Bathhouses.

I like how I told the Müller that stealing is totally wrong and I would never do it, only to learn pickpocketing immediately after.

I felt like this actually caused a bit of moral dilemma. I’m playing my Henry pretty straight up, but I owed the Miller for saving my rear end so I agreed to doing some less savory poo poo.

It’s hard on the mean streets of Bohemia, man.

I'm kind of playing Henry like Garret from Thief. Trying to be decent as much as he can, but not afraid to resort to violence, and helping himself to the belongings of people who might not deserve to be robbed because a man's gotta eat.

It fits better with my image of Henry as basically a common thug with a jumped up sense of importance rather than this miraculous holy knight Batman.

All I know is I got a +2 vitality permanent buff in the very first town and it showed up right after fistfighting the drunk guy who won't pay your dad. The fight where he attacks you after you fail the speech check.

It's visible under buffs, as "resistance."

Can't figure out how to get the alleged lockpicks from fritz though.

Someone said it was the one who owes your dad money, but I didn't get poo poo from beating him. You do get a +2 vitality perk from picking enough thorny plants like nettles, though.

I think it was before the poop flinging happened. I had checked out the drunkard's house earlier, had an optional sidequest to get lockpicks for the drunkard's chest and spoke to Fritz and he gave them to me. I might be hazy on details but that is what I remember at least.

Yeah - I broke into his house and found a locked test. Then Henry went "Oh, I need some lockpicks, I bet Fritz has some!" and I got a quest objective to find and talk to him. He gave me 4.

A bigger question in my mind Is If you can beat/hold off Runt in Skalitz

Considering what happens pretty much sets up the core plot for the next act of the game, I'd say no. Or if you can, then a cut-scene will pretend you didn't.
Personal experience, Baldy just ignored my poke to the eyes and one-shotted me from full health.

I'm 15 hours in now and about post-prologue Henry I have one important observation to make. You goddamn (spoilerish criticism follows) arrogant, hotheaded, reckless, loose-tongued IDIOT! Eat the humble-pie and stop antagonizing little future Wencelas! You were born in a strict class-based society so act like it!
I'm not joking here. Pa may be the biggest and most famous badass in Prague. But he did a drat poor job raising Henry. Everything that's happened to him post-prologue so far is squarely Henry's fault.

Also, Captain Bernard jailed me for hurting people. When the only thing getting hurt was my face in the training square. I have no idea what the hell happened there, but fortunately I'd taken a save/nap just before my training so I reloaded and pretended it never happened.

The cut-scenes I've noticed treat your gear as a suggestion. Henry will wear the armour you've equipped, but his helmet tends to vanish and his weapon will default to a longsword-looking thing.

Lockpicking mod added to OP. I will add only selected quality of life mods as they are introduced in the thread. Maybe if the number of mods grows to all hell, we will need a separate thread for those later?

Let's hope any patches in the future won't break all mods...

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned of this...

Good to hear they are working on the lock picking mechanic though. I want the challenge, but what they have now is just poorly thought out/too big a learning curve.

Well, I caved and installed the save anywhere mod after losing 45 minutes of play after a random rear end pickpocket detection. Honestly, I'm amazed they went for this save system with the way pickpocketing is almost entirely luck based it seems. The game did become even more enjoyable being able to save more often! Having a great time with it. If they optimize performance a bit and uncrapify certain mechanics it'll be a truly great game.

Edit: now that I have like 5 or 6 levels in lockpicking I can consistently open hard locks without too much trouble. It was indeed really rough at the start, and I can't say anything about controllers, but it's absolutely fine with the mouse at this point.

I find it to be fine. Enjoy it? I mean, no, no more than I enjoy it in any game. I'm baffled by how difficult some people find it, though.

Is it a mouse/keyboard issue (I'm on PS4) that's the problem? Or is it that people just can't figure it out?

Pickpocketing, now, THAT'S a huge problem, since detection seems to be entirely random at the "charge" phase. Sometimes I can get to 10-11 seconds on a guard standing on the corner, sometimes I get detected by sleeping people after 2 seconds of "charge" time.

Edit: vvvvvvv No, it's very easy with a controller vvvvvvvvv

This is exactly how I feel about it, which is just hilarious in combination with the out of the box save system (by hilarious I mean painful)

I consider the pickpocket experience to be far worse than the lockpick game. At least the lockpick game isn't arbitrary and entirely luck based.
