Kingdom Come Deliverance: Good News and Bad News

Warning: Spoilers

It didn’t take too long to tire of grinding stats or dealing with the Farkle scoring conundrum for that matter. So it’s been on to the main quest and moments of triumph and sadness for Henry. He had attempted and failed at this quest already and thanks to a guide I knew that this big battle preceded a boss battle hence all the preparation.

I was hoping that Henry would be able to pop a couple of potions in between the battles but of course not. Other than not quite full health, Henry was in good shape for the boss fight. It took 6 or 7 tries. I knew Henry could win because Henry’s wasn’t the only blood flying but I was still shocked when the extended kill animation cut scene loaded in. Henry was competent and savage. I was thrilled. There was of course some humorous reminders after the fact that Henry is still a novice. He didn’t get Radzig’s sword back either.

After the cut scenes ended all open quest options concerning Matthew and Fritz ominously failed. It could only mean that avoiding the issue had sealed their fate in some way. I’m sure Henry will find out at some point. In the meantime, he returned to Rattay and discovered that for all his strenuous effort his reward is a room at Radzig’s current castle. I’ll admit that’s more convenient for Henry but how will Theresa take this? Will Theresa tolerate Henry just dropping by now and then for clothing repairs and a charisma boost? He might have to up his gift giving game.

His visit to Sir Radzig and Sir Hanush only garnered more missions. He attempted to fast travel to Pribyslavitz hoping to find some post combat loot but was interrupted on the road to Merhojed and received news of plague in the town. Henry decided that plague wasn’t something to dally on and he is now busying himself with resolving that. He was, mind you, inclined to avoid that situation too but his new missions are dependent on Merhojed so that didn’t seem like a good option.

I am still elated that Henry got through that boss fight. I can already see some new options open on the map. The quest for coin has just intensified.
