    at the beggining i was a litle bit sckeptic about this game. i gave it a chance, i pass the prologue and the game is awesome. guys, its just in his 1.2.5 version, imagine when the mods became avaiable? the graphics are awesome, they just need to be perfected in next updates. the fighting sistem need some polish and the lockpick needs to be redon, but everithing else is awesome. i hopeat the beggining i was a litle bit sckeptic about this game. i gave it a chance, i pass the prologue and the game is awesome. guys, its just in his 1.2.5 version, imagine when the mods became avaiable? the graphics are awesome, they just need to be perfected in next updates. the fighting sistem need some polish and the lockpick needs to be redon, but everithing else is awesome. i hope Bethesda buys this company and make some new games merging styles. can you imagine an Elders Scrolls with the realism of Kingdom Come? i bet you that this game can became a total new master saga of games like Eldes Scrolls or GTA.
    great story. it needs to improve the fact that when you kill or steal someone without anyone else looking, magicaly everybody knows your crimes. thats really frustrating. i think its a bug in this version    … Expand

    A Rich Game with Poor Performance
    Kingdom Come is an open world RPG but not one that youre used to.
    Here you play as Henry, the blacksmiths boy who has a taste for adventure and combat…
    Youre a noob to both and this game does a great job of making you feel just as such.
    This game is set during mideval times in the holy roman empire.
    Though don’t let the setting fool you, this isn’t some dorky dungeons and dragons skyrim nonsense.
    Just kidding I love skyrim.. but the other bit I wasn’t kidding about
    This game focuses on realism and is a much more compact adventure..
    Think less skyrim and withcer and think more assassins creed meets for honor
    The world is big and beautiful like your mom…
    But this isn’t a world that was built to explore, it was built to look beautiful and feel real, and it does so perfectly…
    The revenge story here takes about 20 hours to complete but the time you put into this games world will determine your experience with this story…
    This game can be whatever you like..
    You can go out, learn combat, plunder villiages for their food and ritches, go after the finest weapons and armors, or you can be noble and play this game with honor, only killing when you have to.. which the game does a great job of pushing you more towards this because of how difficult this game actually is to master… excluding this games final mission I probably only killed maybe 5 or 6 enemies my entire playthrough…
    Youre not thrown into battles or dangerous situations… you have to seek them…
    And seeking them isn’t all too wise, as dying in this game can mean losing hours of progress, especially if youre not sticking to the story
    Sleeping in a bed you own and completing quests is the only time this game autosaves.. the rest is up to you..
    And the drinks that allow you to save any time youd like are rare. Though ive heard world the developers are back petaling on this decision.
    My experience was more of a im a naïve kid doing what I have to to get an important sword back that was taken from me.. and other things…
    getting into trouble planning my escape when no one would let me out of the castle…, getting drunk with a priest and then having to deliver a sermon in his place in the morning
    ringing some bells in the bell towers if you know what im saying,
    Go on a hunting trip with spoiled royalty
    I didn’t choose to go out into the world and become a warrior and this was fine…
    I wasn’t punished for this..
    And playing this way made me not have to worry about this games hunger and energy mehcnaics… id fast travel to an area I know, sleep for a night and get some food from the pot in the morning and continue through the story…
    though this games very final story mission will definitely require you to have decent combat knowledge and gear
    Combat I found very frustrating at the beginning, which makes sense for your character, but slowly I got the hang of it, if attacking in different directions, timing my blacks, mixing up my stabs and slashes, I felt like I was a deadly dancer and I was…
    enemies that used to mean im going to die turned into, you better have a nice reward on you for me to loot for you wasting my time in this forest like you are right now.
    But multiple enemies will always give you trouble, again this is no skyrim.. no magic, no super powerful attacks or weapons.. its pure combat..
    And as far as other gear goes you can pick it off of enemies or save up some cash to buy..
    However you do have to keep your armour nice and clean, take baths everyonce in a while if you want to charm the people of this world. As how you look, smell, and act will effect how people treat you.
    Theres also a leveling system in the background that allows you to build up some perks like being able to carry more items.. but again realism… youll only have the necessitites on you… the rest goes to your horse to sell later…
    This was an overall really great experience however, I dealt with basically a game breaking bug for the majority of the game…
    As there was a character that wouldn’t stop following.. he would knock me out of my sleeping and waiting.. it was annoying and frustrating, I would have to get on my horse wait for him to catch up to me and ride back to a bed for example to get a little sleep to get my health back, or even to talk to npcs… as he would break those interactions as well…
    Easily the most annoying bug in the game, especially considering I dealt with it for 7 of this games 13 main quests…
    But the most heart breaking thing about this game is that its performance on the ps4 during the final mission practically makes it unplayable..
    if you try to get into the mix the game stutters and your character is thrown all over the place and if you don’t have the best gear or weapons, youre really going to need luck to get through to the credits..
    It’s a shame my final tastes with this game were sour    … Expand

    Another type of RPG.

