Is is better to play Light Armor or Plate Armor?Agility swordsman or Knight?
>>732300957it doesn't matter
>>732300957Heavy armor synergised with heavy weapons and heavy weapons are the greatest.Swords are lame compared to axes, hammers and polearms.
Also keep in mind that there are no light helmets in this game whatsoever, so if you pick light armor and someone hits you in the head... yeah you are fucked!
>>732300957Armor, there’s virtually no benefit to going light other than aesthetic purposes. Especially when fighting groups of enemies, you need all the help you can get if you want to experience those. Sure you can solve that problem with speech and stealth and stuff but fighting a group of people is so intense
>>732300957Heavy armor + 1h shortsword (given all the perks you get for it)learn masterstrike + grind for perks and by the second map you'll be cheesing every battle and even be actively running up on bandit camps instead of avoiding them
>>732300957Just slap on the heaviest armor you can find and spam mace overhead till it's dead. The combat system sucks ass and there's no reason to even enguage with it beyond spamming the one or two good combat arts a weapon may have. Don't forget to also carry a set of social clothing and a set of sneaking clothes to manually swap everything out any time you change activities.
>>732300957Don't think about the game as if it's a game. Think about it like it's real life. There's very little trade-off; a well-armored opponent almost always has the upper hand.
>>732300957Unironically ask reddit/v/ can't tall about anything else than minorities in the 2nd game
>>732300957Nigga this ain't no fantasy slop, it's heavy plates or you die
>>732302268>>732302656The purpose of light armor in real life is just when you cannot afford heavy armor (like 95% of people did).If you have a choice between light and heavy armor, heavy armor is nearly always objectively better.
>>732300957Probably knight unless you just want to do a lot of dodging.
>>732302268>>732302656>>732302850I hate "realistic" slop.In fantasy games you can have the classic heavy armor warrior, the shirtless muscular raging barbarian, the charismatic romantic swashbuckler guy with a rapier, the quick and stealthy leather armor guy, the unarmed punch monk and so on.But in "realistic" slop you just have the shitty poor soldier with a pointy stick in a baggy jacket or the full plate armor knight and nothing else.
>>732303243Then go play your fucking D&D or something, nerd
>>732303243I think avowed is more up your speed
>>732303243You have like a gazillion 4 niggas in a row games or some jap ninja shit and when one game tries to do something different you’ll shit your pants. Get a grip homie.
>>732303243>play Knight sim>complains he has to play as knight Go be stupid somewhere else
>>732300957This isn't hogwarts anon, put on the armor.
Am I right in thinking there is literally zero benefit to light armor?In combat it only helps if you are dodging, which is basically pointless when you have perfect block and master strikes.If you want to steal stuff you can just take your armor off instead.Also you can forget about sneaking up on people in bandit camps and assassinating them. Doesn't really work.Heavy armor looks better and protects you better.
>>732303243Based. This post is causing so much seethe
>>732303995Just tired of seeing Americans being dumb
>>732303618>>732303243if you wanna be realistic, such warriors in real life literally prefered lighter armor more often than notsomeone in henry's situation with how much he travels and does shit, and how much shit he carries, would be 99999% opposed to wearing heavy plate around
>>732303995yeah you're seething
Plate if you're being an honorable knight, light armor to be a sneaky thief asshole.This is objectively the correct answer btw
>>732304061Nah Henry is a Knight's Templar
>>732304061If it was 100% realistic, Henry wouldn't be able to take the armor off or put it on by himself. That's what squires were for. But it's a video game so fun beats the more boring bits of realisme
>>732304061>such warriors in real life literally prefered lighter armor more often than notNot if they valued their fucking lives, are you stupid?Only brokies didn't wear plated armor
>>732303243magic caster with big booba cleaveage is my fav
>>732303845>Also you can forget about sneaking up on people in bandit camps and assassinating them. Doesn't really work. It absolutely does, but you have to have decent stealth skills. Light armor is better for being dishonorable, other than that then yes plate is the way to go >>732304053>Americans made KCD Post your country so I can insult it, fool
>>732303243You rattled some feathers with this post lol
>>732304571Learn to read faggot
>>732304596You can stop samefagging now
>>732304484>Only brokies didn't wear plated armorOkay, but do you really think knights wore plate armor 24/7? They put on armor before a battle or a tournament.
