OTOH, the combat system was ****ING HORRIBLE and goddamn, it was so brutally, unnecessarily difficult. I've mentioned before that I could shoot a bow better in real life as a child than Hal could with maxed out archery skills, and I didn't even do it all that much. I must have rage quit that ****er a hundred times, but finally powered through it. I just don't think I have the patience for it anymore.
KCD with Bethesda game mechanics would have been so awesome that it would make Witcher 3 look like Pong by comparison.

For what it's worth, and as someone who skipped the first one due to the aforementioned issues, apparently it's night and day between the games as far as approachability, combat, and removal of Jank. Opinions and all, but I think KCD2 is the greatest game ever made (not my favorite game, that would be Helldivers 2).
It's a stunning achievement in narrative work, player choice and agency, and RPG systems.
This two are such bros. The antithesis of the modern gaming industry.
