Warhorse Studios co-founder Daniel Vávra once wrote a scathing article listing over 100 reasons why The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim sucks. Years later, the Bethesda RPG apparently went on to become a massive inspiration for Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Asked about the open-world influences behind the two Kingdom Come: Deliverance games during a recent Reddit AMA, studio content director Ondřej Bittner says "that huge inspiration for Dan" was "Skyrim even though he wrote famous article where he listed 100 reasons that he hates about that game." Bittner's favorite game in the genre is Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, for what it's worth.
