VulgarandStupid posted:I don't get how they can say this game is realistic, the 40k gold I have should be making me overencumbered. 453.6 grams to the pound. Divide that by 3.6 and you get 126 groschen equaling a pound of silver. So, 40k groschen weighs 317.46 pounds. Let's see what you could buy with that. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/currency/results2.asp#mid With 317 pounds, 9 shillings and 1 old penny, in 1400 you could buy... 15,872 days of craftsman wages in building trade or 1,763 stones of wool. A stone is 14 pounds IIRC or 1,024 quarters of wheat. Quarters mean a quarter ton, 500 pounds. or 547 cows or 249 horses Basically you're rich as hell and well on your way to have enough money to build your own castle.

Depends on the barony. Does anyone know of a reliable place to gamble? Every tavern has like one peasant that gets up after you take their beer money.

TipsyMcStagger posted:Anyone doing a stealth and light armor try at this? What are you wearing? I did amd its pretty easy till the very end. I just used a jerkin and that neck cover thing thats kinda like a half cape. There are also light armor, i dunno, overcoat things available at a tailor that i didnt see at the armorer. For perks there is a light armor one and a dodge perk. The one that helps win clinches is super important because those take a toll and you have to kinda jump in and out of range a lot. You cant really handle more than a couple hits so you have to get good at tagging them in the face with the poke and backing out of range of any counter. Its really hard to win with slashes. The perk that lets you hit harder as stamina goes down is probably pretty helpful but i just got it so i dont know how big a difference it makes. Oh and buy the merrigold potion recipe so you don't have to go to towns to sleep and heal.

i think i hosed one of the monastery quests by breaking into the monastery a long time before you go there as a novice. i can't find the book for libri prohibiti; i know i took it when i was here earlier but it's not in my things that i left outside the monastery. worried i might've sold it.

I spent a good hour reloading trying to kill a Cuman in the "Run!" thing after the tutorial, and managed to choke out one of the rapist ones exactly once, come back and steal his poo poo, then have my driver crash while riding to tamberg. Every other time i tried to choke one out he would flip it around on me. And all the regular Cuman duders would mob on me and kill me, even if i was on horseback. I wanted my Hun playthrough to be only cuman poo poo ever but i will have to wait to find a random cuman later on.

So uh I got boar meat for the Sassau butcher (took me like 40 arrows too because I'm terrible) and suddenly he's disappeared. I googled it and the only thing I could find was an unfinished wiki entry for the butcher where someone else commented saying they had the same problem. Anyone figured out a way around this? or the nightingale in the cages quest? I'd really like to turn them in its a shame that like, a not insignificant percentage of sidequests suffer from bugs that render them useless

This is where I wish they had gone full MW and let you kill any NPC and just give you a "you broke the main quest, would you like to continue?" prompt. Then you can roleplay your way into Sigi's army! Frog Act posted:So uh I got boar meat for the Sassau butcher (took me like 40 arrows too because I'm terrible) and suddenly he's disappeared.

I got bored of having too much money, now its time to do a punching and drinking play through. I'm two hours in, but just getting through most of the starter BS. The main plan is to get Boar and Headcracker, but I'm thinking I might have issues actually killing people, which means I might need a bow to shoot them in the head. Heavy armor is a must, since I won't be able to block so I'm probably gonna bee line for the Warhorse chests early on and try to choke out the Faint Hearted Knight or any Mercs I see. Is there a way for me to kill unconscious people with a dagger or do they have to be awake for me to stealth kill them? Also, are there any actual unarmed skills?

There's something that effects your chance of success on a choke, but I don't know what the formula is. One big thing is noise, if you're loudly clad its almost impossible to get close enough to land the choke successfully. You can use mercy kill on the cumans fairly effectively if you have the perk (about 1 in 2 chance at five stealth).

Hieronymous Alloy posted:has anyone tried poison on weapons? how well does it work? Weirdly. I think poisoned melee weapons have a chance to apply? They're very inconsistent. Poisoned arrows seem a lot better to me, if you hit them with dollmaker they can't sprint, so all they can do is angrily power walk after you. TipsyMcStagger posted:Is there a place I can horde loot? Once you're out of starter hell, you can go to an inn with the lodgings symbol and rent a room "for a few days" which is forever. You get access to a storage chest that is shared between inns.

