Comment on Years later, I finally completed Kingdom Come Deliverance

I really, really want to like KCD, but after a bad experience early on I’ve never been able to get back into it. There is a mission fairly early on where you need to sneak from one end of a large map to the other. There was a lot to do and explore on it, so it probably took me 60-90 minutes. Then right at the end I got jumped by 4-5 soldiers and died. And because of KCDs aggressivly-anti save system, I would have had to repeat the entire thing. I get that KCD is supposed to be super hard core, but I’m a busy dad of two small kids. Finding an uninterrupted pocket of 90 minutes to enjoy a game is a rare luxury, so having it ended like that completely soured the game for me.
More games need a “busy parent” easy mode.
Yeah it took a minute to get used to that save system and I have been burned a few times. Sometimes I would take advantage of the “save and quit” option instead of using one of the drink saves. Or take a nap on some rando’s bed for an hour!
It does get better as you go everything is a lot harder. Once you get some armor, a horse and some practice fights in it goes a lot smoother. And running away is always an option

If you’re on PC it’s fairly easy to install a unlimited save mod, that might be a nice QOL option for you.
If you’re using a console, Savior Schnapps can be fairly easy to brew with a bit of practice. Still not a perfect option for what you’re talking about, but saving every hour or so can be a big timesaver.
