Omori is more than just a Sad Game
Hello!

    No you're exactly right - the Master Strike is critical and the difference between it and a Perfect Block and a Parry/Riposte are not explained well enough, unfortunately. Getting the hang of the Master Strike gets you through basically any one on one encounter, and then the real challenge will come from fighting multiple enemies at once on your own, at which point you should be using potions /poisons to help thin out the herd at the start. And combos are very hard to pull off cuz any enemy that you might want to actually use them against(a tougher one you want to kill quickly) will likely Perfect Block/Master Strike your attacks at some point in the combo and you have no real control over that.

    I think the difference is that women are portrayed as women of the time. You have a noble lady with an aging husband and she desires love and companionship. A woman who helped the sick and wounded people and she had to fight against the troubles of this time and the church. A woman who lost everything and survived severe trauma and still helped Henry. Isn’t it better to show the hardship of women at this time rather than a portrayal of women like Jeanne d’Arc who were the absolute exception or women who are just a modern fantasy? The same is with gay people. There is this monk who is obviously gay and had no other option but joining a monastery.

    • @catalystiic
      @catalystiic 11 днів тому

      @poppi510 I completely agree with you! I wasn't expecting a game like this to have stereotypical "powerful" women, honestly women being portrayed as only strong can get dull! We need variety. But i loved the way Warhorse portrayed the women as strong but in grounded ways. As you said they're of the time, making due with what they have. And I can't believe I didn't mention the gay monk, you're the second comment to mention him. Literally such a sad discovery to make within the monastery yet it makes perfect sense for the time period.

I don’t understand why people re so obsessed with the modernisation of history? In my opinion it completely disregards all the actual lives of these people. Assassins Creed Odyssey completely whitewashed the ancient society for example, it doesn’t make it a bad game, but can’t it be possible that there is a game which takes historical authenticity more seriously? Does this really make the creators of this game and the people who like this game bigots and racists like some say ? I grew up in the border region of Bavaria (Germany), Austria and Czechia btw..

      ​@poppi510 I had a different reading of Lady Stephanie. To me, it seemed like Sir Divish got physically ...damaged... in captivity, and she's trying to get him an heir with (basically) the only outsider she trusts to keep her secret. If you allow your He ry to be seduced, she no longer interacts with you, so companionship seems off. She knows Divish won't come in, and when you leave, he is in the chapel down the hall praying. (Praying for a son? Praying for forgiveness?) Not having an heir would be a deep shame for him. Also, a childless widow, at the time, is in a very vulnerable state, (and as she says, her husband is old and in not great shape) but the mother of an heir has more power and influence over what happens.

    The Kingdom of Bohemia was part of the Holy Roman Empire and the King of Bohemia was a vassal of the German King with the state offical titel "Arch Cupbearer". The German King was an elected King by the votes of an electorate of 7 Prince Electors. Those 7 were "the Arch Cupbearer" + "the Arch Truchsess" + "the Arch Marshal" + "the Arch Chamberlain" + 3 Arch Bishops who also had administrative power being chancellors of the Empire = 4 noble men + 3 clergy men who all had "state officials status" and elected any head of any aristocratic House of the Holy Roman Empire to become German King. And that elected German King got then announced "Emperor" by the Pope in Rome. To know that is important to understand what is actually happening in KDC. KDC is imbeded in the historical events of Wencel of Luxembourg and his half brother Sigismund of Luxembourg. The Bohemian King Wencel of Luxembourg got elected for the German Kingship and became Emperor but then happened to be a weak ruler or way better said he didn´t rule at all. = Didn´t rule his Aristocratic House of Luxembourg, didn´t rule his Kingdom Bohemia and didn´t rule the Empire but solely lived a life of "fun" so to say instead "doing his job"...at least in the view of some noblemen both in the Empire and in his Kingdom Bohemia. (=Although the fact that his ruling was heavily questioned is a sign of weak ruling anyway, isn´t it) His half brother Sigismund of Luxembourg was King of Hungary which - wasn´t - part of the Holy Roman Empire (that is important to understand) but he had the ambition becoming Head of his aristocratic House = the House of Luxembourg and as such becoming an influencial nobleman in the H.R.E. (= a candidate for the German Kingship the requirement for Emperorship + with the Bohemian crown even becoming member of the electorate/a Prince Elector = the Arch Cupbearer).. and some few noblemen of the Holy Roman Empire who were not satisfied with Wencel´s Emperorship + some local Bohemian noblemen who weren´t satisfied with his Bohemian Kingship supported Sigismund which opened the opportunity for Sigismund to follow his ambitions because he had enough support. And because Hungary wasn´t part of the Empire Sigismund simply - needed - the Bohemian crown in the first place to be "in the game" in order to become a nobleman - within - the Empire + also simultaneously become head of his aristocratic House and as such a candidate for the German kingship which is the requirement for getting announced Emperor + even becoming a member of the electorate which is already 1 vote for himself when a new German king got elected after the current one /Wencel died =The Bohemian crown was already in the hands of the aristocratic House of Luxembourg therefore Sigismund´s powergrab attempt is "a pure family matter/affair" so other Houses had officially no right to interfere without causing a civil war in the entire Empire so it was just local in Bohemia - and it also was "no attack of Hungary against the Empire" which it would had been if Sigismund weren´t familiary tied to the Bohemian crown or if he had invaded somewhere else in the Empire.. That is basically the actual historical background for the story of KDC = "very simplyfied explained" . Henry is a subserviant and what then got exposed during the game a secret/illegitimate son of a nobleman (= Sir Ratzig) who supports Wencel = a totally fictional story imbeded in actual historical events The historical outcome of that "feud between brothers" if Sigismund succeeded at the end or if Wencel succeeded at the end or maybe both basically lost at the end you can read in history books.

