Bergau the betrayer.💀 The winged creature(fish) symbol is theirs as mentioned by @afiiik1. The KCD codex also states he was punished after Wenceslas came back to power.
In a very recent Czech interview, Viktor Bocan (the Lead Technical Designer) said that they had created two combat systems depending on the weapons, similar to what was said in the IGN interview. It was implied that the longsword had a much greater complexity compared to axes and maces. They had also mentioned elsewhere where they really said they wanted to reward more aggressive combat rather than waiting for master strikes. Also, notice in the trailer how the attacks with swords, which look like combo finishers and master strikes, are not in response to an attack and are not preceded by attacks. So it seems like they are neither traditional parries or combos like in KCD1. Good catch on the Jan Zizka thing, I hadn't seen anyone make that connection before. Lastly, when you look up Hans (Jan Ptáček of Pirkstein), the coat of arms (on wikipedia) is very similar to the one in the game so maybe there's some nuance in the heraldry here.
Thanks for the info about the developer interviews and other points,Tristan. It seems like they overhauled the entire combat system than made some changes at this point.
the heraldry is a white bird on a red field - its the Berkov sigil, he is the guy residing at Trosky where you are suppossed to deliver the letter Also the heraldry on the shield (that you said is Rattay) is actually the sigil of the lords of Leipa (páni z Lipé in czech).
The emblems do not match because the ones you found are the modern day, redesigned variants. Also the town's ownership might have changed over the centuries so even if the modern design is consistent with the historical one, it might be that of a different noble family or related to something else. Also, in a Czech interview, the developers have said that the combat system will only use 4 directions instead of 5 and that it was redesigned to reward aggressive play, likely meaning that master strikes have been adjusted. Sounds very optimistic to me! The devs also said that overall, the sequel was designed with a focus on better accessibility, making the game's systems and mechanics easier to get into BUT without removing the depth and complexity. It should still be challenging and rewarding. (And bows will continue to have no reticle) After hearing that, I am confident that they understood the shortcomings of the first game and made an effort to improve it.
I just noticed that the coat of arms with the three towers and a gate, that you found matches for, matched two towns in Moravia. Could it possibly belong to Margrave Jobst? There was talk of a betrayal and he is known for not being trustworthy and switching allegiance, as Radzig and co. told us at the end of KCD1.
Margrave Jobst is a historical character. He is a cousin of king Wenceslaus IV. First he sided with king Sigismund but later switched back to support his cousin Wenceslaus. If I remember correctly, he helped rescue king Wenceslaus from imprisonment. In 1403-1404 Wenceslaus travelled first to Kuttenberg and then to Prague. This fits into the timeline of the game. So we might meet king Wenceslaus IV. Also, in the trailer we can hear (presumably) Istvan Toth say: "Congrulations sir knight! You have finally become a man!" Could this be a hint that Henry gets legitimized as a noble and a knight? King Wencelaus IV would be the one who could do such a thing.
I feel like the coath of arms with the three towers could very well belong to the city of Prague, which would make sence. And the bit with Žižka could also be true, because i remember Vávra posting a picture with historian Petr Čornej like a year and a half ago, and he wrote a book about Žižka´s life, that is considered to be probably the most accurate one.
We will probably go to Kuttenberg a few days or weeks after the Trosky castle section in the main story and then after that we will go back and forth between the two areas
There are about 4 podcasts with the developers in czech, so you can't understand it. But they told that the combat system is going through changes. All the different weapon types have their ownn motion capture movements (even polearms) Viktor Bocan also said that the master strikes are gone and will be replaced by something much more fun. If you have any other questions I'm all ears.
Do you remember the scene at the pond where Henry is worried about the depth of the water? And Hans just says: "Come on." (This implements that Hans is not afraid of deep water). I believe that Hans can swim and that Henry also learns how to swim in this scene. This makes the game "faster" because you don't have to spend minutes looking for a bridge or a shallow spot.
reality is that swimming was not that common skill in medieval era. especially in landlocked countries..... i dont know about you, but i would not let my children try to learn how to swim in a flowing river.
I'm like, "How tf does this vid not have over at least 1K views esp with that title". Look down and see it came out 17 mins ago. Heh Thanks, it's appreciated!
Huh. I've already seen the bloody trailer several dozen times and still I'm finding new stuff - got another scene or two located just from watching this vid. Actually, after looking closely into the castle shots to better identify them, I'm starting to se a non-zero chance that the time skip will actually happen not during the move from Trosky to Kuttenberg, but rather later in the game., as there seem to be some shots of a same location, but slightly different... could be just an angle or different part of the same place though. Nice vid by the way, the Žižka guess is very interesting.
Something was wrong with "Master Strike" either in the description or the usage. A master strike wasn't the counter/ripost, it took like 7 different swings and was extremely difficult to pull off but really drained the hell out of the opponent. After my 2nd playthrough I think I only tried them in the early tourney fights. Any normal opponent would either die almost immediately after the 4th strike, or so, or I'd just get exhausted trying to pull it off.

Q u have been hearing a lot of ytbers that are saying that there will be 4 arrows in the cobassitem insed of 5 can you conform that ?( I hope not )
Henry getting captured, beaten up and rescued by the love of his life.
First Theresa and now Hans
On gang, Hans and Henry should make out.

The torture scene chould have been a flash back because that guy beat him up last time
And there are the same vines and a torch
Great job spotting Zizka in the reveal. Completely missed it myself, but I'm convinced it's him since they gave him the scar as well.

I don't know if it's any use to anybody but the pond from the trailer is Vežický rybník AKA Věžák located 3.1 km away from Trosky.
That's so cool! This game is going to be amazing!!
There is some good information here. When you were talking about the guy with the mustache I immediately said " Jan Siska!"
I really hope it's him.🤞
The guy in the white corazzina is Erik btw.

The winged fish symbol belongs to the Lords of Bergau (páni z Bergova) - the new owners of Trosky castle
Thank you for clearing that up,afiiik1.👍
I think it is him but it looks like the guy Henry duels but also gives Sir Capon a drink and is fighting alongside Henry
Currently replying KCD 1. Can't wait for the second one
😎👍
Jan Zizka being in the game is a big deal.
It is! Man,I sure hope it's him.🤞

These talks have like 40 minutes each so there is a lot which you foreigners don't know. 😅😂
Devs told they changed the facial of Erik. One of the bandit leaders at Vranik (Ištvan's lover) so the guy in white brigandine might be him.
@@spokeshave5415 Guy in white is him, yes, they scanned his actor's, Jim High's face for KCD2, instead of random generic face he had in KCD1.

Maybe. I always thought it was a reference to Henry's banter everytime he tries to swim in KCD1.

i dont know about you, but i would not let my children try to learn how to swim in a flowing river.

Hi,Donni. Thanks for watching!
Huh. I've already seen the bloody trailer several dozen times and still I'm finding new stuff - got another scene or two located just from watching this vid.

If there's a time jump,your explanation for it is logical. Thanks for watching,pipboy.👍
He can be Jan Žižka or Jan Sokol z Lamberka.
I'm pretty sure the guy with the off-white armor is Toth's lover Erik, and the beating may be a flashback to Vranik.
That's Erik? He looks different.🤔
@@ThatOtherGamer so does Henry
Newly, the fight should not start from a five-pointed star, but from a four-pointed one. This should make it easier. There should be more combos.
The General is wearing the same outfit as the guy from 3:24 that Henry seems to be fighting
That guy can be Jan Žižka or maybe better Jan Sokol z Lamberka.
when you think it will relese the game ??? October ??
No idea. I think it's at risk of being delayed,that's why it doesn't have a release date yet.
