Summary

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 are holding off from attending the big wedding.
  • There are a lot of things to do before proceeding with the main quest.
  • Who else is going to make all these horseshoes?

You often face a classic dilemma in open-world role-playing games – whether to focus on the main storyline or explore the surroundings and take on some side missions instead. Choosing the main quest may aid your progress, but taking time for side quests can make that progress smoother. And in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, no matter what you choose, you’ll start as a medieval peasant.

Following a prolonged introduction, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 begins in earnest when you discover that attending a wedding is necessary to gain access to Lord von Bergow. Interestingly, it appears that players have been engaging in various medieval misadventures instead of pursuing the primary goal of the game as initially intended.

Nobody Likes Weddings Anyway

If you’re preoccupied with blacksmithing, lugging sacks, flirting with the miller’s daughter, or searching for your pet in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, rest assured, you’re not the only one. The game is designed to leave you with little, and even a scant two Groschen for manual labor feels like a generous offer.

Many gamers appear to be spending considerable time in the game, engaging in various activities such as side missions, exploration, getting falsely accused and punished for minor offenses, or even meeting untimely deaths at the hands of seemingly insignificant enemies, forcing a restart. The Kingdom Come: Deliverance subreddit is abuzz with posts detailing players’ diversions from the primary objective – attending the wedding to advance the main storyline.

Certain posts have begun alluding to other games as well, such as Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. In the former, it’s the year 40,000 and Henry, like a character, hasn’t made it to the wedding. The latter, Henry’s non-attendance at the wedding is similar to V’s absence when trying to meet Hanako at Embers.

As a devoted fan, let me confess that I’ve found myself engaged in an assortment of unconventional activities instead of attending the wedding. I even managed to snag a maypole for reasons best known to myself, avenged an elderly woman who saved my life, and honed my skills as a blacksmith – if I dare say so, quite proficiently.