    I am being honest here. I only worry about the devs, not these big companies. There's no shortage of good old games to play if you know how to play them. Some you can get officially others don't. Gaming has becoming either too aggressive towards micro transactions or boring. There's no in-between in the big companies landscape. Well, there's indies.

    Like, honestly? The biggest departure from history is that Markvart von Aulitz is alive when he died in 1402 (after sieging Kutna Hora but before Skalice was raided). And Henry wasn't a real person. The events of the game didn't happen, except when they did, Skalice was attacked and the town fled under cover of a rain storm. When the game touches on history it doesn't deviate much from it but it is historical fiction the same as any other work of historical fiction. Part of it is that there are plenty of gaps in what's known - like the most well known thing about Racek Kobyla is how he died . Practically nothing's known about him before he was hetman at Skalice. Presumably he was from Dvorce (on account of being called Racek Kobyla of Dvorce.) In the game they left a goat behind in the castle when the population of the town sneaked away, in real life it was one old woman who refused to leave and a pig. Jan Ptáček was aged up a few years - he was 15 in 1403. ...In fact the biggest overall change, and I'm not sure why they did this, but all the names are German rather than Czech. Hans Capon was Jan Ptáček z Pirkštejna, Hanush was Hanuš, Divish was Diviš and Talmberg was Talmberk. Silver (Silber?) Skalitz was Stříbrná Skalice. Rattay is Rataje, etc. ...the more shaped brigandines are a little anachronistic? I think the architecture and tailoring is real?

      @@catalystiic If you are interested in ancient Greek history I would recommend a series by Marry Renault. The best known of the novels is 'Fire from Heaven' about the life of Alexander the Great, but the whole series is great. She is true to the history of the period although most plots are fictitious. One caveat, she does not shy away from the issue of same sex relationships at that time, which makes some people uncomfortable. Another one you may like is Marion Zimmer Bradley's 'The Mists of Avalon'. This is a retelling of the Arthurian legend from a female perspective, specially Morgaine le Fay. This one is fantasy but inspired by the daily life and legends of Arthurian England, or as much as we know of it.

      I presume they changed the names to their German equivalents in order for the Anglosphere audience to have an easier time pronouncing them.

    I rarely used the masterstrikes myself, perfect block and riposte was my sword fighting technique. Definitely used horseback archery and sometimes the sword on horseback as well to take out bigger groups (used a long-sword during my play-through) At face value it does look like a game for "the boys" but the moment you start playing you notice that fighting isn't the sole way to go about things. It's still part of it, but you can 100% get out of a ton of fights. I've lost over an hour of gameplay once... But since I knew what I was doing the next time I could get it done in 15 minutes flat. Still bummed me out though, but I shouldn't have forgotten to save. Plenty of savior schnapps in stock always!

    I discovered combos are difficult to pull off as most opponents will dodge or block/counter your combo attempts anyway. Master strikes and clinching-then striking is the way to go. I used the mace for quite a while because it ignored armor protection and it was leathal with the Headcracker perk, but it was very slow. Then I got Stinger, and now I just rapidly stab my foes in the face.

    After trying out several of them, I only ended up using one combo through my entire gameplay. It was fast and easier to execute because it had a lot of the stab moves, which is the easiest move to execute in a combo. Plus, I don't know if it's faster overall or if I just got lucky, but it seemed like the opponents were way less likely to counter when I used that combo compared to the other ones. The most annoying bug I had was after you meet the bandits at the mill, who are trying to find Timmy. I send them to Rattay and then killed them one by one as they were leaving. However, it seems like if you do that, there's a very frequent bug where the game doesn't properly register that you've killed them, so they actually appear in Rattay later on, but because they are technically dead, he guards don't register them properly. So the bandits can kill people in Rattay, but if you try to kill the bandits, the guards will see that as a murder. The only way to get rid of them as far as I've noticed was to have the bandits attack someone right in front of a guard. That's when the guards agro. So I reloaded several times until the loss on lives was minimal and I managed to bait the bandits into attacking in front of a guard. I was really happy I managed, because if I had to go back to the mill, that was actually a big chunk of my gameplay, since it took the bandits a long time to get to Rattay.
