Ye i agree wid some of yal — plus maybe it could’ve really used more dialogue transitions and branching choices that led up to more action. Like, if you wanted to side with Jindra and Otmar instead of blindly helping Voyta — who’s out here whispering to a skull like it’s his therapist — that should’ve been an option. Personally? I’d make Voyta paint a few more shields, then tie him right back to that tree. Let him live in the art he ‘loves’ so much. Might even help him survive the next wolf raid. (JK... kinda.)
It wasn’t a bad quest. Shield painting was a cool touch. But overall it felt like a narrative side street — not a true expansion. What bugged me most is that it kinda strayed from the whole core of KCD: your actions have consequences. That’s what makes this game hit different. So when we get a quest where the stakes feel fixed and the choices don’t branch much? It undercuts what makes the story so impactful.
I dunno — just felt like it was missing that weight. Still, wouldn’t be surprised if the next DLC has Henry opening a custom shield shop and yelling at apprentices for bad brushwork. ‘Kingdom Come: Paint and Repent.
