Already brewed like 12 savior schnappses. It took like 10 minutes. People complaining about save system are just lazy bums.

Found Pavlena, the way she
skewered Ota was so brutal
, damn.

I absolutely love this beginning point in hardcore immersive RPGs where I am a nobody and have to scrape for every groshen and finding something valuable feels like Christmas.
I'm already leveled up alchemy quite a bit. I get 6 potions per every brew at henrys strength. So yeah the game gets pretty easy in some areas as you unlock perks.

Eh... I just counted the maidens I saw working around the house. Then I just waited outside (with a torch) at night until the last maiden walked upstairs to go to bed. Then I snuck in without a lockpick, and the farmer was sleeping on the bench inside the door. I killed and robbed him, and by that time everyone was asleep. So I robbed the whole floor without waking anyone up and got out of there without issues.

...And it was fucking awesome. I was grinning at max at the end.

🤷‍♂️
So you walked in behind the maiden before the doors were locked?

Btw if it wasn't already clear, lockpicking doors is not the only way to enter someone house to steal (i hate the lockpick minigame with a passion) and if you steal at night with an armour you are gonna make more noise, i was forced to steal a guitar for a quest and i was able to enter from a window after some minor "parkour" but they caught me because i had my armour, reloaded and done the stealing naked and everything went well.
(or maybe they saw me naked and ignored me because they though i was a sex maniac ready for some action, who knows?)
i looked around and there was no way to enter that house. the other barn had a ladder i could climb up into the attic, but no such thing here. a great game wouldve allowed me to grab a ladder and let me make my own way inside. but this game is very rigid despite people praising it for its 'systems'.
Early game can be rough, im just starting to feel good about my character after 20 hours so...it takes time, but the progression also feels satisfying and impactful. I had fun the whole time tho and im liking the combat more and more. The more you understand about it and the more skills you unlock the better it gets
I will keep at it. PSN is down and i cant play FF7, another game i hated but ended up coming around to like literally 12 months later, but herman sucks ass and i cant play a single player game while psn is down.

I should be able to sleep on the ground in every place if i'm literally falling down because i haven't slept in 2 days, any human would sleep on the floor instead of literally dying of sleep depravation, make sleeping on the ground wasting your hunger meter 4x times faster and don't have any health regen and very little sleep regen and you can be attacked at any time by bandits that even get a free hit on you, so you know it's by far the worst sleep method but make it possible, forspoken gave you the chance to build an improvissed camp to sleep everywhere, the fucking forspoken ffs :lollipop_grinning_sweat:
The thing with these eating, and sleeping systems is that they are designed just to fuck with you. to make your experience a chore. I was trying to figure out how to kill that dude and all of a sudden i started passing out.

Why stop at eating and sleeping? Make me take a shit every day. Force me to go to the toilet and if caught, send me to the jail and have me whipped for shitting in someone's shitter.

Or lets go one step further, and if i get caught pissing in public, arrest for public indecency, and ban me from entering schools and playgrounds. Then transfer me to a different church.

Yes, she walked upstairs entered the outdoor and went in the bedroom at the right. I started following her when she went through the outdoor, and I followed in when I heard the bedroom door shutting.

You're missing the bigger picture. There are perks and potions that counteracts the strong need for sleep. Yes, of course these things are meant to fuck with you in the beginning. Fuck with you just enough so that you'll appreciate getting rid of most of the annoyance when you start to progress. Idk what your experience with RPGs is, but I for one like that you're kinda useless at the start, it makes the progression perks and upgrades meaningful and valuable.

Perks

  1. Insomniac: This perk reduces the rate at which your character's energy depletes, allowing you to stay awake longer without feeling the effects of fatigue.
  2. Night Owl: This perk increases your energy regeneration during nighttime, making it easier to stay active and alert during late hours.

Potions

  1. Cockerel Potion: This potion increases your energy and slows down the rate at which you become tired. It's particularly useful for long journeys or extended periods of activity.
    • Ingredients: Spiritus, Valerian, Mint
    • Recipe: Grind the mint and add it to the cauldron. Boil for 1 turn. Add the valerian and boil for 2 turns. Finally, distill the mixture.
  2. Buck's Blood Potion: This potion increases stamina and stamina regeneration, which can help you stay active and reduce the need for sleep.
    • Ingredients: Oil, St. John's Wort, Dandelion, Comfrey
    • Recipe: Grind the St. John's Wort and add it to the cauldron. Add the comfrey and boil for 1 turn. Add the dandelion and use the bellows to boil for one turn. Finally, pour the mixture.
  3. Chamomile Decoction: This potion helps you heal faster while sleeping and replenishes energy more quickly.
    • Ingredients: Wine, Chamomile, Sage
    • Recipe: Add the chamomile and boil for 1 turn. Grind the sage and add it to the cauldron. Finally, pour the mixture.


