This game is NOT realistic at all. If you think this is realistic you have never likely used a bow, swung a real sword, had sex with a woman, danced with a woman, picked herbs, had a garden, went camping, ran for long distances, tode a horse, tried jousting on horse back or spent any time outside in the sun working on a ranch. Super historically inaccurate and unrealistic. This game may low key be even more gay than dragon age 4. I dont think the developers understand the times or physical activity. Everyones character will end up the same. They stole the dog mechanic from fable 2 and some how made the dog dumber and more annoying. The combat constantly blocks you from full stamina attacks if it wants you to talk to the murderer bandits if 1 out of 5 surrender. Fighting is broken and unrealistic. You a knight suck wind after 5 swings of a sword at lvl 11 but a hobo bandit has infinite stamina. Thus switch from bow to sword they can just spam attack you and ypur defenseless. Shop keeper inflation is stupid unrealistic. A shirt in perfect condition never worn and sold to another shop keeper in another town wouldn't lose 98% of its value in 5hr. Apparently using a bow for more than 5 seconds is super hard, p.s its not unless you trained on a recurve like a modern person even then its not this bad. Animals are n64 lvl stupid and dont bleed so tracking is impossible without the dog. Shot a boar in the head point blank, full nurishment and sleep.. it ran away and i had no way to track it since it didnt bleed or scream. The night sky is brighter than some games day time in an era without light pollution. Everyone is white and super pale like they never saw the sun. Even white people get tan and that was a huge part of classism back then. Royals were the only pale people, everyone else had to work or train outside in the sun before sunscreen. The amount of food, water and sleep needed to be healthy is so high in game realistically it would have never been achieved by even the royals. Pretty much awful conversations so far. The intro is bland and too long. The graphics are not amazing but not bad. Morrowind had better water effects tho and in an era where swimming was common by everyone but royals is weird henry cant swim. In the intro after your "just friends" bath together watch how the water moves around you. Cheap $30 hunting games have smoother controls and graphics.
