After she manages to break away from the Cumans trying to violate her, Theresa's ability to persevere through all of the horror and death and manage to not only survive, but even help others, is inspiring. Once the raid occurs, though, Theresa's strength as a person becomes apparent. As someone who used to be insecure myself, I felt myself connecting with this character. It feels like a real community, made up of real people - and Theresa is at center stage, who frequently second-guesses herself in a way that feels genuine. The people here have traits, concerns, desires, and flaws of their own, which makes the Skalitz folk feel unmistakably human. The part of the DLC set before the slaughter serves to show the player how much Theresa cares about her family and friends, and also to give the player a chance to meet some of Skalitz's inhabitants. It follows what Theresa did the day before, of, and after the raid on Skalitz, and how she managed to survive it. The story of the DLC, as you may expect by the title of the expansion (it comes from the phrase "A woman's lot is to suffer" from the critically-acclaimed novel, Pachinko), is quite a depressing one. Kingdom Come: Deliverance players will know Theresa as the woman who Henry can romance during the main story, but getting to actually play as her allows us to understand who she is and what she's like on a deeper level, which is something I really love.