Edit: I put things behind spoilers just in case...

If you are talking about the house with the guitar for the quest, there was a window where you can enter, then you only have to picklock a very easy tier lock and you can enter the room with the guitar.
 
Btw playing this game with mods that erase the simulation aspects is kinda stupid to me, the simulations is what differentiate the game from a more arcadey game, sorry but to me a game like this should be played as intended by the devs, at least for the first run.

And let's be real, brewing save potion is literally a non-problem, and you get them as rewards for quest more often than not, i have like 10 of them, all from looting enemies and quest rewards.

For people searching for an easy horse, you can find one in a place with a name similar to semen, not gonna say more :messenger_sunglasses:
It does bother me sometimes but I agree the game should be played as intended. First game it was very easy to make money and buy the potions not sure about this one.

Stupid question because I am not sure if I remember correctly... In Kingdom Come 1 there was an animation when you went to bathhouse right? Now its just skipping time?!

So I stole a horse from a field and rode it to the nearby town where I’ve taken up blacksmithing. I spent a few minutes knocking up a couple of horseshoes, then realised the horse had vanished. I whistled and the fecker didn’t come back.

I take it that if you steal a horse, they’ll just bugger off when your back is turned?

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Trying to find the damn dog is turning into quite the rabbit hole.
Been there lmao. They make you go to many places and some of them are even fully optional, depending on the order you might do some other quests.

Best thing is that I caused the death of a goat in process and that was for nothing. RIP Ignatius.

Yeah, you have to somehow "own" them for the whistle to works it seems. Buying them or talking it out (got Pebbles back just by speaking with the horse guy in Semine).

I wanted to be a dick in that one due to obvious reason, but just couldn't - Vasko was too cool.
Yeah same, I felt like I should have been against them but they seemed fine to me.

Btw, using the translator during this quest to understand what they say can be hilarious.

Never got an answer so I’m asking again

Anyone know if the world is worth exploring to find things like hidden chests, quests, or Easter eggs? Basically, worth roaming off the beaten path to explore?

I just want more of SlimySnake SlimySnake 's stories 😃
I just lost an hour and a half of progress because the game never saved after i did the farmer quest. I slept in Pavlena's hut but when i woke up it was night time, and the trader was closed. I decided to brew some potions in the meantime because you cant sleep again after just waking up.the potions were all weak because the herbs had dried up like pavlena's cunt. Of course, i was harrassed by guards who wouldnt let me brew in peace because it was night time and thou shalt not brew potions after dark.

I was eventually allowed to sleep at a barn for a few hours and traded a bunch of items and started a few more quests. figured the game wouldve saved after all those encounters but nope. every time i tried to sharpen my blade, people would harrass me so i would have to leave.

After an hour of realizing i have done nothing much, i finally went to find mutt after equipping some decent items and ran into that dude once again who killed me because henry just wouldnt take out his sword. turns out i didnt have it equipped in the menu and his first few hits put a bleeding effect on me which i couldnt fix because you cant bandage yourself in a battle.

i am sorry but fuck these cocksuckers. this is the same shit i saw in the early ps2 days when devs didnt know how to make non-linear games and didnt realize gaming is supposed to be fun and saves need to be automatic. garbage game design by amateur developers who are too obssessed with adding gay porn than a decent combat system and save points. not surprised this game took 6 years to make. they probably all lost hundreds of hours of progress during testing. utter buffoons.

Spent hours trying to figure things out on my own with repeated getting caught, dying, etc.

Looked up a guide and within 20 minutes I’ve got money and gear.

Feels like the game could’ve put the blacksmith in the first town you start to help new players to the franchise a bit more. I kept going west to the Z town with failure instead of north to T town.

Also; while a variety of activities are “neat” to do the first time the idea of doing them again is tedious. Alchemy? Blacksmithing? I never want to do them again.

Im mid on the game so far. It feels like there is a great game here but it’s buried in chores. Simulation games probably aren’t for me.

Actually retarded. I lost a hour of content because of I started a game of dice in the day which lead to a few more.

Night hits I don’t have a torch on and he’s pissed while I’m mid game. I can’t back out to equip it unless I want to lose all my money I just bet.

Game ends I get up and get murdered. The lady isn’t needing a torch but I am?

Game is made by retards. Their whole save system and checkpoints system is just there to punish players.

Again this game is tedious. All the fun is sucked out by archaic dip shit design.

It just a unapologetic game that plays by its own rules. For better or worse and I love that. It s not for everyone ill admit but at least its doing its own thing.
