So how are you supposed to get out of Talmberg then? Just give up on actually getting the armor from the 'right' way of doing things and get imprisoned/kicked out on purpose?

Yeah, the armour is in a locked chest, you have limited lockpicks, the chest isn't even the easiest level, and lockpicking is broken on consoles at least. Just punch a guard. I managed to do it the 'proper' way after many reloads and to be honest it nearly soured me on the whole game. Also, when you go to uzhitz is there any way of progressing if you fail to convince Godwin to help? I messed up first time and spent hours looking for an alternative solution with no luck, ended up reloading an earlier save ThomasPaine fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Aug 18, 2018 |

I gotta say, delivering a hungover sermon that I'd only heard the night before while in my smallclothes was not what I was expecting when I got this game. I mean, I could have put clothes on, but I don't think anyone would have been impressed with the gambeson I had been sleeping in for the past week. I think I'm close to unconquerable god-Henry status. I've got enough armor people are starting to confuse me for a knight, and enough training and skill that I'm no longer flailing like a peasant.

So um, is there a good time for me to jump off the main storyline railroad anytime soon? I got through The Prey by the skin of my teeth after many failures only when I was able to silently take down the melee Cuman, leaving me one-on-one with the archer Cuman. Now I'm apparently on a crash course with the guys who took the sword, but I am nowhere near ready for any of that. I tried to disregard it and do my own thing but I wound up failing the 'meeting with Captain Bernard(?)' objective. Is there some point between here and some fight I can't win where I can just disengage and take care of my own business for a time?

You'll do a couple of things there and then be turned loose. With a free horse. It'll be a bit more obvious from then on when you are about to trigger a bit of the main story that's time sensitive.

Since it's apparently not well-known, you can just sneakily untie Sir Hans in that mission and book it. The two Cumans are supposed to be a nigh-unsurmountable challenge.

Yeah that's how I did it. Just domed both of them with arrows and hosed off. That was around the time I put the game down though, too many bugs and this was near release. Have they fixed most of the game breaking poo poo yet?

Fought Cuman A and used him to block sight from Cuman B. I should finish this game at some point, I left off around the quest where Henry and Radzig have a chat on a cliff and it's very clear why Radzig indulged Henry's bullshit.

Having finished the game a few months back my main impression is that it strangely fails to take advantage of it's USP - the really interesting swordplay. I spend enormous stretches of the game not fighting anything, then the second half of the main story throws you into a sequence of battles which you mostly spend circling round the enemy and hacking into their backs. Either that, or fighting 3-4 v 1 and having to back away constantly and frantically change target lock to the most relevant threat. I would have really appreciated a pace that more regularly put me into 1v1 fights against an opponent that takes a bit of work to defeat.

I couldn't figure out how to pull that trick off since Cuman A is sitting on the log staring at Hans. Also, just so we're clear. Shooting things from a bow from more than 10 feet away is a total crapshoot yes?

ChrisBTY posted:I couldn't figure out how to pull that trick off since Cuman A is sitting on the log staring at Hans. Not entirely a crapshoot. The aim only moves side to side. It is also exactly at the original position at the end of the draw. You are not supposed to hold an arrow: aim first, then release at the moment the arrow is fully drawn. If you have to hold and aim, wait for your sway to center again and release when you are lined up. Again, if you didn't adjust the aim at all after starting your draw, the screen only moves left to right, just wait for it to center!

In fact doing that is probably one of the easier ways to make money, assuming you don't wanna go kill a few dudes and then sloooooooooowly limp back into town.

Which is funny until you try to grind it.

I bought this as part of the GOG sale and spent like most of my weekend playing it since I was having a real good time. I wake up this morning and try to load my save and it crashes on load. Try to load the next older save and the same thing. Finally get one that loads from like 6 hours of game play ago. Am I hosed or is there some way to repair saves? So far google search suggests that I am hosed

I came across a guard tower along the wall behind the church in Rattay, that was trivially easy to sneak into and absolutely loving loaded with expensive weaponry. Like, dozens upon dozens of swords and poo poo in the 500-1000 value range. Just nab all you can carry, sell what your fences can afford to pay for and stash the rest until either the stolen tag clears or the fences replenish their coin. So yeah, if you're not overly concerned about cheesy poo poo like this, it's very easy to get absurdly rich in this game in no time. Unless that place has been patched out, it's been a while since I played.

When I load them up, everyone just stands around, I can stealth kill them all, but can't talk to anyone or progress the story. Instead of diving back into my older saves, I think I'll just start over. I always find that easier than trying to decide where I left off.

I was playing with the cheathappens trainer, and put on one hit kills. Bumping into people kills them, but doesn't trigger that you killed them. I went to get something to drink and the cutscene ended and the king dude from the first castle bumped into me, died and then a bunch of guards freaked out cause the king was dead and tried to find him. The guards kept bumping into me and dying. I came back with my drink and nearly half the town was dead in a pile around me.

Continued my new hardcore game from a couple months ago, and caught up to where I left off right after release (got to You Shits  )Game is so much better it seems, and I really enjoyed it before. At least now if you choose to wait until people go to bed, they no longer throw on all their armor when they wake up! Before, I would choke one out and have to duel the hell out of the other until the former woke anyway. This time I waited in the trees until they went to sleep, choked one, and the other fought me in his underwear...two slashes and he died, and I stabbed the unconscious one.  Slept in the other corpse free sleeping bag until morning and went on my way with some new loot. It was awesome.

I wonder how that dlc is as well. I haven’t played either, I just got back to the part in the main quest where you first arrive at Ushitz. I know a lot of players are reporting that the Hans dlc is like 3hrs long and are unhappy. A couple of obscure review sites are loving it, and it was just announced by Rick from Warhorse that there was is a bug that is preventing an entire quest line. I’m not sure how far into the main quest I am, but everything seems to be flying pretty fast with little time to branch off a bit (although I am to the point where I learned to read again and do some side stuff) Really loving hardcore mode. Resting in the tavern for a second night after reading I drank some moonshine and beers alone in the loft. As the hours ticked by in sleep mode I heard Henry burp, and upon waking at 5am his sleepwalking kicked in and woke I’m an outhouse on some farm. “Henry has come to see us!”

Yeah, it seems short. Lots of players are reporting that Hans won't even talk to you to start the quest. It adds a tournament too. Probably best for fans wanting more.

It's plenty stable and game-breaking bugs are all gone. As an open world, it's going to have a base level of bugginess, though. DLC is partially out, the first 2? 3? have come out. I played it after the first round of patches and found it perfectly playable. If it looked like your thing to begin with, you should enjoy it just fine without bugs in the way.

It looked interesting but early reviews said it was a poorly optimized, bug-ridden disaster. I generally enjoy open world games, except all the associated bugs. What's the RPG gameplay like in this one other than "fetch quest" and "left-click to swing sword"?

If you want a gritty-historical version of The Witcher with a bizarre combat system: buy in! The game has its quirks but I would say it’s definitely worth $50 and if you can get it for $30 or less you’re getting a great deal on dollars/hour of entertainment.
