junan_paalla posted:I saw some streamers die to that part over and over like a day after launch. If you mainline the main quest to that point without spending any time training, gearing up and getting used to the combat in between quests and skip the optional objectives to weaken the encounter, you're going to do about as well as a noodly-armed 19-year-old kid rushing into the situation would. I spent an hour watching a guy slap on the heaviest armor he can find and equip a weapon he can't swing properly, waddle in overburdened and start flailing at the NPCs and fail the quest over and over. Then proceed to die to the boss over and over until they land a clutch headshot, because they can't beat the boss in combat. And like half an hour later end up having to redo it because the game didn't save after the cutscene. A 19 year old that's been training to be a blacksmith since he turned 12 or whatever should not be noodly armed. Guy should be pretty drat muscular, especially in the upper body.

Scherloch posted:I don't know if you ever got a response to this, but: do the traps one by one. Save before dropping, drop, run away and come back after a minute or so to pick it up. When you get to the last one, save before picking it up and then don't save, sleep, fast-travel or wait, just pick it up and ride straight back to the huntsman and turn it in. I kept running into the same issue, and some people on the internet told me that the game freaks if you do any of the things mentioned after picking up the last trap but before turning it in. I saved, picked up the last trap and galloped straight back to town and managed to get through the dialogue with the guy and complete the quest. The infuriating part is, after a while I found similar internet posts so I tried just that, and after finally getting it just right (because the cages have a tendency for me to disappear half the time regardless of situation), I rode my horse all the way to that son of a bitch to get soft locked in a conversation that never started. As far as I am concerned if the reward for the quest isn't Bianka herself it's not worth the time I've put into it. Knobb Manwich posted:

Presumably by the time you get Agility up to 7 you'll probably have found a better weapon or enough money to buy one anyway

 I forgot to comment on this earlier, but hot drat! That is loving amazing! I heard they used satellite imagery to build the terrain, and I have to say this feels more like a ~real place~ than any other game I've played. The landscape of Witcher 3 is beautiful and stark, but the landscape in KC:D puts the former Gold Standard almost to shame. It was mentioned in one of the reviews of the game, but their attention to detail and the many nods to realism have made the gritty reality of 1403 Bohemia feel more fantastical than any fantasy game. Charlz Guybon posted:They sold 500,000 copies in the first two days, so a sequel seems assured. Yeah, the city was walled in, so it creates a tight playzone for a DLC, and Prague Castle itself was abandoned during the Hussite Rebellions (spoiler alert for anyone who goes drinking with the priest in Uzhitz: they can totally burn a university professor at the stake), so there is certainly an interesting story to tell there. Pretty sure the Pope even declared a Crusade against the locals, so there's all sorts of fun to be had! Also,  at the last few pages:Knobb Manwich posted:If you're seriously saying "game mustn't be buggy because I personally haven't experienced a bug" you should probably stop. Maybe offer a prayer of thanks or buy a lottery ticket. My favourite trivial bug so far was stealth killing a sleeping guy, getting discovered and having to running away and fight the pursuers for a few minutes. Then I came back, went to loot the dead guy and found another dude sleeping on the body. SnoochtotheNooch posted:Idk what you want to hear but I haven’t had any bugs/graphical glitches. I even went toward a bush and started hump jumping into it trying to get stuck. I’ve been murdering randoms and seeing if I get weird Criminal tags but nope. The only thing I’ve noticed which may have been related to a bug is getting horrible rep in Rattay after killing some wayfarers out in the woods where there was nobody else around. But I was also robbing the gently caress out of everything at the start. And I accidentally tried to pickpocket the sword merchant right to his face and got chased out of town, I was like over an hour from my last save so I just waited around for them to forget. MiddleOne posted:You're an idiot. It is completely possible both for you to have a bug-free experience and for others to not have one. SnoochtotheNooch posted:I was just teasing that autist that got mad about me saying the bugs aren’t that bad. Also, those are minimal requirements dummy. As in “here’s what you have to have in order to have the bottom of the barrel experience playing this game.” Look at the recommended hw. VanillaGorilla posted:Hi, I have a plenty modern processor and a 1070 and I've still run into plenty of bugs that have nothing to do with performance. For example, I purchased permanent access to an inn room outside of Rattay and now the door to the room simply doesn't function anymore. Similarly, I've run into situations where the NPC scripting just starts to break down - for example, if I attempted to non-lethally solve the "witches" quest in Uzhitz, the encounter scripting would just break and you'd get stuck. I made this for the E:D thread but I guess we should have it here, too.  Charlz Guybon posted:A 19 year old that's been training to be a blacksmith since he turned 12 or whatever should not be noodly armed. Guy should be pretty drat muscular, especially in the upper body. Hieronymous Alloy posted:My Henry has been slacking off in the tavern that whole time I think in both cases he would looks more like this, which is, at the very least, noodly armed (singular):  The Lone Badger posted:Is sparring/training locked out until I finish the Ginger quest? Pretty sure you can do it any time after the first session with Bernard, you just have to ask. Be warned: he will teleport you back to Rattay to do this.

Henry's mom has to wake him up at the crack of noon or some poo poo, he clearly doesn't give a poo poo about learning how to blacksmith and his dad knows better than to let his idiot son do anything but whittle the hilts of swords. He's noodly-armed for a reason.

Quick googlefu led to a wiki page about a quest that appears to be data mined indicating so.