>>732304596yeah your feathers
>post unsolicited retarded dogshit opinion>anons call you retardedHehe he really got em
>>732304596Because it's just dumb, acting like realistic armor systems are slop and it's hard to find anything else. Like wat lol
>>732300957The main campaign does not require Henry to armour up like a knight since in all major battles you are assisted with AI troops and unkillable ones like your daddeh and Sir Bernard in the very end.Going full light armour is suicide in higher difficulty especially in that mercenary band DLC.In KCD1 where Henry can't swap outfits your daily driver should be a minmaxed stealth outfit and a medium armour build similar to what he wears in cutscenes.If you Skalitzmaxxx and steal all of Talmberg's armoury make sure to wear simple clothing when speaking with Father Godwin for the first time, even better if you don't put points into Speech otherwise you'll miss his entire questline and you'll get mildly punished for it in the Johanka DLC.
>>732305391But if you do his quest line then you can't get the Virgin achievement
>>732307435You can't get all of KCD1's achievements in one run unlike in KCD2 where you have to kneecap yourself in not killing animals and eating meat.KCD1 has hardcore mode achievements but not KCD2.
>>732300957Armor doesn't really matter, once you master grapples and/or master cuts you'll steamroll everything in your underwear
It’s and rpg your ability is defined by begin the evens stats rolls. (Objectively how every western rpg should be to the end of time) Just pick the stats you want and focus on those
>>732304571>Light armor is better for being dishonorable, other than that then yes plate is the way to go.Dishonourable just refers to stealing shit.
>>732300957The best experience this game gave me when is pressed the Esc button and quit to desktop. I could cum I was so relieved and decided to end it on a high note, so never opened it again. Thank you vavra
>>732300957Good plate armor basically makes you invulnerable to damage, and you can mitigate encumberance with perks later on.For weapons the cheesiest way to play is to just use a mace or warhammer and bonk people since it ignores armor and 2-shots everyone, if you still have some dignity though I'd use a longsword.
KCD1 forces you to learn the longsword but the most OP weapon is the bailiff's mace, it literally oneshots enemies in armour which you'll encounter more as you play through the game.Cuman bow + better long distance arrows + bailiff's mace and a shield will cheese through any playthrough.KCD2 just flats out nerfs every other weapon outside of the bow and longsword.
>>732304596>>732303995>Causing a stir with bait is a good thing because... it just isWoah... bros... that's so deep...
>>732300957Plate Armor with the highest charisma possible, and get another set of light clothes for sneaking, black clothes have better stats for thatMost of my armor was from killing bandits and stealing it
>>732300957You can get to 0 noise 0 visibility when outdoors in dark brigantine with the right perks. This is by far the best setup in the game.
>>732300957idk just use the poking sword and abuse the fuck out of alchemy
>>732300957Use light armor and 1 handed swords like hunting knives and then medium armor like picrel and a longsword in lategameAvoid archery it just slows the game downIn KCD2 use longswords and light armor early game and then once you get enough money, buy full plate armor and a poleaxe/halberd
>>732312391You dont need best in slot in kcd, theres only one difficulty setting and its easy
>>732300957>full plated armor>heavy warhammer>run into bandit camps>walk away with all their armor to sell>rinse and repeatLove this game
>>732313106Anon was asking what's better, not what's neededThe answer is objectively speaking the stealthy medium armour buildSo heavy armour, technically, because the heavy armour perks are what buff that loadout
Archery is powerful when you get good at it. You can just pop an arrow right into people's faces, BOOM HEADSHOT.
