Absolutely. Portraying a relationship as less meaningful unless there are romantic underpinnings somewhere is weird. It's just the "checkbox insert" thing cynically insinuates that they like had a gayness quota to fill. Whatever, my point is that it's undeniably a good game. Check it out if you're into medieval Europe stuff. You don't have to play the first one, although you'd be missing out.

Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I'll come out on.

Suffice to say, you have a rough start of it. You're born into the peasantry. You're fragile. You can't fight your way out of a wet cardboard box. I don't know why this stuck with me in particular, but you're illiterate. As you progress, life gets easier. Point being, the roleplay necessitates hard as hell combat and lack of QOL stuff.

IDK I'm into swords and horsies. Give it a shot, I'd say.
