Sucks as that would be fun.

I found a bunch of bandits and guards fighting in the forest, jumped into the fray and realized that getting blackout drunk unequipped all my weapons so I just ran around in circles drawing aggro while the nice guards saved me, game owns. I couldn't tell if looting the dead guard was going to get me in trouble but they didn't care about me looting bandits. idk Major Isoor posted:So, I know this has probably been asked a heap of times now, but what's the fastest/easiest way to get stealth up to five, so I can get the stealth-kill perk? Since I'm up to 'Nest of Vipers' and although I can get into the camp and wander around gathering intel on the Cumans and Runt's gang (before burning some of their arrows) easily enough, I'd like to be able to pick off some of the sentries around the place, to hopefully make things a bit easier, later on. I know you can run around at night crouched and do nonlethal takedowns on everybody in town, but I don't know if it makes them hate you. You do get points though.

You can grind some archery by shooting cows. They're big targets and don't run away. Cowhides sell well too Not much though. I think that equipping shittiest bow and arrows prolong it a bit, as it does prolong grinding in general Also, Viper's Nest is going to suck no matter what you do. I replayed the mission and took on entire camp solo before triggering attack. Killed about 20 guys there, cleaned it out and then started mission proper. I don't think there was any less enemies. Even archer sentries at bridge respawned. Woohoo fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Feb 18, 2018 |

Thing I have figured out: There are some really neat perk combos out there. For example, unless there's some stacking rule that would prevent it, the "sadist" perk under Warfare gives you +1 strength when you Bleed an enemy, while Serrated Edge under Maintenance gives a +15% chance of bleed from weapons you sharpened yourself, and "bloodletter" under warfare also gives a "Greater" chance of bloodletting. You can raise Maintenance very high by surfing the wave of damaging your sword at the grindstone and repairing it at the grindstone both. Training with Bernard in the fighting ring using practice weapons is the best way to spend your time (repair your gear between sessions). Block works better on Mouse Button #3 or #4 rather than Q Things I have not figured out despite much attempting: How the gently caress am I supposed to do those little dodge rolls bernard does I've discovered a Nest? Where exactly? why is there no way to auto switch between my shield and my torch potential thread titles: "You may not like it, but this is what real 1403 Bohemia looks like"

if it says there's a nest then somewhere in a nearby tree is a nest, and you can shoot it, and it will have two grutschen in it or something similarly unimpressive.

This game is one of the most frustrating I've ever seen when it comes to how people talk about it versus how it actually plays, or at least appears to play. I haven't played it myself yet because I was waiting to make the decision after it had been out for a few days, but the disconnect between what it is and what people say it is ridiculous. For example, most reviewers or comments I've seen say you have to practice and learn how to use your weapons and that's somehow unique to this game. For one, you don't actually do that, what you do is find someone at a certain point to unlock a skill. You don't start with all the combat functions unlocked and have to actual practice, you just have to find the glorified tutorial unlock. And the act of using your skills to earn experience or grow in proficiency is common to the genre for decades, how it works in Kingdom Come is no different than say Skyrim. Yes, the actual combat system is somewhat different but not so much on the progression side. It is also, apparently, notable that you are a nobody in the game. A nobody who the game still revolves around while rapidly becoming a warrior savant and a significant influence on the larger events going on around the game. So apparently it's actually meaningful whether you have a label attached to you at the start of the game even if the lack of a label has no practical meaning versus other games where you do have one. Which isn't unique or difference, it's self-delusion. None of that is a negative but it's very frustrating to constantly see people talk about how it's different or unique and it really doesn't appear to be.

Also when you get to the 3rd area of "clear the bandit camp quests" they start sending you after dudes in complete sets of armor, like closed bascinets, hauberk and brigandines, and pauldrons and chausses who are very good at swordfighting and you can make loads of money but they also gently caress you up if you let them surround you.

I haven't played it myself yet because I was waiting to make the decision after it had been out for a few days, but the disconnect between what it is and what people say it is ridiculous. It just has skill-based "levelling" based on practice. Some skills do have "perks" which you have to unlock -- mostly those are just combat I think -- by doing the little training tutorial in Rattay, but the rest of them are just "practice till you get Rank X, then unlock choice of Rank X perks." Of course other games have used skill-and-practice based systems, but it's a little different from the "norm" for more fantasy themed RPG's -- there's no experience points here. If you want to grind Alchemy you need to grind alchemy for a few hours, or find other ways to get bonus points like books or trainers. Ditto herbalism, maintenance, etc. -- some of the skills like Maintenance have fun little minigames like grinding weapons but mostly it's just "pick a shitload of herbs to raise herbalism" "read a bunch of books to raise Reading" etc. Until you practice a lot there are artificial game constraints that make you lovely. For example, archery is balls annoying because it has artificial arm shake until your skill gets high, and only way to get it high is to hit things, which is hard due to the arm shake . . . nessin posted:It is also, apparently, notable that you are a nobody in the game.

Which isn't unique or difference, it's self-delusion. I think the reviewers are expecting you to be either a prophesied hero or royalty (and they're also only a few hours into the game just like the rest of us). You do start out at the Absolute Bottom in a way that isn't common for these games: you're a peasant, not a special peasant, not a magic peasant, and you're treated like a peasant in a really detailed, granular way: for example, at one point in the early game, you're offered a chance to sleep in an actual *bed*, and a character who'd been entirely nice to you up till then just turns in a second and starts acting mean to you, because he's shocked that a mere peasant is being given such a privilege. There are a lot of other games out there where Hans Capon would be the protagonist and Henry would be a disposable redshirt. Of course none of that stuff is particularly new if you've played elder scrolls games before but I think this game is probably just off-beat enough from "standard" fantasy RPG's that reviewers haven't really figured out how to talk about it intelligently yet.

Had a pretty hilarious bug where I ran into the wandering knight who challenges you to a duel. He's in full plate but I decided "eh gently caress it let's see how I stack up". He starts wailing on me pretty good and I'm barely keeping my shield up- I do a pretty basic counter and hit him on the top of the head with my warhammer and he goes out like a light, first hit. My perk that gives higher KO chance for head hits actually triggered (the text even popped up to let me know that was the cause). So he's laying there all contorted and poo poo but he gets up after about 10 seconds, then goes "well fair is fair, pay up!" and the game docks me my wager money and he starts walking off telling me I fought well. I straight up knifed him in the throat and took all his poo poo with not a shred of guilty conscience. 10/10 this game is hilarious.

I haven't played it myself yet because I was waiting to make the decision after it had been out for a few days, but the disconnect between what it is and what people say it is ridiculous. This is a bit of an oversimplification. You unlock combos through perks, yes, but the meat of the combat is learning to read you opponents and figure out how to *use* those combos. Really the combos are just for breaking guards, they don't do a whole ton of damage, especially the mace ones. Learning to read the flow of combat, figuring out when you can hit and when you have been deflected, and how to pull off consistent perfect blocks is the hard part. it's more like Tekken than Skyrim in that sense. Encounters against decently skilled enemies involves kiting them around and deflecting their blows with perfect blocks so they don't eat up your stamina, and then poking at them to try and make an opening. A lot of times you will get thrown off on the first poke and have to do a succession of perfect blocks to make an opening, which is difficult to learn. I've been spending a lot of time fighting the sergeant and I've seen myself noticeably improve. Not just in in game points, but my own technique. It's actually pretty good once you get it going.

Of course the real way to kill anyone is to just shoot them in the face with an arrow, as in real life. Though if you do this to bosses then in the cutscene Henry will still stab them to death anyway
