Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 does not carry over your original KCD1 save file, and this is seemingly intentional.

The original Kingdom Come Deliverance followed the story of Henry of Skalitz as he embarked on a journey of revenge after his family was slain by the Cuman Army. Through the course of the game, we see Henry mature from a hot-headed young blacksmith to a mature adult. The story has three acts and follows a traditional Hero’s Journey narrative. Your choices in the game largely shape Henry’s development.
Now, with the second game close to release, many fans are wondering if these choices will bear any weight in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and if their KCD1 save file will carry over and affect the narrative of the second game. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. The KCD1 save files will not be carried over to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, even though the sequel’s story picks up shortly after the original’s ending.
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Does Not Carry Over Save Files

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 will not be carrying over any save data from the original game. This means your choices made through the course of the first game will not have any effect on the second game. KCD 2 is a new story, marking a new chapter in Henry’s life, one that is unaffected by his traumatic past.
As for why the developers chose not to import files, we do not know. It is possible that the developers wanted Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to be an experience that reels in new players unfamiliar with the series. Putting in the option to import files and data from the first game may have alienated those players. This speculation seems to hold weight since Henry will be starting all over again in terms of skills. You will have to unlock all the skills you had already unlocked in the first game, including combat and stealth.
The developers seemingly want to create an even playing field for new and returning players. That said, we still recommend picking up the first game. KCD1 is inexpensive and often goes on sale. It will provide some much-needed context for the events of the second game.
