Stealing, stabbing, choking: a first look at stealth in Kingdom Come Deliverance

[Administrator]

The Gamescom presentation for medieval no-fantasy role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance has made its way online. It's inching ever closer to being a full package, even though, up until relatively recently, the game was due for release around now (Kingdom Come: Deliverance was delayed to 2017 in May).
Things to look out for in the presentation include stealth, which we haven't seen before. It's not clear exactly how it works, but there don't appear to be any UI indications to show that you're hidden (and the game sound is turned off in favour of music). Maybe there's not that much to it. Nevertheless, from hidden you can steal, stab and choke people unconscious, which is nice.
The presentation also shows combat with polearm weapons, which can reach up and push people off of horses, as well as of course clobber them on foot.
