The attention to detail in this game is incredible. The map, the architecture, everything is there with purpose. The artwork is gorgeous. From maps to the frescoes on walls and vaulted ceilings, to shop signs and tapestries, it is a labour of love, and it shows. It is a complex game with a decent learning curve. In the beginning, Henry feels awkward and almost useless, and can be quite a grind to subsist in this medieval world. But once you start getting the hang of the game mechanics, and honing your skills, it becomes quite a lot of fun. Sure, it's got a few bugs, but these days it is hard not to see those in a game of this magnitude and ambition. As the game gets patched, these have been going down, and making the game experience better and better. There's quite a few excellent mods out there as well, that help you customize your game experience further. The combat system is very enjoyable. The variety in weapons and armour is great (although there can always be more!) The story is interesting and the quests are varied enough to not feel super repetitive. It also has a gives you a good ammount of knowledge about medieval life and particularly, Bohemian history from the period. I am eagerly awaiting a sequel to KDC, which I know will be even better!