>>732313479That’s the best feeling in the world. Every time I restart this game, bow is the first thing I level up to 20. Besides, chumps is a fun game.
>>732313479I already did this in skyrim>watch the same draw and release animation over and overNot as cool as sword finishers imo
>>732313479>Start game>Rush literacy quest>Learn alchemy>Make poison, nighthawk, buck's blood and bowman'sYou're literally untouchable after that
>>732311704Having to change outfits is very tiresome though.
>>732313479How do you aim without crosshairs? All my shots miss horribly lol.
>>732300957Plate armor because it looks more knightly. You want to increase your knightly-ness.
>>732315367NTA. The crosshair is a bit above your bow hand. It is still the center of the screen, so sometimes I hunted with my bow 'sheathed' and lined my crosshair up before taking my bow out.
>>732300957Plate because the whole game is a gankfest.
>>732303243>I hate "realistic" slop.Then stop KCD nigga Play avowed or tainted grail
>>732318485She's meaty alright
>>732315367It's just practice. It's not too hard, don't overthink it
>>732300957just put on everything that you can for combat, wear only rags for sneaking, charismamaxx to pass skill check. if you do every sidequests you should be able to max out the all 3 character builds
>>732315236Thwres a button for it in 2
>>732318485Wow that looks a lot better than the maids in kcd1 lol
>>732319638For whatever reason in kcd2 they have all of them bodies of South American pornstars
>>732315236I didn't find it so bad.But I don't steal or loot armor so my inventory is probably cleaner than average.
is it possible/good/fun to play this game as a total stealth/thief character? Or do you really need to be an armor guy.
>>732323835No, you can only play it as a pious blacksmiths son. Stealing is a sin you know!
>>732303243>we get one (1) semi realistic rpg>NOOOOO I HATE REALISM SLOP I HATE ITTTT
>>732326284I did this
Light armor and fencing are for second playtrough where you go full stealth backstabbing poisoning rat in the night and do hunting in the woods in the morning.
>>732300957The strongest strategy in the game is Horse + Sword. It's better to wear heavy armor since the perks of light armor are moot when you are on a horse.
>>732326284>Stealing is a sin you know!It's not stealing if the owner is dead.
>>732323835Some missions can be as a sneak mister but a lot of them require combat and armor
>>732309291That's not true. After you get the appropriate perks, shortsword easily beats the longsword. Plus, they've really buffed up the other weapons in patches, so now some get better results with maces and such.
>>732330576No one in KCD2 uses shortswords outside of the very early game.Once players acquire Radzig's sword it's the only sword everyone uses until the absolute end.
Is there a way to pick up and play this game without reading a bunch of tutorials?
>>732330626You don't have to read much at all. A lot of the combat mechanics are explained through interactive tutorials in the game.
>>732313260Stealth doesn't help you on a horse. It's better to just get armor.
>>732323835Most of the quests have multiple ways to complete them so you can be a rizzler thief. Thieving can also easily break the in-game economy once you figure out the exploits. Still its good to carry some armor as a back up because in some quests combat is unavoidable.
>>732308872>Longsword is more dignified weapon than mace somehowIf you had some dignity, you would use the mace despite being worse than the longsword.But when the mace is better than the lingsword, still using the longsword would make you an idiot, nothing more.
>>732315236Literally just set them as presets. One for combat, one for stealth/hunting and one for charismaxxed town outfit.
>>732303845>doesn't know how to use paragraphs correctlyKids like you shouldn't be on 4chan, don't do drugs and stay in school little guy
>>732330626Dwag a good rule of thumb with any games is not reading anything until you hit the wallthat being said, train with bernard as soon as you can you'll need that
How would Henry fare at the Tourney of Ashford?
>>732332380Drink one schnapps and then beat everyone to a pulp.
>>732300957It’s better to uninstall.
>>732332684lmao everyone laugh at this guy, he got filtered by an rpg hahahah