    Before you buy this game, be prepared this is not a RPG you are used to. In the core it is very similar to the games like Withcer or Skyrim. So Im not going to explain that it is open world, that you level up your character, complete side quests in the living worlds, that there are multiple way to compeltequests, etc... you know hot it works. TO keep this "review"    Another type of RPG.

    Before you buy this game, be prepared this is not a RPG you are used to. In the core it is very similar to the games like Withcer or Skyrim. So Im not going to explain that it is open world, that you level up your character, complete side quests in the living worlds, that there are multiple way to compeltequests, etc... you know hot it works. TO keep this "review" short, I will describe why it is different.

    Many people describe this game as realistic. I dont like this description. It is still game, it is far from realistic. It is not a medieval live simulator. So such description can be missleading. But this game is trying to be more believable.

    It starts with the settings. It is describing real historical events in the real place. There are no fireballs, no dragons, no goblins, no wizards. You are not a chosen hero saving whole world from dark lord. You are common guy caught up in the bad situation. Thats it.

    With this more believable settings come more believable quests. You are not asked to clear dungeon filled with dozen bandings and locating epic artifacts. Be prepared to help guards run thir daily bussiness, searching for lost horses, helping with wedding, distributing jobs,... It may sound boring, but it is well written and doing believable tasks really helps with the rolepaying aspect.

    All of this takes place in believable enviromnent. It was build according real world locations (you can visit the area). And there is something really immersive about it. Technically it is not the best game world. If you compare it for example with HOrizon, the Horizon look more beutifull (in eyecandy sense) and technically is more advanced (post processing effects). But it is still procedureally generated and feel just like nice stuff randomly distributed around the place. On the oposide side is the Kingdom Come. Technically it is not perfect. But every object has been placed manually based on real world photos and it shows. Fallen branches, corroded soil, loliage around water,.. it is all placed in the patters you can find in the real world. And when you walk in the KC:D forerst you feel like in the real place. Not the videogame place.

    Also be prepared this game is not as action oriented as other games. Even during war, the coutryside is not filled with bading camps, aggressive animals etc. If you walk around the road, you are basically safe. There are not so many encounters like in Skyrim or Wither. Other reason for this is that you play common guy. So fighting one enemy is fine. Fighting two is difficult. Three and more means death and you should walk around.

    All these aspect may sound boring. But they lead to very immersive atmosphere of the whole game. This is a game you can really role play. This is a game that gives you the "this could really happened" experience instead of epic magic fantasy bs. For these reasons I felt closer to the Henry than to Dovahkiin, Gerald, Shepard or ony other invincible chosen ones.

    All in all this is fun and interesting game. But at the moment plagued with lots of bugs. Including gamebreaking ones (you can easily loose progress because of save corrupting bugs). So my suggstion is to buy this game, but wait a month or two, before they actually finish it.    … Expand

The world building is also really good, with a great level of detail I havent seen in a recent game for a very long time.

This is a true role playing game where you are playing the role of Henry, and you can play him however you want. Your actions/decisions really do dramatically affect how the world, and its people react to you.

    KCD strives for realism, and hits the mark in many ways. Technical issues, and bugs detract from this at times. However in my experience they can be overlooked, and worked around without much difficulty. Hand to hand combat can be a bit janky, and clunky at first, as it should be for any novice swordsman. As you play, leveling up your melee skills you become more proficient not only by player experience but, you unlock combos that once mastered make combat much more fluid, and free flowing. Archery is great from start to end, very realistic no cross hairs, you really have to know your stuff (practice hunting animals before people) to hit things reliably.

    Henry takes some time getting used to with the voice acting, and his mannerisms. I've grown used to him though. He reminds me of a 'good ol boy' of medieval times. He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but, gets a lot of points for effort.

