The level of detail they went to was ludicrous.I’ll probably hold off buying either for the meantime as I’ve got myself hooked on Kingdom Come: Deliverance and it’s a complete life eater. I’ve never properly played an RPG before and I can see how people get hooked and spend hundreds of hours on them.
One of the things I like most about it is there’s no sci-fi or fantasy elements to it and it’s very realistic in many ways. You start out as a peasant who is useless at everything and have to learn how to do everything from scratch, even read, which is ridiculous in all honesty but it gives you an idea of the depth to it. Every battle, even 1v1 is a huge challenge where you can quite easily die, so It’s a refreshing change from playing as a hero who is tough as nails from the off.
It’s based on true historic events too which is pretty cool.
I've seen YouTube vids of actual historians critiquing the authenticity of things like the clothing, buildings and interiors and it all checks out as historically accurate.
The only real gripe they had was the interiors of the peasant huts were too big, but the devs ''Warhorse' responded saying this was a concession to make AI pathing less troublesome.
It's even based and mapped on a real region of the Czech Republic.
