Kingdom Come: Deliverance

[Tor!]

I watched this live and was quite impressed 

[Kafein]

It looks really good for a game with 2 years worth of development time left.

This. I don't quite know what exactly they are going to do programming-wise during those two years.

[Leesin]

I imagine there is a lot more work to be done than it seems, they are probably also giving themselves enough time to really polish this game off.

In multiple videos they have all spoken about how they need to add this or change that, all of which will take time. Personally it's nice to see how far along this game appears to be and still has 2 years of development left, they must really have some nice plans and depth to put into this game.

[Xant]

Yeah, and almost all of the combat etc is still "placeholder." Which is impressive, considering it already looks better than most games' combat.

I didn't watch all of the one hour gameplay, but I got the impression that you don't exactly start out as a legendary master swordsman...

That fight with the bandit looked more like two really good swordsmen facing off rather than some young squire vs random bandit. I hope fights will vary in length greatly. A prolonged duel doesn't make sense against most opponents.

Well, he said something about fine tuning the difficulty of opponents during the Bandit fight. So, it's very likely that it wasn't supposed to be that long of a fight.

[Kafein]

About the bandit fight demo, they said that the bandit was much thougher than intended.

And yes lots of stuff is placeholder, but I was asking precisely what they are going to do programming-wise. It seems their tools are ready, their engine is ready, their mechanics are mostly there, their AI system doesn't seem like it needs many more programmers either. The rest doesn't look like a two year job, from a programmer's viewpoint. This means excluding everything that isn't code. I'm fairly sure their 3D team, voice acting teams, level designers, artists, testers, sound designers, historians, writers and whathaveyou will be busy enough, though.

[Leesin]

I'm sure there is still a lot of code to write and polish for the final release, regardless of how complete the basics of the game are.

[Rumblood]

I wish with 2 years left to go a multiplayer aspect could be added, otherwise it will be a buy, play, and forget about it for me.

They are going to support modders community.
So we can look forward to some great mods for this game in future.

Or just don't play and watching videos...

Seriously, I want this game, because even if 2 years are remaining, it's already great compared to SP from mount and blade.

[Christo]

..it's already great compared to SP from mount and blade.

I wouldn't diss M&B singleplayer. The modability is insane, lots of variation and stuff to do.

+the original M&B experience is from like 2004 or something, if you count the first M&B betas.

Yep, that's ten years.

[Kafein]

Warband SP is awesome. I don't remember exactly which mod I used but there are quite a few that don't mess the game up with stupid content and rather improve the vanilla experience.

Vanilla Warband is my favorite so the only SP mod I use is Diplomacy.
