Inspired by Punisher's recent game thread, I thought I'd make a thread about this upcoming game I just found out about a while ago, as I'd like to think there are people on this site who'd be interested. 
The game's called Kingdom Come: Deliverance, developed by Warhorse Studios. It's advertising itself with the slogan "Dungeons & No Dragons", aiming to create a realistic medieval RPG, with the map (which according to Warhorse is around the size of Oblivion's map) built on actual Czech locations. The gameplay seems like improved Skyrim, mixed with some elements of Red Dead Redemption. It also throws in some elements from The Sims, with the player having to sleep, eat, wash his clothes etc. to survive. The graphics, even while currently unfinished, are looking gorgeous and there's a new, realistic combat system that looks to be amazing. Especially the large scale battles and castle sieges look incredible, with the player being thrown on the battlefield to survive. Unlike with Skyrim, their goal doesn't seem to be to create a game that throws constant quests and dungeons at the player, but instead they're trying to have quality over quantity. There's also going to be a lot of minigames, where you actually play them instead of just clicking in a choice menu. The NPCs have their daily routines and seem to be the most realistic NPCs I've seen in a game to-date. There aren't any classes for the player to choose from, but instead the choices he makes during the game effect his skills/reputation, with no turning back. There also aren't any spells or monsters, to add to the realistic medieval setting they are trying to achieve.
The most amazing thing about this game, however, is that it was so far mostly developed by a group of only 30 people (recently grown to a group of 70), and it is completely funded by private investors and Kickstarter.
I'm not much of a gamer these days, but gotta say that this one looks to be amazing, and I'll be a sure buyer when it comes out. It has everything that Skyrim did right, but it fixes/removes things I didn't enjoy in Skyrim, as well as adding a ton of stuff. It even shares some elements with Dink, having 16 equippable slots, haha. And I think it's nice to see a medieval game that tries to be just a medieval game, for once. Instead of taking the easy way out and going with the typical dragon/monster/fireball fantasy stuff that we've seen far too many times. Furthermore, it just seems like this is a labour of love for the creators, and not just a way to make money, which always makes for better games.
Currently it's set to come out in late 2015, so everything online is just a very early version, and it already looks amazing. But you can also get an early beta or alpha version this Autumn, if you pledge money for the project.
So yeah, just thought I'd share this, as it looks to be an incredible, even revolutionary game. And Dink's a medieval game, so there are probably people on this site who'd be interested. Any thoughts?
