Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Interview @ Gameskinny

Gameskinny interviewed Warhorse's PR guy Tobias Stolz-Zwilling about Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

How important will role-playing be in Kingdom Come?  We are aware that it takes place during real events, but how big of an impact will your decisions have?

Since this game is an open world RPG, the RPG-System plays a huge role of course. So the more you use a weapon, for example, the better you’ll get with it. But still the is the realism part in our game, so it’s not just about levels, but we also demand a high skill level forces the player to analyze every battle he is going into. Simple button mashing will most likely get you killed. So it’s about tactics, reactions, stamina management and many more. A very common feedback we get from players is: “I never hold a sword in my hand, but I believe it feels like this”!

In general we want every action of the player to have a proper reaction. These reactions can either have a local or even global impacts. But it’s very important to understand that you’ll not be able to change history, but you will tell your personal story inside the historical, real story. So it’s up to you how you behave, how you shape your character. Are you the negotiating type, or do you solve problems with your swords? There are many more choices you’ll need to deal with.
