In my opinion, immersing myself in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 feels incomplete without experiencing the role of a tippler, even if it’s just during the cutscenes. This game’s 15th-century setting is saturated with various types of alcohol, from the wine used in potions to the finest vintages at banquets, and even the dubious swill sold in seedy taverns. Often, the writing presents alcohol as a tool for comedic misadventures, much like Paul Bettany’s character in A Knight’s Tale. It seems to glorify the spectacle of downing a large drink, with custom dialogue and voice-overs for the protagonist, Henry, when you stumble and explain your antics to guards. However, at times, it may unintentionally convey something about the culture of drinking and the discomfort of being pressured to imbibe excessively.
