In Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, a pair of pallid feet are all I can see of a deceased woman who met a very grisly end. Tasked with examining her corpse to piece together how she met her untimely demise, Henry begins to describe the state of her body as I look over her, and the picture it paints is a very gruesome one. Remarking that her chest has essentially been butchered, chunks of flesh have been cut clean off, and suddenly, I'm thankful the ashen feet are all that's visible to me. My attention is then drawn to a dark ring around her neck that points to strangulation, and it's deduced that whoever killed this poor soul must have had "awfully strong hands".
The condition of the body may not give me much to go on just yet, but this handy clue draws me down a winding path with many unexpected turns as I set out to solve a tantalizingly twisty string of murders in Kuttenberg. This gory investigation sets the scene for The Fifth Commandment side quest, which is easily the best and most engrossing questline I've played in Warhorse's RPG so far.
