The sense of place in this game is incredible. Given that they used real geography and maps, that's not too surprising. On my way to check out a village, taking a shortcut through the woods, gave me a better sense of wonder and fun than any planet in No Man's Sky ever has, and even better than TW3 or Horizon. The game world just does not feel "video gamey". Things are arranged in a way that seems more real by how imperfect it is - Horizon's map, for example, is so well put together but because of that it feels less real. And the weather/lighting push it over the top; wandering around at night in the rain is bloody fantastic. This game is seriously the biggest surprise in years. I'm not even someone who's ever been interested in a super-realistic medieval game.

Pyromancer posted:The entire shop's inventory is stashed in the chests in the same building, so if you can open very hard locks you can just go in broad daylight, take everything and crawl out carrying it and nobody says a thing because they were at the counter and the chest is in the back room they can't see or hear. Yeah i dunno whats up wth the lockpicking in my game. It levels so slow, I just recently hit level 5 after lockpicking what feels like every available very easy chest or door in Rattay, Talmberg and Skalitz. So at this rate i might be able to open very hard chests in a few ingame years. But.... By then i'll be a millionaire from my bandit looting racket so it doesn't really matter.

I would pay money for a pack of alternate intro videos. On a base PS4 it plays the entire thing every time. Luckily all the other loading times are nice and short, if this version had the 3 second black screen for conversations that people have mentioned it'd drive me sideways. It's only 1 second or less for me.

How do I rent a room? Do you have to do some quest first or have a certain rep level? None of the Innkeepers I've spoken to have any dialogue options for renting, just "About Rattay," trade, and End Dialogue.  Real Cool Catfish posted:Throughout the mission the Captain yells at you if you do anything without letting him know first. 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. Bernard is a beast. Is that the group of dudes who jump you after talking to Timmy's sister at the windmill? I tried to fight all 4 of them, first time I drew my sword because I didn't notice they were just using fists. Me pulling the sword got all of them to draw and I was promptly murdered. Next time I tried boxing and was beaten unconscious multiple times before they ran off and I got a journal entry saying, essentially, that they beat Henry senseless but he didn't give up the goods. beefart posted: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. Pretty sure that's just an easy way to avoid nudity, but knowing the Middle Ages, that kind of modesty wouldn't totally surprise me. SeaWolf posted:Trip Report: That story was awesome with a  ending.precision posted:I would pay money for a pack of alternate intro videos. On a base PS4 it plays the entire thing every time. Eww, that sucks, but it may be the loading time. On PC, with my SSD, I can skip the intro movie after ~3 seconds and go straight to the main menu screen.

I just went through the "patrol Rattay" quest and I was stunned how realistic the architecture in the towns looks. Despite the rampant bugs this game is gorgeous and the world feels lived in to a degree that many games miss, I keep wanting to stop and take a look at the creases in walls and the thatch roofing on houses.

Guards don't care about you unlocking doors, you can do it in right in front of them and they won't care. You can also run around inside pretty much at will even if the area is restricted, the guards will only get mad if you are inside the "trespassing" area. Alchemy: You do not have to follow the recipes, just put the right amount of ingredients in the cauldron. The only thing that matters is if you distill it at the end or tap the cauldron straight into the phial. You do not need any perk for this to work.

Seams posted:I have that quest in my log and it sounds like it might be a racing mission so it will forever stay incomplete. Good choice, it is so far the worst quest in the game for me. Not because it is buggy but because the only indication you get of where you need to go are very easily missed messages that pop up while you are racing. Here is the solution: Go to the center of Ulzhits, by the church there will be a pole with a flag on it. Ride close to it and you will "pick it up". Then you will need to go to the mill south east of Merhojed. Same deal, there is a pole with a flag on it, ride close to it. You now need to go to the coal burners camp north west of Talmberg, same deal, ride close to the pole which is at the far end of the camp, and then ride back to the start in Talmberg. There is no need to go offroad to win but you need to be fast. To win easily there is a bend to the left quite early when going to Ulzhits from Talmberg, you can ride straight through the woods here getting a comfortable lead.

The OP should have big bold text letting people know that Henry literally can't perform all the sword moves until you get a second sword lesson. Really ought to beeline to that objective because it also will level you up quickly

Weird poo poo: Everyone in Ratay pretend to knows me and salute me "Hey Henry!", is all "hello henry", "hey henry". It make me feel weird, I like to have a low profile, and I am not stranger to steal people property. Having everyone to know me by name make it harder. I wonder why people is so happy to know me. All I did was that one hunt with the local rear end in a top hat noble, and helped some people get a job.

Edit: Maybe I'm stupid, but how do I get Bernard to beat the poo poo out of me some more? My only dialogue option is 'training', and that is pay-for-skill not actual sparring.

Another weird medieval stuff is how the peasants are dependant of having a priest. They don't want running water, a pub, local television, a whore house... they want a priest before they can even think to move to a place. And the sitter (*checks google translations for proper word* herr... the place to poo poo) is on many rooms in a corner.

Don't worry though, in 15 years the Hussite War will kick off, and the disciples of Jan Hus will defeat five papal crusades and wreck some serious HRE poo poo, with guns and cannons. Anyone know any rich general merchants? I got like 100 chalices that I want to unload.

Alchemy is not has annoying has I through It would be. Your character still move slow but is kind of easy. I am bad at cooking in real life, but I don't find a problem here. Heres some info for people that have not even tried it yet. - When it say 1 turn or 2 turns, it means the sandclock thing. So start something, turn the clock, and when the clock is empty, a turn has passed. - When it say "boil", you can safety ignore the word. You don't need to boil anything, simply by having fire behind, is already "boiling". - If you did the things correctly, you must use the empty bottles in the left to collect the result. - If you still don't like the system, you can still do some of it for the save potion, that would be useful.

You don't need to do anything, just put the ingredients in the cauldron in the right amounts. The only thing that matters is how you fill the phial, if the final step mention no boiling or letting it cool then fill the phial straight from the cauldron, otherwise distill it into the phial.

I have understood 0% of what you just have said. Alchemism is a secret club for cool kids, and they uses their confusing words to stop outsiders like me to enter and learn it. But I have decyphered their entry recipe and I can now teach other people to do cool potions.

None of it matters. There are only 3 things that matter 1) What the base is (water/wine/oil/spirits) 2) Which herbs you throw in and how much 3) Whether you take the potion from the cauldron directly, or distil it first. EG to make saviour schnapps: * Add wine to cauldron * Add one handful nettle to cauldron * Add two handfuls belladonna to cauldron * Pick up vial and apply to cauldron

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I've run around for like 10min and I found a golden goblet; a treasure chest with a potion, a ring and some more bling. And then I looked in a loving nest going "hey maybe I can get some eggs" and I found a necklace valued at 1k loving coinage. Where do I sell this poo poo for maximum dosh?! Also loving medieval peasants clearly just didn't look hard enough 10 min from their own homes cause I have sweet poo poo and they have to pour dog pee onto skins for a living.

How the gently caress do I lockpick with m+k, it seems impossible. I understand the concept but the lock turns too fast for me to keep up with the mouse cursor at the same place and the margin of error is like 0. Should I lower the mouse sensitivity for this, what the gently caress.

Generally I use 1600 DPI but for lock picking I half it to 800 and it gets much much easier.

It's extremely easy with m+k - find the sweet spot, then hold D and move the mouse clockwise to keep the spot in the same place relative to rotating part. Is your mouse sensitivity so out there you can't draw a circle with it?
