Ultimate Realism Overhaul

W H Y   D O E S   T H I S   M O D   E X I S T  ?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is Warhorse Studios' first major release. It is also their magnum opus.

It is an outstanding recreation of 15th century rural Bohemia, including beautiful landscapes and lively villages and towns.

The attention to detail is astonishing! It feels refreshingly easy to be immersed in Henry's story and the intricate workings of the medieval world.

I believe KC:D is a breath of fresh air in what's become a repetitive, tough industry and a fine example as to what an RPG should feel like.

I was astounded when I first made it to Rattay and the game opened up for me to explore. 70+ hours later and I am still enjoying and discovering new things.

However, throughout my playtime I have noticed many things that need tweaking in order to fully accomplish Warhorse's goal of total realism.

My goal is to enhance Warhorse's vision whilst staying true to the original game.

That is where this overhaul modification come in...

VERSION 1. 0. 5. 002 (04/04/18)

Ultimate Realism Overhaul is my personal attempt at balancing, increasing the difficulty, and promoting the realism of Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

The mod aims to improve various aspects of the game that were either too easy or didn't make sense in the vanilla edition.

For example, any challenge in the economy of the original game was easily subverted by selling looted armour or high-quantities of deer meat for exorbitant prices.

I imagine shopkeepers and artisans of fine wares probably wouldn't have purchased dented, blooded plate armour on a regular basis.

Other issues such as one-hitting late-game enemies and the general lack of urgency in the food/hunger system come to mind.

I have been working on this mod since day-one of the game's release.

Despite having played untold hours of the game, there are definitely still different play-styles, mechanics, and other features I have yet to test and experience.

As a result, this mod does not claim to transform the game into a 100% accurate medieval life simulator.

Neither does it claim to fix every imbalance in the entire game (although I try to come close!).

A small warning: This overhaul is designed to make the game more realistic.

As a result, the game is a LOT harder!

Playing with this mod make you feel weaker and very human.

Even securing essential needs such as food and sleep can be very difficult early on.

Expect to have to steal your food and sleep rough often.

Expect to lose fights early and often, especially when outnumbered.

Expect to struggle to make money and get by as a peasant in the harsh world of 1400s Bohemia.

But most of all... expect to have a lot of fun!

This mod is compatible with existing saves.

However, it was designed with a certain speed of progression in mind.

You may get a better experience by starting a new game, especially if using the economy module.