So I'm riding along the road and just as it's getting dark I end up passing a camp. I figure I'll stop for the night and pull over. In the camp there is a chest so I check it out. Turns out it's loaded!  ... so I guess I'm pretty set now... Also it says "steal" but none of it is actually marked stolen after I took it.

If you do keep reporting back to him he’ll send a guard with you to the dying bandt and his friend in the woods. And if you find the two guys hunting ginger, run away and and report back, you can ask him for a hand and he’ll teleport you, himself and three Rattray Guards to their camp and shred them himself.

I'm trying to do the archery competition to win the keg of wine for the wedding, but my game seems to freeze up on the loading screen when the archery master starts the competition (the little loading icon just spin and spins) every time. Has anybody else encountered the same problem? This is the only time it's happened so far in my game.

My main complaint re performance is dropping below 60-55fps so I'm playing on High with v high textures and models atm. Looks fine thoug ill try some of those ram useage tricks people are suggesting. Othwr compliant is that geeting into conversation isnt very fluid. Always get that 3 second fade to black before the talking starts. It's nitpicky but I would like it to be more like TES where it seamlessly pops up the convo menu.

So far my biggest disappointment with this game is that after learning to read and becoming charismatic for being so well read, Henry still sounds like a dumb bland yokel. Also having murdered a bunch of innocent people now idk why he still has any qualms about doing something slightly illegal like robbing.

Trip Report: So i went hunting east of Uzice to work on my bow skillz and killed a couple bucks and hares... but after i cooked them all outside town to avoid the poaching penalty and went back in to the trader and grocers and I still had plenty of meat to go back to Talmberk on a gallop to sell the rest.. or so I thought. The poor rear end 'trader' had practically no groschen on him so I said gently caress it, let's ride back to Rataje on the most direct path possible before nightfall. Can't fast travel because I've overloaded poor Pebbles and I'm still overloaded myself so we're gallopping all the way towards the marker. OOPS!!!! I forgot I finished the bandit quests for Cpt. Bernard and I'm on the bandit camps for Robard... and I ride right into the patrol for the camp I'm supposed to eliminate for him. loving Cumans unhorse me when I ride right into them without even realizing it. Their archer fires an arrow into poor Pebbles and I'm thrown from the saddle! poo poo... got to drop all the cooked meat I'm carrying. That's a good 500 groshcen right there!! It's 3 of them and that archer against me. They keep outflanking me and I know I'm not going to win with a stab here and there against each one of them even in my brand new brigandier armor from the noble wayfaring knight I rematched and defeated for his armor! I turn tail and run. I have enough stamina to call Pebbles back to me and ride enough away to corner one of the Cumans. I shoot a few arrows in haste at him, missing each shot. He unhorses me again when he sprints up to me striking me 3 times knocking my stamina to nothing. Kurva!!! I circle him preparing to block; out of breath waiting for the strike that takes me down. But I'm armored, I can take his lovely slashes against my plate and mail. He kicks me to the ground and I get up, parry his strike and stab at his head. He falters and I see my opportunity to strike. I slash at his unprotected shoulder and stab into his back when he cowers and covers the strike. I slay the heathen as he writhes on the ground and narrowly dodge and arrow from his archer compatriot who has finally managed to catch up to me. The sky opens up, rain and lightning as if The Lord was angry with the events transpiring around me. I sprint towards him, bleeding and hurt and slash at him with all my might. In a blind rage just slashing and stabbing until he falls... until well after he falls. But in my raging sprint he's managed to lodge an arrow past my mail into my neck, I can no longer see to my right. I wheel to around to my left just as another member of the patrol falls on me and I flee as fast as I can along the road, back towards the town as fast as I can. No time to call Pebbles, I must flee on my own, my health failing me, I stumble onto the outskirts of the village just as dusk settles and I am saved by the townsmen who come rushing to my aid to take on this fully armored Cuman heathen while I gather myself and pummel him with attacks while the townspeople bludgeon him. I make my final strike and slay the whorechild. Success!! This bastard was the leader of the camp, who refused to give up the chase and paid dearly with his life. I call Pebbles over, tired and hurt. I mount the saddle and saunter slowly towards the gates of Rataje where I stumble into a bed, hurt and bleeding. Victory is mine!!! And a save... Jesus be praised O_O edit: OK now I'm loving annoyed. I didn't get to save, I'm 'still in combat' according to the game even though I've ridden to the inn at the glade... couldn't do poo poo and then gallopped to neuhof and then back to rattay and I'm still 'in combat' so i can't loving save and now I've fallen into the moat and am completely stuck. I am really pissed that this epic battle and all my skilling up is going to be for nothing if i have to reload my last save from 2 hours ago. this is REALLY loving annoying. edit2: aaaaand the game just crashed. That loving sucks. Worst game breaking bug EVAR. And I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't have anything to do with this. Jesus be praised. I haven't been this pissed off at a game in a very, very long time.

I have a love hate relationship with this game. Like, the combat is infuriating and extremely satisfying in equal measure, and I can live with frame rate lockups in Rattay every 2 seconds because the rest of the game world is goddamn beautiful. I’m sure people have talked about this to death in the last 50 pages, but what the hell is with that bathhouse sequence in Rattay? Did Czechs really bathe fully clothed in the 1400s? I mean, considering that there’s a quest later where you get shitfaced with a debauched priest and get your gently caress on like 5 feet from and his lady, it’s just goofy that you bathe in shirt and pants.
