I'm going to ask again because I'm a lazy piece of poo poo, but if you get caught pick pocketing outside of town, is it best to just commit and :killing: ? Thought someone said they will report you eventually somehow and you'll get a wanted flag/ guard aggro/ rep hit.

The npcs will start running toward town and report to the guards. Best not to leave witnesses

Game needs customizable/ colored fletching for the arrows. It's loving impossible finding what you've killed let alone a stray arrow in the woods.
Traps and lures woulda been great too, sometimes ya just only find two rabbits an hour. Oh well first time i've left rattay so maybe best it's uneventful.

I got owned by the Robber Baron quest and lost ~3 hours progress. I think people mentioned it here before but I wasn't listening. Something about if you go report the camp's location back to Bernard, after you kill the Baron, any saves made after you turn in the quest are corrupted and won't load. If while scouting you just happen to kill everyone it's fine. Not sure if there's a third diplomatic solution yet, cbf replaying it again.

The things I've seen...
I've been playing for about 25 hours and I have only killed 7 people and maybe 10 animals. Spent most of my time talking to people, exploring and being law abiding. I guess I broke the law a little bit when I robbed a person after he refused to help those in need without me paying him first. I did pay him though. Great experience so far!

Well, except for that guy doing the VO for Diwish sounding like a guy in his twenties.

I killed him though as I wanted to see how archery was outside of competing with Hans. I didn't expect to hit him in the neck from 20 meters, or for him to bleed out running away. Will that complicate finishing the quest chain?

I bought the 2nd and 3rd off of roadside hobos. You can choose to use them when gambling, but I'm not really sure what they do.

Ok, I tested the "leg day" perk under Herbalism.

Going from 10 to 15 Herbalism with Leg Day enabled is enough to raise your Strength from approx 1.2 to 4. It's a nice boost in the early game at least but only if you're into grinding Herbalism.

Go to any cooking pot, look at the fire underneath it, and you should get a Cook Food option. Cooking it makes it legal again and you can sell it to any merchant that will buy it.

Definitely worthy of the M-rating. Blood coats armor and clothing, there are scenes depicting murders or other slayings, but there isn't any active dismemberment by the player as far as I have seen. You can't go around chopping limbs and heads off.

Anybody: is there a combo tutorial online? I cannot figure this out. I've tried clicking before the strike, just after the strike, at the moment the strike is audible, but nothing will get me a combo. What is the specific moment to press the slash button again? Do I have to hold the button down? Do I have to press two buttons simultaneously like a reposte? I've tried the training event with Bernard dozens of times, and after 20 or so attempts it just completes the objective when I hit him once, never having completed a combo. I still haven't learned how to combo.

If you're using a Longsword with a shield the combos won't work, Longswords are a two handed weapon, so that might be it.

Trying to, yes, but the game seems to automatically choose the next swing if you press the attack button quickly enough. I see the direction arrow flash for the next attack in the combo, I try to move the mouse in that direction and press attack when my weapon clangs from the strike. I have only purchased short sword combo perks, and am using a short sword and shield.

In the training event you get a long sword, and it's supposed to be upper swing, upper right, then a lower swing. If I wait until the clang, the game has me do an uppercut for the second swing, instead of down from the upper right. So I'll attack from straight up to start the combo, but then another attack press makes me swing from below.

When are you supposed to press the attack button the second and third time? When the game flashes the next direction arrow (before the strike), exactly when the weapon connects (when it clangs), or after that? Because I have tried all three and it doesn't matter whether I change the attack direction or let the game do it: my second strike is never both 1) from the correct direction and 2) at the correct time to be a combo. My stats still say I have only done 1 combo, despite completing the training event a few dozen times.

it's based on how you dress/behave so they're probably calling you a knight because you kill the peasants who have turned to banditry, upholding the current order and dressing in sweet plate armor.

For most of history a knight was just an armored fighting man, it wasn't until much later it became an honorary title that distinguished you as not a peer, but at least not a filthy commoner. Even then I don't believe it came with land though. Also, all the people calling you a knight are peasants, they don't know any better anyway

So the game is starting to lag more and more. Textures are failing to load quickly, faces and armor are failing to appear.

Really evident during Baptism of Fire. I get the feeling some of the important cut-scenes didn't load, because I got a bunch of dialogue during a loading screen and then was suddenly in a climactic fight. e: looking at youtube, some of the cutscenes didn't even play. Also had a moment when everyone was standing around doing nothing. Loading also took ages (will be updgrading to an SSD soon, which I assume will help with that).

Only running a 960 with 8GB RAM so I think I'm doing OK at medium, but are there any tricks and tips anyone has picked up to make things run a bit smoother? Cheers

I think during this period knights were almost exclusively from the nobility, with a few highly skilled peasants thrown in:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight#Knightly_culture_in_the_Middle_Ages

quote:

The institution of knights was already well-established by the 10th century. While the knight was essentially a title denoting a military office, the term could also be used for positions of higher nobility such as landholders. The higher nobles grant the vassals their portions of land (fiefs) in return for their loyalty, protection, and service. The nobles also provided their knights with necessities, such as lodging, food, armour, weapons, horses, and money. The knight generally held his lands by military tenure which was measured through military service that usually lasted 40 days a year. The military service was the quid pro quo for each knight's fief. Vassals and lords could maintain any number of knights, although knights with more military experience were those most sought after. Thus, all petty nobles intending to become prosperous knights needed a great deal of military experience. A knight fighting under another's banner was called a knight bachelor while a knight fighting under his own banner was a knight banneret.

A knight had to be born of nobility – typically sons of knights or lords. In some cases commoners could also be knighted as a reward for extraordinary military service. Children of the nobility were cared for by noble foster-mothers in castles until they reached age seven.
