by

The following contains spoilers for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

As an ardent fan, I’m eagerly anticipating that, much like its predecessor, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” will be graced with a variety of DLC content. This content will enrich the game’s narrative, broaden its world, and deepen our connection with its characters.

Currently, plans for paid DLC packs like “Brushes With Death” and “Legacy of the Forge” are in place for “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2“. However, it’s not just about the paid content. There are also exciting free updates on the horizon, such as a barber feature, horse racing events, and a challenging hardcore mode.

While these updates promise to add a great deal of fun to the game, I can’t help but feel that one of its most compelling characters is being underutilized. I hope that a special DLC story will be developed to fully explore this character’s potential.

In “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2,” no characters captivate like the enigmatic and intriguing figure of Katherine. During the game’s initial act, she remains somewhat shrouded in mystery, with hints of her personal narrative unfolding off-screen and minimal evidence provided about her role until she eventually aligns herself with Henry. With “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” having previously given Theresa a dedicated DLC, allowing players to delve into her unique journey, Katherine’s storyline suggests an even greater opportunity for a DLC centered around her own adventures.

Katherine Is Pretty Busy During Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s First Act

In the narrative of “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2”, Katherine makes an early appearance and quickly captures players’ attention as one of the game’s most enigmatic characters. This is largely due to her persistent efforts to avoid the protagonist, Henry, without providing clear reasons for her behavior. Initially working as a cook at Trosky Castle, it later transpires that Katherine has been covertly allied with Jan Zizka’s bandit group throughout the story, secretly backing King Wenceslas against Sigismund’s forces.

In the climactic event of ‘Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’, Katherine’s secret partnership with Zizka becomes clear as she aids him, Henry, and Hans Capon in their daring escape from Trosky Castle following a harsh interrogation by Istvan Toth. Her extensive familiarity with the castle’s design and her undercover collaboration with Zizka play crucial roles in orchestrating this successful rescue. She shares vital information with the group and guides them to secret passages within the castle, demonstrating both her resourcefulness and making her an even more captivating character than previously perceived.

Katherine Would Offer Some Compelling Gameplay That Even Theresa Couldn’t Rival

In the downloadable content (DLC) of Kingdom Come: Deliverance named “A Woman’s Lot,” players could explore the game’s early events from Theresa’s point of view instead of Henry’s, providing a unique perspective. This DLC also gave players the chance to influence the relationship between Henry and Theresa in Kingdom Come: Deliverance, decisions that would impact their connection within the main game. Playing as Theresa offered a captivating way to delve into the opening chapter of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and a similar DLC featuring Katherine in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 could potentially offer even richer experiences.

Initially working as a cook at Trosky Castle, Katherine was actually allied with Jan Zizka’s bandit group in secret, backing King Wenceslas against Sigismund’s troops all along.

1. Initially, all that Katherine did in the first act of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was kept secret until her true nature was unveiled. Witnessing these events directly would provide additional insight into her story.

2. Unlike Theresa, Katherine demonstrates a fighting spirit, adopting a cunning, stealthy approach that keeps her hidden and allows her to attack enemies from the shadows. If there is a DLC focusing on Katherine in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it might focus heavily on the game’s stealth mechanics, extending even to the point where Katherine sneaks into Trosky Castle to rescue Henry, Hans, and Zizka.

A downloadable content (DLC) focusing on the character Katherine, with many mysteries surrounding her actions prior to her dramatic intervention, would not only deepen the narrative of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but also offer a new gaming experience that leverages its top-notch stealth features. Unlike Theresa’s story, which centered around survival and personal grief, Katherine’s is about cunning deception, strategic planning, and quiet resistance – elements that could make for an engaging expansion.
