Does Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Have Difficulty Options?
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* does not offer any adjustable difficulty settings. This means players cannot alter the game's difficulty to make it easier or harder. The game comes with a single default difficulty level, designed to provide a consistent experience for all players. However, the game becomes more manageable as you gain more experience. Here are some tips to help ease your journey:
- Get a Bed ASAP: Early in the game, secure a bed for sleeping. This not only allows you to save your game but also helps in healing. Sleeping is crucial as it's safer than wandering at night.
- Follow the Main Questline: Start with the "Wedding Crashers" quest. Completing quests for the blacksmith or the miller will familiarize you with the game mechanics and reward you with Groschen, the game's currency, which you can use to purchase essential items and weapons.
- Save Frequently: Use Saviour Schnapps to save your game while exploring the open world. The game auto-saves at quest checkpoints, but manual saves are invaluable.
How to Unlock Hardcore Mode
For those seeking an even greater challenge, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* plans to introduce Hardcore Mode via a post-launch update. This mode will increase the game's difficulty by making enemies more formidable and starting you with a negative perk. Once you begin a Hardcore playthrough, you won't be able to adjust the difficulty settings during that playthrough.
That covers everything you need to know about difficulty adjustments in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and detailed information, be sure to check out The Escapist.
