It's funny, I fit that description perfectly and played all the way through KCD1. But when I saw the trailers for KCD2, it looked like it was so fighting and confrontation focused, maybe even more than the first one. The main title art seems to reinforce this: https://www.reddit.com/r/kingdomcome/comments/1etv380/offici...
But I'd love to hear if it's reasonably "cozy" for a lot of the time.
After you get your combat skill levels high the rest of the game is a charming gambol through the woods with no real challenge, even for a slow twitcher like me. The fox potion reduces the grinding by half.
