Shotgunnova 04/18/23 6:42:17 PM #8:	Yes, getting proper sword training is tied to the story (mission four?), and until you get it, you fight just like a naive farm kid with zero skills and a target on their back -- everything is a life-and-death struggle and it's far better to avoid conflict entirely. Although some bandits do show up in the woods and such, many ambush sites are on the road, and if you're hoofing it, that may not be ideal. IIRC, hard saving in this game requires Saviour Schnapps items that you can find or brew yourself. However, you can make autosaves when you rest in houses, unowned bedrolls, etc. There are a TON of these in the game, often on the edge of woodlands or something, and 99% remain unowned (usable) the whole campaign. Learn a few locations and the game is far easier. Buy inn rooms when you can -- they cost 200 coins or something and act as permanent residences in certain cities. The difference between these and random bedrolls is that inn rooms come with a free stash chest, shared between all rooms, for the loot you want to save. One way to get a lot of good armor, weapons, items (Schnapps, jerky, etc.) is to find fixed battlesites, wait for one party to clobber the other, then loot the corpses that remain. There are many in the world, but for speed's sake, make sure you have a mount to get you between sites and the nearest towns. The amount you sell to vendors increases their maximum gold, if memory serves, so your favorite loot buyer can buy even more in the future. If you plan on doing all quests, DLC, and so on, then you'll need a bunch of gold at some point. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:972928134] in Giving Kin...

Shotgunnova 04/18/23 7:50:38 PM #12:	The story might be kind of simple, but the setting, characters and writing do have a lot of charm. Once you've a grasp of the game's mechanics and can enjoy exploration for its own sake, definitely just roam around and have fun. Despite the game's occasional jankiness and other annoyances (the game definitely isn't optimized well, so it can take forever to load into saves), the quests are often very fun -- and that goes for the DLC, too. You'll certainly get addicted to farkle at some point, haha. By the way, lockpicking in this game has been a big annoyance for many people. I recommend turning on the game option for simplified lockpicking and considering one of the analog sticks you turn (I think it's the right one) like a safe dial. As you move the left stick, hold the right between two fingers for precision maneuvering. Once you learn how to open chests like that, you'll rarely break any picks and the rest of the game'll be much easier. There are a few times in the game that can require burgling, so might as well get good at it. (You'll soon meet someone who can teach you about this a little more properly and can act as a fence for your ill-gotten gains.) --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:972929428] in Giving Kin...

Compsognathus 04/18/23 7:59:36 PM #16:	As others have mentioned actually training to get good at fighting is very important. If you try to just rough it without training you will die to basically anyone who isn't a common beggar. You'll notice that when you are training that you do get beat up and healing is slow. Ask Bernard to show you how to do the fancy sword moves and it will auto-refill your health. Chumps I'm Leshenko (sp?) is good for money and archery training. Flower gathering is excellent for early game money, leveling, and strength. Alchemy is extremely strong once you can do it. You'll be rolling in dough while also appreciating their variety of effects. This isn't the kinda RPG where you can be like "I'm gonna be a lightly armored, agile Rouge". I mean you can be. And doing so will make you good at sneaking and assassination and what not. But if you are gonna be in combat, you want heavy armor. It is just better. --- Gheb is my other account <cite>Compsognathus posted [p:972929582] in Giving Kin...

Shotgunnova 04/18/23 8:54:36 PM #19:	Speaking of things you should put in saddlebags, find a shovel for when you encounter treasure map sites, graves, etc. You won't be able to dig up that stuff otherwise. The plot eventually gives you a free (mediocre) horse, but I forget if it comes with saddlebags of its own. Might be mixing up some horse knowledge with Witcher 3, haha. BTW, you'll have ample opportunity to steal horses for free instead of buying them. However, I believe stolen horses have some kind of major downside (they don't come when you whistle, maybe?), so if you really want the good ones, you should shell out for one. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame <cite>Shotgunnova posted [p:972930628] in Giving Kin...
