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.

Scared yet?

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

There is a reason why May you live in interesting times is considered a curse.

The “trick” is to eat it slowly, let it melt in your mouth. Regular chocolate is full of sugar so you get that sweet instantaneous sugar rush.

Muh freedom!!!11! /s

Imperial capitalism. Not so funny when you are on the receiving end, eh?

Jimmy is also a bit oft a diva.

Maybe, but as far as I know, Sundays are paid more

Do you think this stays the same as it now if Sunday becomes just a regular working day? I highly doubt it.

There already are people who work on Sundays/Holidays

Indeed there are. That’s why I wrote “the vast majority” and not “everyone”. Just because there are exceptions to the rule we shouldn’t simply abandon the rule, though.
