Does Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Have Difficulty Options?
Unfortunately, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* does not offer any difficulty settings. This means you can't adjust the game to be easier or harder. The game comes with a single default difficulty level, providing a uniform experience for all players. However, as you progress, the game tends to become more manageable. Here are some tips to help you navigate its challenges:
- Get a Bed ASAP: Early in the game, secure a bed for resting and saving your progress. Sleeping not only saves your game but also heals your character. It's safer to rest at night to avoid dangers and start fresh the next day.
- Follow the Main Questline: Begin with the "Wedding Crashers" quest. Completing quests for characters like the blacksmith or the miller introduces you to the game's mechanics and rewards you with Groschen, which you can use to purchase essential items and weapons.
- Save Your Game Often: Use Saviour Schnapps to save your game while exploring the open world. Although the game auto-saves at quest checkpoints, manual saves can be a lifesaver.
How to Unlock Hardcore Mode
If you're up for an even greater challenge, Hardcore Mode is on the roadmap for *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. This mode will be added via an update post-launch, increasing the difficulty by making enemies stronger and starting you with a negative perk. Once you begin a Hardcore playthrough, you won't be able to switch back to the standard mode.
