ThoughKingdom Come: Deliverance 2doesn’t pull any punches early on, the game’s economy kind of falls apart once you reach the Kuttenberg region. This may well be getting tuned accordingly, as per some recent comments from Daniel Vávra, the creative director ofKingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Aphenomenally deep and complex RPG,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2starts you off with just about nothing in your pocket, effectively forcing Henry tosteal his way to success. That’s just how it goes sometimes, after all. The thing is, by the time you’ve reachedKuttenberg, almost every single encounter will have at least one or two heavily armored foes, and armor sells really,reallywell in this game. So money is no longer a concern, and Warhorse Entertainment is well aware of this fact. More specifically, Vávra recently participated in a Czech charity livestream with streamer Agraelus, where he offered his thoughts on the matter.
Expect an economy rebalance update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2… eventually
Please note that this information comes second-hand from a Redditor who speaks Czech. VincentVanHades gracefully posted a translation of Vávra’s comments over at theKingdom Come 2‘s biggest subreddit, as featured above. For Czech speakers, the full VOD is now available on YouTube, and it’s aneat seven-hour watchif you’re intrigued by the prospect and have some time to spare.
Back on track, Vávra said that Warhorse knowsKingdom Come 2‘s combat and economy are the biggest problems the game currently has. Combat will be difficult to balance, as Warhorse appears to be uncertain whether any changes made should be pushed into existing playthroughs, or perhaps as part of the upcoming Hardcore Mode update. Further, it takes weeks for Warhorse’s quality assurance team to thoroughly test things out, which also slows down development.
The economy is, arguably, the bigger problem of the two. As soon as enemies begin to wear heavy armor, each fallen foe can net you over a thousand Groschen, easily. At the same time, traders only ever have up to 800 Groschen per resupply, which makes it easy to side-step money-earning activities as soon as you’re reasonably well-equipped. Vávra appears to think it’s very easy to earn money inKingdom Come 2, mind, which means the likeliest fix is a massive nerf to armor trade pricing. Since this was just a random charity stream, however, expect to hear more about this in due time.
Also curious is the fact that Vávra may have hinted at the fact thatKingdom Come: Deliverance 3might be on the way. When asked about the possibility of further sequels toKingdom Come, Vávra did some of the classic smiling and smirking he did back when he was hinting at the existence ofKingdom Come 2, so make of that what you will. Remember, too, that we’ve got some DLCs forKingdom Come 2underway, so there’s lots to look forward to if you’re a new fan of Henry of Skalitz, too.
