Alchenar posted:There's an end to the main plot and then there's a literal 'ride off into the sunset' moment to close it all off but the game gives you a massive unmissable 'this will roll credits and dump you onto the main menu' warning. You can do it and then reload (but at that point you are probably ready to stop anyway). Unless you are me where I did that, ride right up to the border and the npc I was with got off his horse, left it there and slowly walked back to town so that he could stand silently in front of a window forever. He left his stuff in a chest at a camp though so now I have two of his swords. Pretty weird and I never got to see the end credits or whatever happens after the ride into the sunset. It was funny though and the bug was actually a more fitting end than whatever was supposed to happen.

Two things -- part of it's perks, also some items have a few different "versions" that have slightly different stats -- not all "black hoods" are equal. And yeah the kettle hat will pop your numbers up a bit either way, it's just the least bad helm option.

I bought the best bow that was available in a shop and the best arrows since i've tons of money now and lol I see why people say it breaks combat. I just did the nest of vipers quest and in the sabotage stage I just shot everyone until I'd cleared the camp so I could do the optional bits. It sucks that long swords do way more damage than every other weapon because I've now got the best axe and its damage stats are nowhere near the st martins sword I got for a side quest early on I'm probably way overlevelled at this point as well. I'm level 14 now as a result of doing a bunch of side quests before I did the main story and I've got 18k groshen from killing all the cumans during the nest of vipers

Does that actually reduce the number of cumans in the next stage of that quest? I'd be pretty cool if you roll in with Radzig and the troops only to find the pile of corpses that you had made while you were supposed to scope the place out..

If you hit all the quest goals etc. the night before, the fight the next day will be *easier*, but it isn't possible to just wander in and have Radzig greet a pile of corpses, unfortunately, no matter how many you slaughter. OTOH you can stash all the loot in the nearby chests and then come back later with your horse and cart it all off to sell, takes a few trips, worth it

I finished the game a few days ago. I have to say, it was quite an experience. Really hoping for a sequel. Also, in the quest, "Gallows Brothers," snitching on those two idiots Matthew and Fritz and getting them hanged was the morally correct decision. Prove me wrong.

So guys - how did you pump your Agility? My Hunting is maxed out, I've used the bow in fights here and then, but I'm still only at 11. Is it really just archery that increases it?

Using agility weapons , dodging and sometimes running and jumping around raise it(though it's pretty slow). Plus, the agility book series. Mostly, train with Bernard.

Ie. if a guy says "harry, do this thing and report back to me" and goes about their daily business then it isn't timed. If he says "harry, do this thing and report back to me" and is standing expectantly in a place you wouldn't expect a real person to stand expectantly at for long then it's probably timed.

Yeah, so far they have been pretty obvious (if your boss tells you to be at this point at dawn to go hunting, be at this point at dawn) but now I'm wondering if I have screwed up: Just after Pebbles, Captain whatsisname has hosed off god knows where in the middle of an investigation (just as Ginger in a Pickle starts), and he should be taking an interest in this pretty clear follow up to his orders. I have taken a two day detour to learn to read, which seems like a bad idea, but haven't gotten a failure notification yet. Anyway, besides the saving anywhere thing, which mods are good? I'm using the archery pointer, a mod to keep clothes clean for longer and a texture thing to make plants stand out more.

So uh...does anyone have Pickpocketing tips? I'm targeting sleeping people, but even they often catch me before I can even start rummaging in their pockets. It's tanking my reputation. I have my torch out, don't know if the game takes that into account. e: figured out two rules so far: 1. Don't pickpocket the same person twice 2. Never steal from shop guards e2: I just don't get it, sometimes I hold down e and I immediately get caught, how is that fair or predictable. They're loving asleep and I'm level 10 in Pickpocketing e3: are you pulling my pizzle with this poo poo Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Feb 2, 2019 |

From what I remember after a certain point I didn't really bother much with pickpocketing on my stealth run because it was easier to just choke people out from behind and take their poo poo. I think there were a few specific quests where you needed pickpocketing specifically and only that would work though. I think for those what I did was 1) make a shitload of pickpocket boosting potions 2) do the initial "train pickpocketing" quest a bunch until I got fatigued with it 3) ran around and did the various quests and found all the books that give +pickpocketing as a reward That was enough to get up to like pickpocketing 10 or so and that + potion made the quests that required it tolerable.

Whatever, I'm at 20 now and all it took was for me to become the most hated man in Bohemia e: it's actually not that difficult to steal a specific something from a specific person, it's just stupid how it stays RNG even after you max out both pickpocketing and stealth. You could be level 20 in both, wearing stealthy clothing, and you could still immediately get caught by a sleeping townswoman, tanking your reputation.

The minigames are fine. Lockpicking in general is fine. Pickpocketing would be fine except that the RNG god can decide that you got caught stealing a moldy pretzel from a sleeping grandma even in the stealthiest possible circumstances.

Are people getting lockpicking and pickpocketing confused? Lockpicking starts out unforgiving, but it follows the normal difficulty curve and I can lockpick Very Hard locks right under people's noses at this point. It's pickpocketing that's bullshit. Might be what Verviticus said, that would be typical for this game. I'll have to try getting really close every time, though it's easier to just choke people out and steal all their poo poo that way.

There is definitely something weird with pickpocketing sleeping characters. I can sneak up behind someone in broad daylight and pickpocket them without getting detected but trying the same on a sleeping person, especially if there is another person sleeping nearby, almost always gets me detected.

This game gets buggy so weirdly. I got forced out of the rattay tourney in the very final fight because it decided I needed to be inspected by a guard and I'm currently doing the dice side quest against the robber baron and 3 times in now it has let the other player go twice in a row Its also got to be the worst optimised game I've ever played. It slows down all the time in a way nothing else does on my pc

For pickpocketing sleeping people, you might want to make sure the game actually considers you "behind" the sleeper. For that, the way the model is facing doesn't matter. All sleepers are considered facing towards the footend of the bed. This way, you may also be able to avoid them recognizing you in the time between waking up and you knocking them out.
