It’s really good. Incredibly frustrating and challenging combat but good once it clicks. The rest of the RPG elements are amazing. Except lockpicking. Fuck that nonsense.

Lol I kinda liked it in kcd1. Has it changed?

The lock picking is still the exact same system.

The one frustrating system i can’t deal with.
Seriously though, lockpicking irl isn’t as difficult as the game makes it seem even if you were picking modern locks. On medieval locks it should be a joke to pick them yet Henry can’t hold the pick still for half a second so it’s “nope, fuck you gamer”.
Ah well no game is perfect.

Like all of Henry’s skills, he sucks at the start.
You’ve got some faint knowledge that it can be done, but no idea how exactly, and with rudimentary tools to boot.
Just like you IRL, it takes Henry learning how locks fundamentally work, what picking is actually doing inside, then getting better at the feel of it. And just like ORL, Henry gets good at lock picking quite quickly after some practice and some books.

It gets substantially easier with every level. I’m almost maxed out and opening even the hardest locks is a piece of cake.

I never played the first one but i’m a fan of challenging games. From what i’ve read after getting my ass beaten by single random bandits, the combat is better and more fluid than the first game. Fewer locked in animations is what i gather is the biggest change.
The one thing you really have to get in your brain is do not spam attacks. You will die. Your stamina is like armor in that the lower your stamina the more it hurts to be hit.
Like i said, once it clicks it’s great but boy oh boy was it frustrating to learn.
