I am one such nerd, and I can tell you that people of my ilk appreciate Kingdom Come more than most. There's a special breed of nerd who full on studies HEMA (historical European martial arts), cares about accuracy in portrayals of arms and armor, and who subscribes to YouTube history scholars to learn about life and warfare in a distant time. 1 To give him his due, he didn’t try to make it a meme, he was simply highlighting an interesting and unusual technique that he found in a translation of a 15th century source. Now, with the release of several DLCs for the game, it may be time to return to Bohemia for a rollicking good time!īut how best to get in the mood for medieval chicannery?
