I have a personal affinity for the Bohemian region of Europe, being a quarter Bohemian on my mother’s side. But, like many third and fourth-generation Americans, that’s little more than a footnote in my history. My parents taught me next to nothing about my heritage, other than a few mispronounced curses that stuck with them from their youth. Hence my interest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance back when it showed up on Kickstarter in 2014. Here was a game, insisted the developers at Warhorse Studios, that would help me to get closer to my heritage, a “realistic RPG that will take you to Medieval Europe in a time of great upheaval and strife.”

Unfortunately, after a long weekend with the game, I’m not sure I’ve absorbed much more than would be gained by a trip to the local Renaissance faire or a rerun of an Errol Flynn movie.
