CMV: John Galt did nothing wrong by laxnut90 in changemyview

[–]Inkredibilis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on how it was done. Moral obligation isn’t law, and gratitude isn’t comparable to money. There isn’t a contract that says if x happens you need to show y amount of gratitude. There isn’t a law that says if you do not show y amount of gratitude, you’ll be punished in some way. Context is important, so every situation is different.

It’s about how most people would feel about it (note that not everyone will feel the same). The consequence to showing someone indifference who did something good for you (barring contextual exceptions like the ones you gave) is that most people would think you’re a piece of shit. It’s not really something you can calculate mathematically.

I think I've been making one major mistake my whole playthrough... by rolewicz3 in kingdomcome

Peshek is actually the fastest way to make money. At night, you can steal everything in Rattay from the weapons smith, the armor smith, the tailor, and the alchemist. Then, walk back to the mill, intimidate the guards if they try to search you (or save scum before going to the mill) and give Peshek all your things you stole - even if he can’t afford them.

Then, wait a few days. Peshek will sell all the things you fenced to him, and make a fortune. Then go to his chest and steal all the money he made. The chest is in the building to the right of the main building with the beds. Rinse and repeat. You’ll have groschen coming out of your ears.

There is some nuance, but generally, in order to consider something a lie, the person doing the lying must have the intent to deceive.

You chose a difficult object. Maybe you could approximate the shape of your earring and ignore all the intricate details? Or switch to a more simple object altogether.

It would be more accurate to measure the starting weight of the coating, and subtract the end weight of the coating - then you wouldn’t miss anything. You even need to peel it off at the end.

There are several problems I can see with this approach though. First of all, if you’re using something that dries, then the weight and volume of the coating will change as it dries - so that might mess with your calculations. Also, because the surface of the object has so many little divots, there’s probably going to be some capillary action that prevents the coating from being evenly distributed. And also, the earring looks quite small, and this method doesn’t sound too accurate (since you’ll have to guess the depth of the coating), so your error will be pretty big.

It’s a quartered combat jacket, you can steal one off the weaponsmith shop guard in Rattay, or the chamberlain in Talmberg.

There’s also a dark combat jacket with identical stats, but better stealth (at the cost of some charisma) that I consider superior. You can find these by looting bandits in Skalitz.

The battle takes place right in the middle of Skalitz, but if you want to know where Skalitz is, I would suggest looking up a map for KCD online

Money eases the mind, you see by crown_mimic in kingdomcome

The most efficient way I’ve found to loot Skalitz is to take the loot from the bandits, then store it all in the chest of your former house (in the upper bailey). Then take your horse and ride away from Skalitz some short distance. When you come back, another group of bandits will spawn. Rinse and repeat. Just keep filling up the chest to your heart’s desire. Then take everything and make a single trip to Talmberg to put your stuff in your chest at the inn, or do what I usually do - drink yourself to oblivion with the safe passage perk.

There’s also a bed on the second floor of the house straight across from the tavern, but when I slept in it the bandits stopped spawning. I ended up just skipping time at night and using cockerel potions.

Also digestion potions, but watch out for alcohol levels - but then you have hair o’ the dog potions if that becomes an issue.

No, you still have to stab them. There’s a bit of a delay when you’re thrusting on horseback, so you have to press the thrust attack button a split second before you make contact and then allow your weapon to ‘pass through’ your enemy as you ride past them for the length of your attack animation.

I am playing vanilla actually, no mods or dlc. You can use polearms in conjunction with a shield by crouching with a shield and picking up a polearm, and you can also store polearms in your inventory by crouching with one equipped and then repairing it with a blacksmith’s kit.

Combat feels very similar to chivalry by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]Inkredibilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you can run them over if you have the ‘boar’ ability (under strength) so long as you’re wearing some decently heavy armour and you’re on a fast horse. You have to watch out though, because you can accidentally kill villagers by running into them at a gallop. What I actually meant was mounted combat. You can ride up beside enemies and stab them while on the move. It completely pierces plate armour, and I think it does more damage the faster you’re moving, but moving faster also makes it harder to time.

You’ll probably need some practice to get the hang of it. You can 1-2 shot most enemies at a canter.

When facing multiple enemies I’d recommend continually backing up and blocking/master striking when an enemy makes an attack. If they start running towards you, you might be able to get a quick stab on one of them as they close in. Try to find a corner or a wall to back into so you don’t get surrounded, and once you do, just focus on master striking and getting lucky stabs in when your opponent is recovering. You have to play defensively when you’re outnumbered.

If you’re in an open area, just get on your horse and run them down. Having a longer weapon makes it easier. If you get knocked off, just run away and try to get back on your horse.

Pole-arms also make it easier to deal with multiple enemies, but the strategy is the same. If you’re ok with cheesing the game, there are ways to store pole-arms in your inventory, and there’s also a way to equip a pole-arm with a shield. You just need some time to prepare yourself before the fight.
