not the same talking to a nobleman, a captain or a king as talking to a commoner or a peasant.
