Your first run from scratch could take 100 hours. Everything has been deliberately built around the vanilla questing experience, so the game will feel familiar yet operate very differently. If you have never played KCD2 before, this will probably make you hate the game. Nuzlocke modes are generally for people who are so familiar with a game that 'vanilla' is too boring. If you know the game well, th