    I feel like the world we get to play in in KCD is probably its best feature. I challenge any game to show me a better, more realistic, forest. The forests in KCD are absolutely 10/10. I find myself hunting game a lot as I enjoy exploring, and being in the wilds. The towns, and other areas are great too, and seem spot on for how you'd envision the era to be.    … Expand

    this game is amazing, there is depth and intricacies, youll be doing quests and theres countless ways to proceed and outcomes to find, some which are build on a timer to add urgency when youre dealing with things like bandits raiding villages or witnesses you need to find who are also being pursued by bad people who want them dead. sometimes a new outcome takes future sight, as in you wontthis game is amazing, there is depth and intricacies, youll be doing quests and theres countless ways to proceed and outcomes to find, some which are build on a timer to add urgency when youre dealing with things like bandits raiding villages or witnesses you need to find who are also being pursued by bad people who want them dead. sometimes a new outcome takes future sight, as in you wont know about it until youve already done the quest so youll need to reload with the new information or remember it for your next playthrough etc.

    the combat is a bit blocky, especially when dealing with multiple enemies. the game works on a lock on system, when you have an enemy in front of you youll lock on automatically and its difficult to change targets. but it is enjoyable once you get the hang of it and it requires a steady patient hand like most things in this game.

    things like alchemy, lockpicking, and even pick pocketing are fleshed out minigames that require not only in game skill levels to make things easier but an understanding of how it works from the player, ie the first time you do anything in this game youll feel that its broken, but the more you practice the more you see that its very well done.

    there are a few bugs in the game atm, but thats to be expected of a new release. the devs are working full time making patches for the various bugs and 2 such patches have already been released making the game soo much more enjoyable and less aggravating, the devs also listen to player feedback and have been implementing new features like a potion that resets your skill points.

    storywise this game is very good, you play as a blacksmiths son, and due to unforeseen circumstances you have to travel the country in search of a sword your father made, all the while participating in a heavy civil war set around nobility pushing back against a lazy ruler and staging a coupe where they put his brother in charge. youll find yourself right in the middle of the action since your motives seem intertwined with this conflict

    there are countless playstyles you can choose from, you could play a plate armored knight, or a lightly geared assassin, you can hunt game, and even learn to read. you can spend your nights building your alcohol resistance and gambling at the tavern with dice, or you can collect herbs and recipes and brew potions, when dealing with encounters you can play it the noble hero way where you help everyone and ask for no reward, or you can be a highwayman who demands gold from everyone. you can murder pretty much everyone if thats your fancy although a few npcs are immortal to prevent disrupting the story.

    you can even build up the economy, when you sell gear to a trader the next time you see them theyll have gained a higher gold surplus by trading your items away, so then you can sell even more to them at a time. you can even participate in archery tournaments

    and theres an in depth survival mechanism, you can starve, pass out from exhaustion, or even bleed to death. you need to eat and sleep, and bandage your wounds. you can get sick from food poisoning or actual poison. etc.

    and this is kind of a niche point but the lead developer is an open anti PC anti SJW who supports gamergate. its good to see someone who is on the players side instead of cow towing to the regressive liberals who dont even play games but demand change in the name of combating "toxic masculinity" lol.    … Expand

A weird glitch caused me suddenly float into the sky while using an alchemist bench, before plummeting to my death. My last save-point was three hours earlier.

    I don't know how my laptop survived being thrown out of the window.

    Combat is next to impossible - single combat can be fun in a challenging way - but as soon as there is a second opponent it's utterly impossible. The game uses an auto-lock-on feature, forcing you to face one attacker at time, making it nearly impossible to keep moving away from the second attacker. If there were some way to disable this "feature" combat would still be very difficult, but at least manageable.

    I really, really want to like this game. I'm crossing fingers and toes that they will release some desperately needed patches and re-work the save system. Until then, I'm afraid this game just isn't worth the price tag.    … Expand

    This is a pretty massive disappointment to me and outside of bugs and save game nonsense the worst part is the combat which is absolutely atrocious, exacerbated by awful key stroke input lag and meatbag enemies. Additionally the world is ridiculously empty and devoid of object interaction. Apparently hamlets in the Middle Ages were composed of 12-24 people max.

