Maybe it was when I was pouring poison into a beer barrel in the dead of night to kill some unsuspecting bandits, or perhaps it was when I was pilfering through someone's house and picking locks to pinch valuables, but at some point, I came to the unwelcome realization that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Legacy of Forge DLC is turning me into a no good criminal. I really should have seen this coming. After all, if anything was going to spell my fall from grace after 50 odd hours, it was always going to be in the name of beautifying and upgrading my very own place to call home in Warhorse's medieval open-world.
As soon as I heard about the expansion, I knew it was so incredibly me-coded. With its slice-of-life feel and its focus on blacksmithing – which is one of my favorite pastimes in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – I could hardly wait to pack in my adventurous ways and settle down in my newfound forge in Kuttenburg. I'd planned to live out my days as an honest blacksmith, and my time with the DLC certainly started out that way. But over time, my desire to get lots of groschen started to get the better of me… and before I knew it, I was an honest blacksmith no more.
