Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is getting a serious patch on thirteenth March, builders Warhorse have introduced. It’s going to improve the bracingly mucky RPG with modding instruments and a “trove of updates”, together with what the devs ambiguously consult with as Barber Mode. Going by the promotional picture they’ve knocked collectively, that is only a collection of beards and haircuts for protagonist Henry. However it’s not but thirteenth March, so allow us to dare to dream. Allow us to think about that the replace will let Henry develop into a barber, reducing a swathe by means of the innumerable fringes of fifteenth century Bohemia.
I had not realised until penning this submit how a lot I need to play a sport by which you play a travelling barber, maybe departing every day from my salon to groom the magnates of the realm. A sport by which I, Quiff Sideburn, Texturizer At Regulation, should rigorously organise totally different sizes of scissors in my roll-out velvet barbering equipment. A sport by which my selection of do has a bearing upon worldwide politics. Wherein I mull my very own beard oil from juniper berries and slaughtered moles. Wherein I can recruit three aspect characters and kind a barbershop quartet, then butcher all of them as a result of Quiff Sideburn is secretly Sweeney Todd.
A fast look at Steam reveals that there’s, very tentatively, such a factor because the “barber sim style”. There’s the forthcoming Barber Celebration from Second Wind, for instance, which is Overcooked besides that you simply’re rounding necklines somewhat than plating the pasta. There’s Weird Barber for the VR crowd, by which you’re a hairdresser who’s gotten their Weight loss program Coke blended up with the shampoo and is now hallucinating magic fish on a practice platform. And there is The Midnight Barber, a visible novel by which you hairstyle werewolves, which is designed for ASMR however can also be a couple of political revolution in Barcelona. The barber sim is a richly complicated style. However alas, an underpopulated one. Largely, that search time period turns up video games that includes BBQs, barbarians or ladies referred to as Barbara.
Barbering would match naturally into Deliverance 2. The sport already helps you to follow a variety of medieval trades, from brewing to cooking to tanning and smithing. I am fairly certain Henry’s smithing expertise would translate naturally to giving Hans Capon a Pompadour – although this is able to in fact be anachronistic, as a result of that exact type is from 18th century France. See, I am already an skilled on hair. Do not make me have carried out all this analysis for nothing, Warhorse. Do not let me down on thirteenth March.
