Does Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Have Difficulty Options?
Unfortunately, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* does not offer adjustable difficulty settings. This means players cannot alter the game's difficulty to make it easier or more challenging. The game features a single default difficulty level, designed to provide a consistent experience for all players. However, the game does become more manageable as you progress and gain experience. Here are some essential tips to help you navigate the game more easily if you're finding it tough:
- Secure a Bed Quickly: One of the first things you should do is find a bed where you can sleep. Not only does this allow you to save your game, but it also helps you heal. Sleeping is also a good way to avoid the dangers of nighttime travel, allowing you to rest and recover before continuing your journey.
- Follow the Main Questline: Start with the "Wedding Crashers" quest and follow the main storyline. Completing quests for the blacksmith or the miller early on will help you get familiar with the game's mechanics and earn some Groschen, which you can use to purchase essential items and weapons.
- Save Frequently: Use Saviour Schnapps to save your game while exploring the open world. Although the game auto-saves at quest checkpoints, manual saves give you more control over your progress.
How to Unlock Hardcore Mode
For those seeking an even greater challenge, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* has Hardcore Mode on its roadmap. This mode will be added via an update shortly after the game's release. Hardcore Mode will increase the difficulty by making enemies more formidable and starting you off with a negative perk. Once you begin a Hardcore playthrough, you won't be able to change the difficulty mid-game.
That covers everything you need to know about adjusting difficulty in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
