Really appreciating little touches like the triangle symbols on the alchemy base liquids, it's great just glancing at the book to double check I'm using the right one. 'course missing big touches like not actually checking that you're following the instructions is a bit weird.

Having the hardware they tested with (popular card, recent driver, popular cpu, typical ram storage) will more than likely give you a less buggy experience. I would think people with super powerful PCs with uncommon hardware that most people wouldn’t have or have some throwback cpu that might be great but is very old would yield a more buggy experience. You’re an idiot.

According to the steam hardware survey your GTX 1070 and 16GB of RAM put you firmly in the uncommonly powerful hardware category, so congratulations on not only being an idiot but shooting down your own misguided point.

I've got an intel i3-2100 processor they discontinued 5 years ago, and a 4gb 1060? Nvidia card from a couple years ago. The only performance issue I've had is hitching in rattay Main Street and tamberg castle. Seems much better with the cfg change. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Feb 19, 2018 |

Sorry if this has been asked already, I read the last several pages and didn't see anything. In the quest where you have to tail three commoner ladies into the woods, has anyone gotten a positive outcome? By staying out of sight until the woodcutters attack, I can avoid Henry participating in the peyote trip. but even when I cudgel the woodcutters into yielding, and save the girls, I am still stuck reporting to the priest that I was forced to kill the woodcutters. I can totally accept it if there is no good outcome, but the way the priest keeps saying "Jesus Henry, there was no other way? Nothing ELSE you could have done??" makes me think I am missing something.

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.

Please don't use me saying this as an excuse to take this thread into poo poo City but a looooooot of Steam reviews are, by their own admission, trashing the game because the lead writer is an rear end in a top hat. Which, that's fine, but David Bowie hosed teenage girls and last I checked his music is still great so whooooooo cares.

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. Similarly, plenty of people have pointed out that collision detection on stairs is pretty hosed. I've gotten Henry stuck in plenty of places just trying to move around normally. None of that has poo poo to do with your build. I like the game but let's not pretend that it's surprising that a small-studio produced a super-buggy open world game. It's a tough thing to do.

I tried to solve this non-lethally as well by punching them unconscious, but every time I succeeded the scripting on the encounter would bug out and not advance. Either the non-lethal solution is just bugged right now, or they intend for you to come out with a bad outcome and circumventing it breaks poo poo. Hard to tell which is the case at this point.

I've had to reload like 3 times so far because a quest will break and either not let me progress in the quest (like a sidequest) or won't let me progress at all if it's a mainquest. A bunch of other smaller bugs as well, but those are my most hated kind of bug in this kind of game.

Yea I didn’t mean what you’re talking about which are actual bugs. I was rude to that guy bc he was acting pontifical and lovely. There are for sure bugs in this but I haven’t experienced any yet, probably bc I’m one of a hundred thousand people playing the game and we’re all gonna do something different. Like opening a treasure map while mounted with Your sword drawn. Initially I was referring to “bugs” people kept claiming they found (like in Steam reviews) that were related to weird settings and optimization.

I'm not getting the boiling part of alchemy recipes - some people swear the stuff has to bubble for it to count, but I'm successfully making potions by barely warming it up, pulling bellows once for every turn, waiting for fire to go out and pulling again for next.

What you are doing is correct. Technically I believe you can work the bellows continuously, but if you just pump-let go out-pump-let go out you don't even have to use the timer.

Slapping him around for a few minutes at a time is great to get your axe and mace skills up to level five-ish, which is probably enough to take them out into the wild. That said, am I doing something wrong or is it somehow either impossible or much harder to feint with axes and maces? I just can't seem to get it to work. Combined with their terrible thrusting I'm having a hell of a time actually opening up my opponents.

In my experiences feinting is pretty much worthless. You are way better off doing a perfect block, jabbing, and following up with a swing, especially if you knock them off guard.

Thanks for contributing with whatever your point is. That sucks that your computer sucks because I have basically the exact recommended hw and haven’t experienced lovely performance after about 5 minutes of setup. I guess it’s like I’ve had a different game experience that I wanted to express to someone commenting on reviews. Mine has been really positive with few graphical flaws and yours just sucks. Or did you just within the last year buy an old computer? Serious question, do you think the following statement is true? OPTIMAL == MINIMAL?

So I went on a little nigh time raid in the armourers shop. I got frustrated when I saw the armourer had packed away all the valuables before closing, so I choked out one of the guards in his bed and stole all his stuff. He didnt seem to care the next morning though;  A few days later he apparently saved up enough money to buy a full set of equipment so maybe ill visit him again whenever I need some quick cash.

Right, I’m not saying that a game released a week ago with about 100 hours of content and miles of rendered terrain doesn’t have bugs. Just that the negative reviews would have you think the game is unplayable because of them and I have yet to find any meaningful bug after around 16 hours.

Holy poo poo: just scouted the bandit camp north of Talmberg for Sir Radzig, and hot drat that was tough poo poo! I almost caved and got the unlimited save mod, but managed to complete without turning to the dark side. There was about an hour of me trying to get a sentry by himself so I could knock him out and steal his uniform, where I would either fail the takedown and get murdered or another guard would wander by and catch me. Finally getting it done was worth a Schnapps! The atmosphere on this quest was amazing: the lighting and sound design are top notch! Sneaking around at night, in the rain, avoiding the torchlight was tense and gave me some good Theif flashbacks! Pro tip: when approaching a guard a night, always sneak up from the line of his shadow. Also, died at least 6 times trying to run away through the woods on horseback. Another pro tip: have your torch out when riding at night. Did get my first real bug: I managed to sneak into the camp, passed all of the speech checks, then poisoned the food and burned the arrows without being seen, which is perfect completion afaik, and when I got on my horse to ride out my dude just looked straight up into the sky and began spinning in place. Had a reload, which lost not only about a half hour's worth of work, but about six-tries worth of luck. Considering the horror stories: I'll be counting my blessings and buying a lottery ticket.

So in picked the game up last night. Took me a coupple of tries but I beat the old man. I still dont understand a hit of the combat mechanics, he kept doing this weird counter on me which I'm still not sure how it happened or how to do it. Escaping the castle was also very weird. I simply jumped off the drawbridfr at fiest but then reloaded and talked to a few mpre people. Ended up trying to steal the armour and lie my way out. But disappointed that I failed to lie to the guard refused to bribe him and then was simply able to tey again with a different lie which worked. I also spent about half an hour trying to pick an easy lock. I got it in the end though, I droped my mouse dpi to about 1200 and it was much easier to stay on the sweet spot

Yeah, I'm not going to defend Steam reviews because Steam reviewers wet their pants over any game that costs them more than a dollar of their allowance money, but I'm around fifty hours in (I played a lot over the past few days!) and it's the combination of janky weird bugs AND the save mechanic that means that if you play for fifty hours you're gonna lose at least five or six of those hours minimum to annoying bullshit. It can be really frustrating. Game Still Good though.

THere's a huge field of it in the area where you do the Bird in the Hand side quest, west of Rattay, past the river, before the road. It's not always easy to spot till you learn what the plant looks like.
