I've not played the first one. I'm trying to get into the second one. But man, this is a tough game to start. I'm enjoying it... but I don't know if it's fun!
Just as I Thoguht I was starting to get the hang of things, my character has decided that he's going to be either tired, hungry, or in need of healing. But attending to any of these basic human needs usually involves travelling somewhere which uses calories and usually gets me in a fight.
Speaking of which, I'm TERRIBLE at combat. I practiced with a swordmaster, Tomcat, and he just kept shouting at me and telling me I was doing it all wrong - this went on for AGES despite me seemingly doing what he was telling me.
My character, being basically a Tamagotchi on hard mode, is always grumbling about being hungry. But I've not money and food is so scarce. I've tried stealing food, but people get very angry and chase me for miles, by which time I've used up all my calories and earnt a bad reputation with them.
I would try and pickpocket people but the risk is high and the pickpocketing game looks super complicated and fiddly.
Other than that, it's a very beautiful game and it's lovely to walk around medieval Bohemia like a bum with no shoes.
Anyone else playing this? I heard there were some controversies with the developers, but I can't find a great deal about it