A game that should be rewarded only for the fact that it's different and daring, showing to big publishers that there is a market for complex games. Although the low budget is certainly noticeable in certain areas, like animations in dialogues, and it has technical problems, those are fixable with future patches, and should not hinder the final reception of a game solid in its mechanics.… Expand

    There is a loading time for everything you do... want to talk to some one? okay have some loading screen... the guy asks you a simple question? oh okay have another loading time before being able to say a simple Yes/No!

    You just stole something and got caught? okay run away from the guards until you get caught again and answer the exact same question from that guard! and then you can run again, and again and every time they ask the initial question like nothing happened and you didn't run away!

    A lot more issues that takes an hour just to write about.

    These are NOT OKAY for the price they are asking!

    0/10 Seriously because they ask $60 for a Pre-Alpha game without even mentioning it's early access (it's even pre-early access if you ask me)!

    I will never pre-order another game again because of this mistake.    … Expand

    The mechanics in this game are HORRIBLE. I have no idea what they were thinking when they had gameplay testers come on and try the ps4 port of any of these mechanics (especially lockpicking) and say "this is good, it's ready for release".

I have no idea what they were thinking when they had gameplay testers come on and try the ps4 port of any of these mechanics (especially lockpicking) and say "this is good, it's ready for release".

    LIKE HELL IT WAS! You can't even change the sensitivity settings on PS4 for your analog sticks. You can't even remap any of the asinine non-intuitive controls. Why oh WHY is triangle not jump? What were they THINKING??

    Combat is a mess as well. In theory it's cool but in practice all you do is cheese the AI because trying to fight anyone "legit" will just end up with you needing to use 7 expensive bandages to clog your wounds before you bleed out. I'm down with realism but at a certain point there needs to be ways to fight at least SOME of the enemies early game and stand a chance without being cheesy to the AI.

    Every single mechanic in this game is unfun. Lockpicking? Oh here break a million expensive locks trying to pick an "easy" lock. Oh you broke a lock and someone is remotely in the vicinity? GUAAARDS! Hope you spent half your gold to stock up on a few "save your game" potions. Hope those save your game potions didn't make you too drunk to pick the lock. And even if you did all those, since you will break that lock 99% of the time, spend the next two hours of your life having zero fun while you reload your save and it takes 60 seconds each time.

    Oh you like alchemy? Here's the instruction book that you can't read, it gives you ingredients but no actual instructions on what the **** else you need to do to. Now watch as you spend several minutes going through the asinine and overly complicated process they force you to go through just to fail making the potion anyway. Time to google how to do it since the game is crap at explaining it, because constantly having to google things in games is FUN aint it!?

    You'll be doing a lot of googling while playing this game because NOTHING in this game is explained or makes sense. For instance you go out and hunt an animal and take the meat. Oh the meat counts as stolen and you lose respect w/ the trader because you tried to sell the meat you just hunted? THAT SURE MAKES SENSE DOESN'T IT!? Then you google it and find out it's because apparently all land in the game belongs to some noble and they can magically tell which meat you hunted and consider it stolen if you hunted it on their grounds. What great design! Truly a masterpiece of our generation!

    In short the game is just not very fun to play at all. And yes, after a while things become easier, but not because you learn their **** mechanics or anything like that. Nope, it's just because in true poorly designed modern rpg fashion you eventually spend the resources to level your skills up and you get "perks" that make the mechanics function like they should have all along (auto brew potions, lockpicks don't break as easily, etc.)

    This game is 100% frustration and disappointment. The only positive thing I can really say about the game is the setting is unique and they do a good job of trying to make it historically accurate and are minimal on the fantasy elements which is a slight breath of fresh air. But it just blows my mind how bad most the mechanics are in the game. I didn't go over all of them but trust me every single one is not just bad, but god awful and horrible in fact. Archery for example is a complete joke. I would never recommend getting this game unless they patch all of this dumb crap. Especially don't get the ps4 version as it has zero options as far as tweaking your settings (which blows my mind because in the PC version you actually can control sensitivity)    … Expand

    KCD is trying to create brand new mechanics for the RPG and open world fans here.

    Many rpg's nowadays are very easy , combat is hack&slash, you have detailed maps and quest markers so questing is piece of cake.