I cannot get past early game combat. Even with Cuman armour and a mace I get destroyed by 2 on 1. The auto-lock system completely fucks with me and I end up getting combo'd to death by whoever I'm not targeting. The lack of manual-saving is really starting to grate on me when I have to keep replaying the same 10 minutes of sprinting across the map just to try and fight the same guys.

the combat is learnable and winnable but ultimately completely loving awful because of its outrageous reliance on the auto-targetting system. being constantly forced to lock onto someone to handicap for the devs inability to make an AI that can handle being attacked outside of it really fucks up a lot of battles, not the least of which the ones where its you and some allies just full bulldozing through a bunch of dudes that have no hope of defending themselves its also extremely stat dependent and you'd never know because the HP system isnt granular or obvious enough to display that now that you have +1 mace and +1 str you're just going to like, mace that dude through his block. take a rage/artemeisa potion and watch full armor guys fall apart after one hit edit: the entire game completely falls apart if you min/max. if i ever want armor or anything i just casually walk through the store while all the guards are busy saying "hello henry how are you doing" to the chest in the back i unlocked ages ago and just steal anything i want. they kinda hosed up and didnt learn what all the older RPGs learned about shops and how you shouldn't be able to straight up steal their stock Verviticus fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Feb 24, 2018 |

It's weird cause whenever I stumble upon a random Cuman in the woods I can wreck him in a few hits with a mace. But as soon as there are 2 bandits with cloth armour I get destroyed.

the easiest ways around that are to A: get a bow and kite them a bit which will soften them up (or poison the arrows) or just abuse the combat, hold down shift, prepare a swing and then aim it manually. the ai literally doesnt know how to block if you arent targetting them or go practice until your stats render mortals a mild inconvenience at best

Is there a way to see exactly what the crime you've supposedly committed is? I just sold a huge load of armour to the Rattay armorsmith, haggling the price in my favour quite a bit, and after finishing the deal I suddenly got flagged for a crime, and the little fine icon appeared. I was wearing a stolen pair of pants, which I hurriedly stashed on my horse (though they were 'stolen,' i.e. looted from a corpse, in a totally different place to Rattay), but when I spoke to a guard and let him search me, he said something to the effect of "All this stuff is stolen! I'll have to confiscate the lot," ... except nothing I had on me was stolen and he didn't actually take anything from me as far as I can tell. Yet I still have the crime icon. Is this just a silly bug, or is there anything I can do about it?

i dont even think its a crime to try to sell things that are stolen. perhaps you were seen trespassing for a long rear end time or you didnt have a torch? i dunno what the crime is if you just ignore the guy yelling at you for an inspection, maybe he was chasing you around town and you didnt notice

I'm pretty sure the guard only appeared after I'd been flagged for a crime. Like I said, I got the flag after closing the deal with the armor merchant. I didn't even try selling him anything stolen! I did get a really good deal with haggling, though. Maybe they see my haggling skills as being criminally good.

Knobb Manwich posted:I suspect that the heating times aren't critical so players can discover recipes on their own. If you had to trial and error the heating steps you'd go insane. It'd be cool though if it only told you the heating was right when you got it right. Each time you do the recipe with the right ingredients, it’ll unlock the recipe in your book and then start unlocking steps to complete the recipe, one at a time. So you do it once and your recipe will now say “Add Nettle to the pot and boil for one turn”, then do it again with that step and it’ll show the next one. Which is I’m assuming the intended way, but with the heating bug you frequently skip all of that and jump to the full recipe. And pretty sure a couple of times the liquid’s down the bottom have not been the one in the recipe just to confuse me but could be wrong.

Previously that day:  This is from the nest of vipers scouting mission. I tried to see if i could pretend to be a bandit and fake my way in via the main bridge since there was only a single cuman standing there. However he attacked me on sight, and i manged to defeat him. But more cumans came. Then some more. Then after the cumans where dead, I thought that had to be all of them. So I went into the camp only to be rushed by a gaggle of bandits. I figured I was dead anyways, so i fled up those narrow stairs and decided to make a last stand to see how many i managed to kill before i died. But as the corpses started to pile up in the narrow stair case the AI couldnt reach me so i could safely stand there and plink at them with arrows, or stab their faces as they struggled to get over the corpses. This kept on for about 15 minutes until the entire camp was empty of bandits and cumans. Jesus christ be praised. (and my St George sword. After i decided to ditch my shield, that sword is killing everything. Heck, i instantly defeated Runt with a jab to the face. )
