Another update, another comment.
Triangle was as good as A knight's tale is bad. I would be glad if
Neverluckystudios read this topic and saw what people don't like in his game.
Last time I wrote about underwear and as I see almost every second message in last few pages points at that underwear. So now I say about other things.
Medieval. Needless to say a great share of immersion based on that. And what do we see? MC is a baron, the lowest noble rank, just a man with his castle and a piece of land. His senior is not a king, usually count or duke. As my history teacher in last millenia like to say: a vassal of my vassal is not my vassal. But nevertheless king summons not_his noble, MC, to the capital to confirm his loyalty vows. WTF? OK, let it be really poor kingdom that low on nobility and there's no one in line between baron and king. Let it be. Then MC aquire a squire. A girl squire. And MC's wife is an equal to him. In medieval times. WTF? OK, let it be medieval without christianity but with feminine religion that equals man and woman. Let it be. But why women can serve in mililtary is still a question. At least, it's unhealthy for society. And medieval society was much healthier than any modern society. Then, upon returning home MC asks his wife's maid to share her clothes with squire. Maid, commoner, poor girl (really poor, her salary was almost non existent 'cause she lived in master's home and eat on master's kitchen and wear what master's wife/daughters gives her) has a few dresses, a few complects of nighwear, for fuck's sake, she even have more than one underwear and not undershirt (or how it was called, I don't know exact English word) but real lingerie. Her wardrobe costs something about a half of village.
That was just the most inadequate things I see, that break all immersion and makes you question what are you reading.
Conflict (or drama). In Triangle there was a conflict, mostly inside MC's head but still. He has doubts and fears, he wants to achieve something. In this game we see only vanilla "everything is good". MC already makes love with his wife (totally unsurprising), we know that he will have the opportunity to fuck his squire and his wife's maid, maybe he'll make babies with all of them. No conflict, no drama, no doubts, no obstacles, nada. And it's really boring. It's like watching default porn movie, we know beforehand that there will be sex, only question is where and with whom. I'd even say that game has no story because story has plot, plot can have its twists and we don't know how the story ends. We can suppose but we don't know for sure. There's no such thing in A knight's tale.
The thing I don't understand is why a good dev that already made a great game, Triangle, is making something that bad now. And, to be objective, game is not totally bad. Characters are great, renders are wonderful (close up faces are really something, I love visual part of the game) the only thing missing is story part.