    I hadn't seen or heard much about Kingdom Come: Deliverance up until about a week before release. Seemed exactly like the type of game I was looking for after drifting between various titles for the past few months and feeling quite mehhh about them all.
    If something doesn't grab my attention whether it be book, film or game within the first half an hour I will put that thing down and    I hadn't seen or heard much about Kingdom Come: Deliverance up until about a week before release. Seemed exactly like the type of game I was looking for after drifting between various titles for the past few months and feeling quite mehhh about them all.
    If something doesn't grab my attention whether it be book, film or game within the first half an hour I will put that thing down and never go back to it without hesitation. Kingdom Come NEARLY fell foul of this. I'll explain why.

    1) Day 1 patch - 23gb - basically everything on the hard copy I'd bought was redundant as it was replaced by an entirely new set of files from a server. Not a good start, BUT I persevered. Having worked in the games industry for over 10 years, I understood Day One patches are par for the course.
    2) Day 3 patch 13gb - Now this one did irk me. I'd still only given over an hour or so to the game and there was suddenly another huge patch.
    3) The opening title sequence where it gives you a brief history of when and where the game is set. To this day, I still don't know what button to press to skip this. I hammer everything. Sometimes it feels like its circle, some days its x, other days its the Start/Options button. This is basic bread and butter stuff for any game, come on guys.
    4) Lockpicking - I've seen people hate this, I've seen people love the difficulty of it. I am well and truly in the hate camp. It just doesn't work on console. At all. Fully appreciate its a new way of approaching lockpicking, but its executed so badly on console that I just don't bother with it. I'd rather suffer the ramifications of beating someone to death to get a door or trunk key than to sit trying to bother with it. I'm really glad they're looking into it and patching it for console as it is needed. It sticks out glaringly from every other trainable skill as being flawed.

    So I'll be honest, I put down Kingdom Come based off the above. I just thought 'clunky' and would be trading it in within the week.

    As chance may have it, I ended up having a days holiday from work last week. At a loose end, I decided to start afresh, give it a solid chunk of my time to give it a fair crack, after all I'd spent £50 on it.

    I played through the Prologue, and then once I was left to my own devices out in the world, this is where the fun started.

    I spent the next 12 hours of gameplay doing side quests or doing my own thing. The game got its hooks in me. I spent time learning skills like hunting long before you come across it as part of your quest line. I love that there's no reticle and you have to simply, be good at using a bow, which makes the pay off during a hunt all the more satisfying, particularly when you head into a town and cash in on the meat and hides you earn (top tip: if you want to earn good money in KCD - become a hunter).

    I've become so immersed in the world, that the main quests seem peripheral to my own goals of levelling up the various skills, improving my status within towns, taking care of bandits out on the road, and of course, hunting.

    As for the quests, I like how you aren't gifted anything. You have to work for it. This where I'd say its more medieval simulator than out and out game. And it works. Why should you be gifted anything?

    You want to beat a guy who is a seasoned swordsman in a duel, then you learn how.
    You want to become a hunter downing stag out in the wild, don't expect herds of them rushing through the vast forests - you be patient and you track them (the bleed out feature on hunting animals is great).
    You want to be scholarly and learn all their is to know - you put the graft in and you learn to read.

    Oh and you want good prices when haggling in towns? Keep your nose clean. Keep your clothes clean whilst you're at it.

    I've barely even begun to touch things such as herbalism, so my hunting yield is offsetting my expense on saviour schnapps, but has also netted me a good sum of money so I can get a better horse, and better saddlebags so I can spend longer out in the wild.

    Yes there's graphical glitching. Yes the draw distance is a little sloppy at times, yes there are still niggling collision and game stopper issues that will hopefully get ironed out, but given the sheer size of the game you can understand why some of these are still to be ironed out.

    It got an 8 from me. I'd have given it a 9 save for the lockpicking which i think hinders a whole other aspect of the game.

    I'm enjoying it that much, I'm hoping once the issues from this one has settled, that there's plans to expand it. Would definitely buy more.

