Because if you define specific and measurable goals within your term people might judge you for failing to meet them.

From a strategic perspective it’s a lot simpler to promise things far away because unless you are in power for the whole duration you can blame “the other side” for not being able to meet the goal when the deadline finally arrives.

Wait, people only read the title and not the article? I’m shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

OP, I think you either used the wrong headline or the wrong link because they don’t match.

Well, it’s less about the historical events but the implications these events might have for the upcoming game that I don’t want to spoil for people.

and start the player on fresh ground without having to hit his head to reset him back to a low level character sheet.

Well, obviously Henry lost all but his smithing skills while working in Skalitz for a couple of years. Just making stuff up but here’s my take:

• Hans gets married off
• Henry moves with Theresa back to Skalitz
• … time passes …
• Hans shows up in Skalitz because he is dying of boredom from being a “responsible adult”
• “Henry mate, I heard our friend X has this thing going on. Let’s go and check it out”
• “Na, mate. I am good here. It’s not much, but it’s honest work”.
• Erik shows up with a war band from the opposing side, using the new conflict for his own vendetta.
• Henry's reaction

Edit: Aaaaaaactually Henry being in the new game makes perfect sense. Theresa mentions specifically in game one that she wants to go to Prague and see the guy responsible for the whole mess that is about to go down. So yeah: Henry and Theresa go to Prague get caught up in the whole affair, and we can either pick playing as Henry or Theresa or play Theresa and there is no need for a character reset for Henry.

Guess they should hire me as a writer if that’s not what they have come up with already.

There’s a pretty significant main character of KCD2 that, I’m told, the thing he’s known for in history has not happened yet by the time KCD2 ends.

But in my opinion it is very unlikely that they will be the main character of the new game for storytelling reasons. If you are the figurehead of a movement you can’t simply walk up to the other side and explore their motives. Which is the same reason why KCD 1 and 2 features Henry and is not played from the point of view of i.e. Sigismund of Hungary. A minor character is needed, so the player can move between parties and see and understand both sides of the conflict.

Plus he has a pretty solid conclusion to his story at the end of 2.

The more I thought about it, the more I was agreeing with you. Hans is going to be married off for political reasons and Theresa is waiting for Henry back at Rattay. However, no matter what you do there is one loose end that is specifically brought up in every conversation at the end: Erik, who is out for Henry’s blood.

but probably not Henry of Skalitz.

Why not?

Well, being generous I guess Russia might have captured the place where the village once was.

But that would be a lot like someone claiming to have captured the airfield a couple villages further down my place which hasn’t been used since WW2 and is mostly an overgrown field by now.

That depends. Does your country of origin have an extradition agreement with the Philippines?

Oh no! Who could have predicted that there is a connection to Trump? /s

I’m not sure you intended to share the submission in this community.

I liked that the third movie ever so slightly addressed the tatic of divide and conquer used many times in colonialism. But other than that? Yeah, same as before.

IMHO the second and third movie should have been merged.

Imagine:

• You sit on your couch.
• Rip & Tear starts playing.
• You notice a faint smell of smoke …
