10 Seemingly Pointless Video Game Choices That Have Surprising Consequences
1. Sticking With Pebbles Will Turn Her Into Your Best Horse - Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The right steed can mean everything in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, especially if it's being able to escape bandits bent on sending you straight to the place the game is named after.
Kingdom Come's sequel starts you off with Henry's old horse, Pebbles, which possesses the worst stats out of all the possible mounts. You get the option to trade her for a better horse relatively early in the story, and while most people would immediately go for it, there is actually a hidden reward waiting for those who stay loyal to their original steed.
Despite the fact that she has the worst stats, if you stick with her and continue riding on her for at least 35 km, Pebbles will unlock a unique trait called "good ol' Pebbles," which will significantly boost her stats and turn her into the fastest and toughest horse in the game.
Best of all, you don't have to spend anything on making her tap into her hidden potential, which just goes to show not even the largest piles of gold can match the power of friendship between a rider and his trusty horse.
