Until recently, the only "game over" screens I've seen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 were due to my own shoddy swordsmanship. It's rarely anything exciting – maybe I tried to pull off a flashy Master Strike and instead got a mace to the face,

Deliverance 2 are extremely fun. However, you can't ignore the side quests in an RPG; that is an unsaid rule. Many characters that appear during main quests often offer you some side missions. Some of those side quests are often better than any main quest in the game.
