The Lone Badger posted:Is this game better suited to KB/M or controller? I use controller apart from when lockpicking. Transition is seamless, so it's no bother. Also, how can I level up my repair skills? Keep razzing all my cash on repair. I have a real high rep at R-town. The armourer says "NICE TO SEE YOU, HEINRICH" every time I show up then cusses me for "what I did" every time I ask for training. Also, is it possible to do bandit killing quests by poisoning their food? Also tips on good stealth kit gratefully appreciated Where is the best place to get sneaky items?

I'm so bad at leveling my maintenance. I always forget to sharpen the lovely swords I get from bandits before selling them, and I only ever notice my armor condition when it's already too damaged to fix with my barely existent skills. Speaking of barely existent skills, the drunk priest buddy quest was great for me because I had like 1 level in Drinking starting out and left the quest at level 5. Must've been quite a night.

I went by Captain Bernard randomly because I wanted to do some sparring. Turns out it's real good for actually levelling your skills! He'll also teach you how to riposte which seems pretty useful but I can never make it go off in actual combat, is there a trick to it? In the training ring I just have to hit defend once and I bash him in the face, in combat I just pull off a block. Combo's also look super fun, the only problem I have with it is that all non-sword weapons need level 7 before you get the first skillpoint. Edit: Alchemy is only fun the first few times but at least I'm getting 3 potions a pop because I know how to read recipes. Marigolds are nice to have in the wild.

And someone else mentioned: quote:Make sure you're looting bladed weapons off your victims and repairing them at a grindstone for free maintenance XP. They also tend to sell pretty well so are generally worth picking up anyway.

The game's combat system breaks if you're not locked on because the enemy AI doesn't know what the gently caress to do. It is, however, hard as gently caress to be in combat and not be locked onto some enemy, you basically have to swing to the side of them and then cross over onto their body.

So, there's an achievement called Bastard. It says that you find out who your real father is. I'm going to presume you're an undisclosed son of the kidnapped king, hence your later importance. Or possibly a relation of Radzig. . It is a bit cliché perhaps, but it would make some sort of sense that you were kept in some place that's quite unimportant.

So first experience with this game: 2 minutes in I'm fistfighting a fat guy to make him pay for dad's tools and some dumb peasant lady decides to walk between us and eat a punch from me, landing me in jail and an instant game over.

How do you add more recipes to your herb book? Also, its possible to make poisons too right, since theres a perk that says poisons last longer on your weapon?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Has anyone dug up the preorder bonus stuff yet? Worthwhile? Listen, there is a point in this game where you will start killing things in two hits through full armor, and all the dlc caches are full of cheaty bullshit. Don't do it! The most fun of this game is when you are a 99 lb. weakling getting sand kicked in your face (or do it) e: i mean this unironically, it just reads like the opposite. reference easter egg spoiler: You guys probably know Roach is in the game, but there's also a bit of dialogue that says he came from some weird polish bloke, it was pretty cool. Did you also know Epona is in the game? The description mentions the horse will only respond to flute. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Feb 17, 2018 |

i hope there's more to the theresa romance than when you (first?) have sex. she's so mixed up with henry's origins and how he got on the hunt for runt that it would be disappointing for that to be the end. she doesn't even acknowledge it when you talk to her. maybe henry is hung like an ant and this is the awkwardness that comes from her now wanting nothing to do with him because of how embarrassing it is.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the ending to In God's Hands is really disappointing. Did I do something wrong? I was chastised for being gone for a day so I could talk to Father Simon, and instead Johanka is apparently sweet on the dude who's been holding back supplies. That I bribed him for. What the gently caress.

Nah you can actually drop from the drawbridge. Has dialogue for it and everything. I'm talking about after the escape. Kept running into invisible walls and waist high bushes everywhere trying to skirt around the town.

You know, I think lockpicking is actually pretty easy now that I understand it, it's just either insanely poorly explained or I just completely misunderstood the UI at first or something. Once it 'clicks' it's really easy, and then once you get to even just level 3 in it it becomes entirely trivial.

both pickpocketing and lock picking go from hard to trivial over half an hour. kinda unfortunate

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to level maintenance is to sharpen every bandit sword you pick up. Other than that, just keep topping off your armor with kits, it's cheaper in the long run Cleared out the first two towns worth of bandit hunt quests and I'm rich as hell now. All that Cuman armor selling has me up to 8k, even after I upgraded my horse.

I cannot for the life of me win against anyone better at swording than a bandit. Even if I perfect counter I feel like I can't get a hit in and opponents will just murder me with their parries/dodge counterattack shtick.

Aaargh! What do you do about enemies just grabbing you and throwing you if you get too close to them? It feels very unbalanced, is there nothing I can do to throw them? Also how do you actually kick? It's "F" right? I haven't landed a single kick on an enemy, they just grab me and throw me away. I like the game but it's very frustrating. Also, do you actually gain some advantage and if so how do you use it when perfectly blocking a strike with "Q" at the moment the shield turns green?

The trick seems to be to take your time, watch the enemy then mash block as soon as you see them attacking to get a riposte, followed by pressing in and stabbing them in the face. Get in a few hits as they stagger but pull back as soon as your stamina is getting low. Also train, spend enough time sparring to get your physical stats and weapon skills to five or so, it makes a huge difference as does armour.

I think its down to two things: Either you just got into a fight and lost some health, or all your clothes are dirty. The latter is very probable. Edit: Well, this is a problem. The little expanding circle you use to find the sweet spot in lockpicking is just gone. Edit 2: Had to restart the game, but that solved the issue. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Feb 17, 2018 |

I hope at some point you get the opportunity to start using polearms instead of just dinky little swords and axes. Halberds and the like are just plain cooler than boring ol swords and also enemies with them seem to be absolute monsters.
