Kingdom Come: Deliverance patch 1.6 voegt een hardcore mode toe aan de game en fikst verder weer talloze bugs. Met de hardcore mode die ontwikkelaar Warhorse Studios implementeert, wordt de RPG nog net wat moeilijker, zoals verwacht.
De modus verandert de game in een meer survival-achtige RPG, waarbij je nog beter moeten letten op Henry’s health, stamina, energie en voeding, inclusief de locaties waar je je bevindt. Kingdom Come wordt met deze toevoeging bijna een life simulation en je zult dan ook moeten oppassen met wie je in gevecht gaat, want je leven kan zo voorbij zijn.
Niet alleen het spel zelf is moeilijker gemaakt met de hardcore mode, ook door aanpassingen in de mechanics zorgt Warhorse voor een lastiger pakket aan gameplay. Zo zijn Noord, Oost, Zuid en West weggehaald van het kompas en er wordt alleen de weg gewezen als je dichtbij een waypoint bent. Zodoende kun je niet fast travelen, heb je geen autosave meer, beloningen zijn minder en moet je twee uit onderstaande perks kiezen. Bekijk hieronder alle veranderingen door patch 1.6.
PerksKingdom Come: Deliverance is op 13 februari verschenen voor PlayStation 4, Xbox One en pc.Nightmares: Every time you wake up you are shaken from your nightmare and suffer a short-term debuff. Sleeping becomes more of a “tactical” choice. Claustrophobic: When you close your helmet visor, your attack lowers. You have to choose between better protection or higher attack. Hemophilia: You bleed more which makes taking hits in combat riskier. Numbskull: Lowers your XP gain. A perfect perk for players who thought the vanilla skill progression was too fast and felt overpowered in the late game. It’s more work to out level your opponents with this perk. Shakes: For true sadists. Makes aiming a bow and picking pockets and locks harder. Consumption: Your stamina regenerates slower. Combat is more challenging and requires thinking ahead of each strike Tapeworm: You get hungry faster, and since eating from pots around the world is no longer such a viable option, this makes the survival element even more prominent. Sonambulant: Fun perk. There is a slight chance you will wake up somewhere else than where you fell asleep. Provides quite a challenge when you wake up in an unknown place and can’t see your position on the map. Very rarely you can also sleepwalk your place to some secret areas. Brittle Bones: You must be careful while running down cliffs and riding a horse. Falls are more dangerous. New feature Added “Disable tutorials” setting in the game options. Fixed Bugs Henry’s trunk in huntsman’s lodge no longer has “Rob” prompt. Knocking out Nicholas in Cherchez la Femme no longer breaks the quest. Fixed bug in Nasty Habits which sometimes prevented player from delivering wine. Fixed light optimization that caused freezes while riding a horse for a prolonged time. Hans Capon no longer sleeps till Judgment Day after completion of The Prey quest. Killing NPCs in Playing with the Devil quest properly fails it. Killing executioner Hermann should no longer tank the player’s reputation. Guards react faster to knocking someone out and carrying the body. Fixed numerous bugs in quest Aquarius. You can no longer drink-a-port from Talmberg castle in Run! quest. NPCs react faster to player’s surrender. Standing up before dice minigame with Nightingale no longer breaks Keeping the Peace quest. Fixed another bug affecting bird cages in A Bird in the Hand quest. Guards should no longer attack player after he’s paid a fine or talked his way out of punishment. Crouch does not immediately trigger stealth music.
