This is supposed to be sarcasm but it's another hit in historical realism. Cops are assholes

I was only a little joking. Guard aggro as described seems more like a poorly-implemented feature, however, power-tripping guards going off with no provocation seems accidentally immersive enough as a medieval life simulator

Guards shaking you down for bribes is super realistic.

loving lol if you think "SJWs" is why Andromeda flopped. Maybe it was just a bad game?

New Colossus is awesome and sold well and got good reviews?
It's a reddit/4chan meme.

Mass Effect actually sold well, it was the DLC forecast from people wising up on it being a bad game that doomed it. New Colossus was actually good but underperformed, with a very slow start on it's sales. VGchartz even has it only selling 300k (highly doubt it).

There's little cool things you notice, like I was travelling through a forest, noticed a broken down cart on the side, found a bandit camp 50/60 yards from the road, killed two bandits and the other one shouted about 'sound the alarm'. Turns out there was another camp further up the hill.

Once you get quiet/silent shoes it does make sneaking up and knifing people a lot easier.

This game is the living proof that leftism isn't conductive to good games. Look at Mass Effect: Andromeda. Look at Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. The games were so poo poo even SJWs dropped them. No one in their right mind defends them. Meanwhile, this game, made for the honest conservative gamer, despite some flaws it has, is selling like hot cakes. We are in the middle of a paradigm shift. This is no longer the industry for spoiled little SJWs. It took three years, but we finally won. I know we're going through a harsh liberal media raid right now pretending this game is bad, but stay strong, they're just desperate because they realize this is their last stand.

lol. that reddit hot take is amusing. yeah dumb uber-wokes are dumb but MEA was a burning shitpile from day one since bioware basically dead and mismanaged. TNC was pretty good but it had a number of issues. none of there fucksups were because of "sjws". but whatever. that reddit post is funny in bad way. That being said. i am glad Warhorse was allowed to do what they wanted, despite my dislike of vara's politics.

uhh. andromda blew rear end so bad that EA gutted bioware and squished into one company to make that destiny clone. there is no dlc coming. its a dead game now. apperently it was dev hell and the piece of poo poo we got was made in like a year and half or something. TNC sold alright and they will definitely work on new dlc and probably the sequel in 2020 or so.

Lower. There's specifically two types of shoes I've found that have bonuses (silent shoes and 'quiet' shoes). I think I found them on some people I killed at one point.

Andromeda sucked but it didn't cause bioware to be gutted, what they closed was the baby bioware full of third stringers that made the game. None of the actual Bioware talent from the main company worked on it.

Unfortunately a bunch of nazis globbed onto this "deus vult" train of pretending you're one of the knights templar and your hatred of other races is some holy thing.

It really sucks because I love medieval history and all of a sudden anything to do with knights gets swarmed by nazis :(

Yeah I just thought recurve bows were pretty common in 1400 Bohemia. The Cumans had been using them for a few hundred years by then iirc

Some internet googling seems to indicate recurves were widespread even in early Roman times and medieval use of straight bows was a factor of climate (recurves were prevalent in dry climates).

gently caress me, I just spent ten minutes in a duel with a bandit leader. Finally started to wear him down (while accidentally aggroing a bunch of loving bandit archers) and I killed his rear end and took his armor and sword. Now it's time to make potions to pay for the repair bill on it.

its really weird that murdering people without witnesses make the guards completely freak out and lowers your rep across towns

something ain't right there

That is my one big thing so far that I dislike. If I kill the last witness that should be it. If I kill some random poacher in the woods talking poo poo on me the town nearby shouldn't know I did it and frankly that dude shouldn't count as an innocent civilian either, since he was threatening to kill me if I didn't clear off from his illegal poaching gains.

I still like it a lot though it is fun.

There’s an unlimited carry mod up on Nexus, if you want to haul all that poached deer meat back to cook and sell for easy money. Free training mod too but that feels more like just straight up cheating.

Poaching is amazingly profitable for how easy and quick it is. Go into woods shoot four hares sell it to unscrupulous tavern owners 500 bucks.

Very beginning of game spoilers, if you care I guess although I recommend reading this one as it isn't plot and might save you some frustration:


I dislike fights you are meant to lose. I just came to this of Dark Souls so I spent a good 30-40 attempts trying to kill Runt and I got REAL good at circling around and poking and evading the one shots before I noticed his health bar just doesn't go down, ever. Just cut scene that poo poo idk.


And I wasted a schnapps to save right before it.

The game broke itself..... That's like 4 hours of progress down the drain.

Captain Bernard is stuck in a corner in Neuhauf even after the Ginger questline. Apparently you can't unlock sword combos or get swords past level 4 without talking to him at the fighting ring outside Rattay after the Ginger Questline where he is supposed to be (but isn't)...

I tried to bait him into chasing me by lockpicking a chest near the corner he's stuck in, but he just chases you down and then just stands in place whereever while you teleport to jail.
