it took me a long time to figure out that the elven archer guy had managed to get himself killed, before I found him when I was randomly in the morgue and burned one of my two wakestones to get him back up

still not sure how that happened, but whatever

Monsters seem to spawn inside cities.

Would you be my new best friends?

NPCs you do quests for gain a lot of affection for you which leads to them walking to your house a lot. For elf guy this means he has to walk from elf town through ogre infested woods, across bridges and through the goblin covered roads to reach your house.

Oh poo poo they actually do the physical walk? I went back to my old house in Vernworth and found a present left by the elf dad with a note about he really appreciated me helping his son, and the thought of him striding through all of that is terrifying.

Just think of the father-son trip they have to make to meet you at the hot springs after doing their quests makes them fall in love with you

I haven't been to any hot springs yet, I should get back to playing the game I guess!

I don't know how much of the actual walk they do, but people can drop dead going to and from. I've had people die after a trip to the hotsprings.

The hot springs specifically has a risk of getting people killed, since people who like you enough to visit the hot springs with you will go walking home right past a drake spawn on the beach. I've never run into a case where somebody died walking by themselves though, just when they got in hot water because they happened to be walking home at the same time I was nearby.

I'm at least mostly sure the game doesn't track npc / monster interactions that happen more than a given distance away from the player.

He was supposed to be waiting for me at a campsite for the trial of archery! I guess there were some wolves around there, though…

what’s the easiest way to generate RC? I was too high when I made my characters and my pawn needs a little extra work

Put on the corset on your pawn and max out the tit slider.

Yeah I think it's got to be something to do with distance. Like waiting around in the city after rejecting their escort quest and they walk away, they'll despawn eventually but it's still plenty of time for them to walk into trouble.

If the game will not give you a bloody knuckle ring, become the bloody knuckle ring.

Early on in NG+ I tried a punch/shield run, with middling success. It sucked. However, at a certain point, it DOES become viable, but that point is around lvl 80. Since enemies in the game don't really scale, at that point you'll be powerful enough that punching your way through the game actually becomes feasible.

So, I climbed into the rift and looked up the buffest fighter Pawns with shield skills, unequipped their main weapon, and roll through the game with x3 punchfighters and a mage. You WILL need a mage, as battles against drakes turn into wars of attrition, but they ARE doable.

As for my setup, I've got all endgame dragon equipment. My Arisen is Warfarer with Shield Bash, Counter Slash (this is optional, Flawless Guard is an acceptable substitute) and Aromatic Resurgence for my crew. Double Rings of Vehemence. I forget which augments, but I equipped the buff extension, knockdown enhance, knockdown resist, +strength, and I forget the others. Some stamina augments might help. I'm rather low on Dragon Crystals but I'm going to buff the shield bash skill to 1/2 the stamina cost, as that is definitely my bread and butter.

I've learned that you shouldn't focus on damage, but knockdown so you can land criticals/finishers, and the x2 ring of vehemence really helps with that. Almost all standard enemies will become exposed after 2-3 standard punches, and anything tougher than that gets shield bashed/stomped. Initially I tried playing with a Ring of Brawn but again, you aren't really trying to outright DAMAGE enemies, you want to overwhelm them with knockdown and then just stomp them into the dirt with your crew.

I shall make everyone look like me! Then when they trick each other, they will say "oh that Coyote, he is the smartest one, he can even trick the great Coyote."

did a thief steal it from you? I've also lost my home ownership papers for the small house in cat town and I have no clue what happened to them.
