Jindřich from Skalice and Jan Ptáček from Lipá, the heroes of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and their representatives Tom McKay and Luke Dale, respectively, went to present-day Kutná Hora for souvenirs, but first of all they ended up in a pub. Thus begins a four-part series of videos more closely presenting not only the game as such, but rather the period context or its setting. In order not to offend, at the very beginning we were treated to beautiful views of the city, both digital and real, supplemented by an apt commentary. And throughout the entire video, there was no shortage of brand new shots straight from the game. Welcome to Kutná Hora. And cheers.
The medieval and gaming Kutná Hora is presented in the first episode and the adventures of Tom and Luke as an important city living with trade, crafts and wealth, but also with vices and violence and under the rule of the demon of alcohol. After sitting in a real contemporary pub, the video transports players and viewers to the one in the game called Dira, where things are unusually lively and we get to know the most loyal regular, Hugo. A huge difference compared to today, and especially at 9 in the morning. After that, Tom and Luke set out on a walk through the town, which took them to the stone fountain and further into the center, all with a comparison to the game form, before they start searching for the Vlašské dvor. Along the way, they will meet not only Czechs, but also Germans and Italians, as Kutná Hora attracted people from all over the world. Does it surprise anyone that right after that the guys went looking for a spa? At least we know for sure that the game will once again be full of leisure activities, fun and catchy songs.
The conclusion already belongs to the escape and the introduction of the upcoming episode, which will take place outside the city and will focus on combat, weapons, action and everything related to it. Anyway, feel free to watch it yourself, the video is also available with Czech subtitles.
Uncovering Kutná Hora through Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
Right, gather around, my fellow history buffs and gaming nerds! We’re diving headfirst into the chaotic yet mesmerizing world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, where Jindřich from Skalice and Jan Ptáček from Lipá take a delightful jaunt to present-day Kutná Hora. But before you think it’s all knights and jousting, they first took a detour to—surprise, surprise—local pubs! Because what better way to understand an era than to engage in the most noble of activities? Pub crawling!
A Medieval Mazedive into Souvenirs and Suds
As our brave heroes Tom McKay and Luke Dale waft through the cobbled streets of Kutná Hora, you can already sense the delightful mayhem that awaits us. Now, before any of you pop a monocle in shock, these four-part videos don’t just regale us with the mystical realms of the game. Oh no, they’ve cleverly intertwined historical context, as if serving up a cheeky pint while explaining the finer points of medieval capitalism!
What’s on the menu, you might ask? Beautiful vistas—both real and rendered! Picture this: stunning shots of this UNESCO World Heritage site that are so good you might wonder why you even bother with those dreary office views. The commentary? Just as rich as that frothy mug of ale our lads are downing—oh, and there’s no shortage of fresh gameplay footage either. It’s like a cultural immersion, where history and gaming collide as explosively as a poorly made mead!
Pubs and Peculiarities: The Heartbeat of Kutná Hora
I mean, who could’ve guessed that a medieval city would be a hub for trade, crafts, and—wait for it—total debauchery? As our intrepid adventurers plunk down in the pub, which suspiciously resembles my cousin Gary’s garden shed after a Saturday night, they’re greeted by none other than the gamified version of every pub regular—the inebriated yet lovable Hugo. And let’s be honest, what game doesn’t need a cheeky scoundrel to spice things up?
Then, after a few rounds (or maybe just good natured encouragement), Tom and Luke meander through this historic gem. No need to consult a map here; they’re skating through the charms of a bouncing stone fountain—cue dramatic lighting—as they juxtapose their jaunt with the pixelated pockets of gaming glory. And what’s the big plan? Oh, just to locate the renowned Vlašské dvor, a hotspot that’s sure to make Netflix jealous with its historical richness.
Spas, Shenanigans, and Upcoming Action
But of course, we can’t expect our two gallant fellows to resist the temptation of a spa! Who knows what kind of raucous mischief those leisurely pursuits will get them into? A little health and relaxation never hurt anyone; just ask the medieval inebriates—all part of maintaining that classic gaming balance of leisure activities and alcoholic-induced shenanigans!
And just when you think it’s all smooth sailing through sunny medieval streets—hold your horses! The upcoming episode promises a spectacular shift in gears, promising combat, weaponry, and all the intensity that would do ancient battle strategies proud. It’s like flipping from a cozy pub chat to an all-out brawl at a Renaissance fair—no one leaves without telling the tale, right?

**Tom McKay**: Thanks for having us! The idea was to immerse ourselves in the historical context that inspired *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II*. Kutná Hora is such a rich backdrop, known for its trade and craftsmanship, but also its vices. We thought, what better way to appreciate that than starting our exploration in a local pub?
**Luke Dale**: Absolutely! It sets the tone. You get a sense of medieval society when you see how people engaged over a drink, talking about trade, and perhaps even plotting the day’s adventures. It felt authentic to our characters, Jindřich and Jan.
**Interviewer**: That’s interesting! The blend of real and digital footage in your series must have been quite a task. How did you navigate between both?
**Tom McKay**: We aimed to provide viewers with stunning visuals that showcase both the current beauty of Kutná Hora and the game’s interpretation of it. The real locations serve as a foundation for the in-game world, making it a seamless transition for viewers.
**Luke Dale**: And don’t forget the historical commentary! It adds depth. While there’s plenty of humor, we also wanted to convey the significance of the places we visited and how they would have impacted daily life back then.
**Interviewer**: Speaking of humor, you mentioned meeting a character named Hugo in the pub. Can you tell us more about him?
**Tom McKay**: Ah, Hugo! He represents the quintessential pub regular, always ready with a story and a laugh. He brings that whimsical element to the adventure that keeps things lively. It’s important to have those relatable, colorful characters in the game.

**Interviewer**: It sounds like a lot of fun! What can viewers expect from the next episodes?
**Tom McKay**: The next episodes will shift focus to combat and the action elements of the game. We want to show the intensity of medieval battles, the strategy behind weaponry, and how those elements tie back into our characters’ journey.
**Luke Dale**: Plus, there will be more fun leisure activities. We love showing the balance between the seriousness of medieval life and the lighter moments, like finding a spa or enjoying medieval music.
**Interviewer**: A blend of action and relaxation sounds perfect! why do you think exploring historical settings through gaming is so appealing to players?
**Tom McKay**: Gaming allows a level of immersion that traditional history might not provide. You get to walk through history, make choices, and see the consequences of those decisions firsthand. It’s like stepping into a time machine!
**Luke Dale**: And there’s something magical about connecting with history through storytelling and gameplay. It makes the past feel alive and relevant, which is something I think *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II* captures beautifully.
**Interviewer**: Thank you, Tom and Luke! I am looking forward to your series and the release of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II*. It sounds like a must-watch for both history lovers and gamers alike.
