“I thought it was a bug”: an “anti-cheat” found in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 — the game elegantly punishes gamers for trying to cheat

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 continues to reveal itself in the most unexpected ways.

When creating Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the developers paid attention to various small details. Users' attention was caught by a non-obvious feature of the game system.

Some players in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 tried to use the local photo mode for “cheating purposes” — attempting to use the virtual camera to scout enemy movements.

As it turned out, the creators of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 anticipated this moment; @17MrLeon noted: “They make Henry [Jindrich] comment on the picture, which alerts enemies, so you can't use photo mode to cheat your way into an enemy camp. That's brilliant.”

For @AceMyHigh, this was a revelation: “Damn, and I thought it was a bug.”