    Those who have given it super negative scores seem to have encountered the issues I initially had and dismissed it off the back of them. Don't. Put the effort in. Its so worth it.    … Expand

    De    Grandísimo juego, cuando llevas varias horas jugadas te das cuenta del magnífico mundo abierto y de las posibilidades que te ofrece el título, de su realismo histórico, y del hecho de que puedes tomar el camino que más te guste.
    Al principio de la aventura eres torpe en todas las habilidades, cuando empiezas a mejorar tu personaje te enganchas más, y acabas alabando esta obra de arte.
    De género rol aventurero, tiene muchas influencias y bebe del Skyrim en muchos aspectos, pero se quita el componente mágico, porque este juego es más realista, sin fantasías, pero hay que reconocer que no es innovador en ese sentido, aunque el trabajo es muy bueno.
    La traducción al castellano solamente en cuanto a textos se refiere, las voces son en inglés, una pena, pero aún así no está nada mal porque aprendes pronunciación inglesa mientras miras los subtítulos en castellano.
    La implementación de las distintas mecánicas del juego y de las habilidades están muy bien llevadas a cabo, al principio del juego te quejarás por la torpeza de tu personaje en las distintas maestrías, pero con un poco de práctica, y cuando subas de niveles las habilidades, empezarás a notar como vas mejorando, y ya no es tan complicado forzar cerraduras, o el manejo de las armas en combate, por poner dos ejemplos.
    El juego peca de no haber salido totalmente pulido antes de su puesta a la venta, pero parece ser que con el parche que pusieron hace unas semanas, se han solucionado gran parte de los bugs y errores que arrastraba. Eso al final no empaña la imagen general del juego, cuando llevas varias horas, en torno a 5 o 6 te das cuenta que merece una nota alta en cuanto a análisis se refiere.
    El concepto de juego realista está muy bien llevado a cabo, y merece la pena echarle el guante.
    Trae un glosario muy amplio sobre los distintos aspectos de la vida medieval en general, y más particularmente en Bohemia, que es donde se desarrolla la historia del juego. Eso puedes comprobarlo en el Códice que te viene incluído.
    El tiempo que llevo jugado apenas he visto errores, al menos en la versión de PS4, solamente algún error menor. Hay un popping acusado pero es compensado por el gran trabajo del producto en general, destacando muchas cualidades positivas, que podrás comprobar por ti mismo.
    Como nota interesante, mencionar que el estudio creador del juego se llama WarHorse, y mediante subvenciones por Kickstarter logró una abultada suma de 1.000.000 para poder sacar el juego a la venta, digamos que el límite estaba fijado en 300.000, y se superó con creces el precio fijado para poder comercializarlo.
    La historia y la narrativa de ésta están muy bien, con muy buenas cinemáticas a lo largo de toda la aventura. Es un juego paciente, que hay que disfrutarlo poco a poco explorando todas las posibilidades que ofrece, y poniendo gran enfásis en que puedes acometer cada misión de maneras diferentes para lograr tu objetivo, mediando las distintas habilidades que mejor se te den o más te gusten.
    Es un mundo muy rico, y un mapa amplio con gran cantidad de misiones, tanto principales como secundarias, y mediante eventos y distintas actividades, que dan mucha variedad y contenido al juego.
    Creo que se me olvidará algo, pero en general se merece un sobresaliente, y si te gusta la historia y el género rol aventuras éste es tu juego, creo que el precio es un poco abultado, pero en serio, merece mucho la pena, y tienes una gran cantidad de horas disponibles, y por supuesto, el juego es rejugable, puesto que como dije anteriormente puedes probar distintas vías para pasar las misiones, y el efecto que ello conlleve en el mundo de juego y tu reputación en los distintos pueblos.
    This review is for spanish people, I respect english, but I think too many reviews are available in English. Many people needs reviews in their matter language for know about this game. I cant understand about negative scores, because this is a wonderful incredible realistic medieval game. A patch solves and fixed numerous bugs including in the first day game. In my opinion this Kingdom Come Deliverance is a jewel on RPG games. Its realistic life and his variety and content is huge.    … Expand

    It’s an admirably ambitious and atmospheric game that sometimes sparkles like a diamond, but the PS4 version I played was so ridiculously underdeveloped I couldn’t believe someone had the nerve to publish it in such a disgraceful state. [04/2018, p.45]

    Despite the volley of issues that'll be unique to your experience, committing to the universe that Warhorse has built in Kingdom Come: Deliverance still carries an ultimately rewarding feeling. I wonder how much more I'd enjoy it if it were a little smoother (fast travel is not fast), but the atmosphere doesn't shy away from the brutality of the era, how rugged life was centuries ago as well as the omnipresence of God in their everyday lives, from conversation to action.
