I have a little KCD2 conspiracy me and @manatiemtesun talked about: Klara was supposed to be at Suchdol. Most of the evidence is circumstantial, but it is there.
It is a pretty common opinion on Tumblr at least that the Katherine romance is rushed and not very well written, my personal conspiracy, was always that it was added relatively late in development. Like, there was always meant to be a female romance option at Suchdol, just, not Katherine.
She was named after Zizka's wife, this is outright mentioned in the codex in game. She and Zizka share a bed. She reacts negatively to flirting with her practicly the whole game, leaving a sense that multiple scenes are missing when she changes her tune.
So, thinking about it, I think the female romance in Suchdol was maybe meant to have been Klara.
You can sleep with Klara twice.
You get to know her and she is a real character on her own. One of the better developed fling options.
She is introduced as involved with Zizka and is a bit if a spy like Katherine, placed there to lead Henry away from investigating.
Katherine's words about "why men love war" sound weird from the mouth of a women who supposedly wants vengeance and has killed people but sound completely in line with the things we hear Klara say:
"I'd rather not hear what happened next. Storming castles tends to be a bloody business…" or "Like what? Can you even do anything other than wave that stupid piece of steel around?" and treats enemy prisoners and feels passionate about not letting them suffer.
Katherine never acted as a medic, only a spy (except one idle dialog, I think), so her being a medic at Suchdol was pretty strange and jarring to me. But you know who is a medic? Klara.
So my conspiracy as to part of why the Katherine romance is written how it is, is that the female main romance was originally meant to be Klara. But WH realized at some point it wouldn't make sense for Klara to survive Nebakov and gave Katherine her role as a medic and love interest and possibly some of her lines. Which resulted in end game Katherine who is acting as two characters in one and not really feeling like the Katherine who had all the chemistry with Zizka and was all for vengeance earlier in the game (like in the Fifth Commandment).
