Pyromancer posted:Riposte is the thing Bernard teaches you in "master strike" training for every type of weapon separately.  This game is not very good at explaining itself. The other thing is called a Riposte in the skill description.

So has anybody else done the mission called Night Raid? I'm up to the bit where Capon gets shot in the arse and you have to pick him up and carry him out, but when the mission starts im surrounded by like 20 bandits and it seems impossible. edit: a hundred tries later and I'm assuming it's a bug because this makes no sense otherwise Seams fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Feb 22, 2018 |

I hate how everyone in Bavaria keeps banker's hours. Nobody and nothing does business before 9:00, not even bathhouses, and forget stumbling into an inn late at night and actually getting any accommodation.

Yeah honestly NPC schedules has always been an annoying mechanic and I was done being impressed with it all of a few hours into Oblivion back when it came out. It's especially bad here because for whatever reason waiting/sleeping takes forever and then goes into bullet time in the last hour. And if you alt+tab to do something else in the meantime it slows down even loving more. I'm on the monastery infiltration quest now and it pretty much makes me want to kill myself.

Edit: As for the bugs, giant RPGs like this are always buggy and broken at release. Especially when they decide to make it in CryEngine which is kind of notorious for not being the best at anything aside from making one or two Crysis games. evilmiera fucked around with this message at 13:46 on Feb 22, 2018 |

Bethesda game comparisons are even more apt when you start abusing the AI's pathing. In the camp scouting quest I found a spot where the AI can't get to you: In the Cuman camp there's a space enclosed by a low wall that has a short tunnel that leads to a small cavern filled with ankle-deep water. In combat the AI can't get over the wall. So I was able to stand there and plink arrows away into the various Cumans and bandits that came for me. You have to take care of the archers first but they're actually pretty poor shots. I cleared the entire camp doing this - turns out there is a finite number of bandits. From there, sabotage was easy. esquilax posted:One of the millers trains stealth. I think it's the one northeast of Sasau that starts the captured Cuman quest. That's not exactly how it works. Training isn't "+1 level," it's some amount of skill experience. I've trained and not gotten level.

I ended up getting into an armed fight with them, and actually won because three of the four didn't wear helmets. Just took one or two solid bonks to the skull with an axe each. Their leader with the fancypants longsword crumpled like two seconds in from a riposte. And then the game told me I'd just lost reputation for starting a fight.

Is fighting with a dagger in your offhand fun/a good idea? I really want to go learn reading and also deliver that ring but I want to settle on a primary weapon set first.

The Lone Badger posted:Could you clarify what you mean? Y'know what I'm not actually sure anymore. I can't get anything consistent when practicing with Bernie, but I think sometimes the animations don't play right with him. The game says while executing a perfect block, press the strike button to do a riposte. The riposte can only be blocked by a perfect block. When I was trying it out in Sasau, I noticed that a few times I killed guards even while they were blocking normally. I'd perfect block, do a return overhead strike, and even though they're blocking up they'd die. These were very different to master strikes, which play the special animation.

Smirr posted:Pro-tip: set the timer to one more hour than necessary, then cancel out at the desired time. But yeah, that slowdown on the last hour is just completely baffling. True, although I think if you cancel sleeping then the game doesn't save but I could be totally wrong about that. Another protip: when you're told to find a guy hiding in the monastery just pick a lock, run in, and shank novice Antonius. It might just be the worst quest I've ever played in an RPG and I've played a lot of lovely RPGs. Take annoying constant nagging, throw in some trivial boring rear end chores, then mix in more time spent on the waiting/sleeping screen than you could ever imagine and throw it in a crock pot for several hours until you get a big steamy soup of poo poo. precision posted:Is fighting with a dagger in your offhand fun/a good idea? I really want to go learn reading and also deliver that ring but I want to settle on a primary weapon set first. You can't actually equip the dagger. It's just there to enable context-sensitive stealth kills once you get the requisite perk.

Unfortunately, you can't use the dagger in any way other to stealth kill an enemy (assuming you have the perk). Would be nice be able to combo it with a short sword or other weapons.

Major Isoor posted:Also, one other thing: Are there any gambling locations that are more high-stakes than $10-15? Since as much as I love playing Furkle (or whatever it's called) the fact that it's netting me so little money is slightly annoying. Like, I get that the people I'm playing are piss-poor peasants, but surely there could be a shady gambling den for the nobility and rich burghers! Try the inn in Sassau, you can play for 60-90 each time depending on the gambler you meet. Speaking of gambling, I kinda like the fact that the loaded dice you find don't contain any description on exactly how they would behave. You just have to use them and figure it out for yourself. Phlegmish posted:So it's basically Belgium And the Netherlands. One time I was in Rotterdam and had a spur of the moment desire to drive to Bruges. But nope, because it's Easter Sunday I can only pick up cars that I have booked ahead of time, but not rent on the spot, even though they have cars, and people working, at the rental place. How are you guys a modern secular country in the 21st century?

How are you guys a modern secular country in the 21st century? I'm Flemish myself, but I work full-time and even I'm annoyed at how hard is to do any shopping during the week. When I leave for work, stores haven't opened yet. When I get home, most of them are closed already. Who are they selling to? It's a remnant of the medieval corporatist guild mentality (which I suppose is still preferable to a full-on slide into liberal dystopia), so I'm not surprised to see it in Kingdom Come.
