Kingdom Come Deliverance: Das Skill- und Rüstungssystem – Übung macht den Meister

Kingdom Come Deliverance may not be an MMORPG, but it is still a very interesting role-playing game, about which the developers have now revealed a bit more.

Kingdom Come Deliverance simply looks stunning. Anyone who has walked through a forest in the currently available beta knows how forests can feel and should feel in a video game. But it is not just a fantastic visual experience in the game, it also features a deep RPG system. The developers at Warhorse Studios have now talked about this and the armor system.

Through training, you will get better

You possess various skills such as stealth, lockpicking, horse riding, or alchemy. By doing things frequently, like sneaking or fighting with a sword, the skill improves and you get better. This way, you can defeat your opponents faster or haggle better, getting better prices when trading. However, you won’t use every skill equally often. This doesn’t mean that someone who rarely practices alchemy can’t become better at it. It is possible to seek out teachers in the world who can help you increase the skills you rarely use for a fee.

Everyone in the world must sleep and eat. Both you and the NPCs. You can exploit this by waiting until an NPC goes to sleep and then poisoning their food. In the combat system, weapons and armor play a role. A mace, for example, is a blunt weapon that should be used when the opponent is fully armored and a piercing weapon is less effective against them.

Armor helps with quests

Armor consists of different layers. First comes the regular clothing, followed by a gambeson made of heavy linen fabric, which acts as padding. Then, a chainmail is worn. After that, comes the plate armor and the helmet. In the game, various pieces of clothing can be combined, so your hero can be equipped in a unique way. You can also craft armor yourself from raw materials. Armor is not only useful in combat.

For example, you can disguise yourself as a bandit and hope you won’t be detected in their camp. This way, quests in Kingdom Come Deliverance can be completed in various ways.

The story of the RPG is set in Europe in the year 1403. You are the son of a blacksmith who gets involved in an intrigue and is to help the rightful king regain his power.

The RPG is set to be released early next year for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
