For those who felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* lacked sufficient difficulty, developers Warhorse Studios are set to shake things up with an upcoming update. This patch will introduce a hardcore mode, offering players the chance to dive into a more challenging gameplay experience by activating specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus. These perks are designed to alter the gameplay significantly, making your journey through the medieval world even more immersive and demanding.
Players can select from a range of challenging perks, each adding its own set of complications:
- Sore Back: This perk reduces the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increases the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms. It's perfect for those who want to feel the burden of medieval life.
- Heavy Footsteps: With this perk, shoes wear out faster, and your character's steps become louder, making stealth a more challenging aspect of the game. Tread carefully!
- Dimwit: Slows experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously emphasized this drawback twice in the perk description, ensuring players know exactly what they're signing up for.
- Sweaty: This perk causes Henricus to become dirtier and smellier more quickly, which can impact social interactions. Hygiene is key in medieval times!
- Ugly Mug: Raises the likelihood of random encounters turning into difficult fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end. Your face might just be your biggest enemy.
These additions are crafted to provide a more immersive and challenging experience for players seeking a tougher adventure in the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills or just want to make the game more demanding, these perks offer a new way to explore the medieval landscape. Stay tuned for the update, and prepare to face the trials ahead with Henricus in this enriched gaming experience.
