Warhorse Studios has long been recognized for its passion for grand narratives and detailed dialogues. For Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the screenwriter exceeded expectations significantly. Indeed, an impressive 1.7 million words were written for this sequel, which is double the script of the original game from 2018, totaling over 800,000 words. To illustrate its magnitude, if one were to transcribe and listen to all the dialogue in the game, it would amount to hundreds of hours of gameplay content. This substantial effort serves as a notable feature for the Czech studio, which showcased the script’s volume through an amusing and impressive printed photograph. However, this still falls short of the record set by Baldur’s Gate 3, featuring its monumental 2 million words, encompassing 2,000 voice-acted characters and nearly 174 hours of cutscenes in total. The game was even recognized in the Guinness World Records for this achievement. For Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, these 1.7 million words equate to reading 17 novels each with 500 pages or a single 8,500-page book – whichever preference suits best.
