Using video calls in their suits without the mask on. Using real names within earshot of someone. Displaying spider suits within the view of the window that is in full view to the public. Using webs for casual tasks in full display of that same window.....

At least close the curtain man. Use callsigns. Don't video call when wearing the suit without the face mask on.

And don't let me get started on how many people would have recognised them through just knowing their voice, hobbies or very specific details they share about themselves. Miles literally reveals his late dad music taste to a guy that might literally have known his dad.

I know I should not expect depth in these games, but even with low expectations, it is just too much in my face to ignore.

I am playing the game for the first time, and while I have a few criticisms, it doesn't hit far off the 2 other games in terms of enjoyment, when it comes to movement and combat.

But this bothers me imensely. Why didn't they add repeatable/pausable/continuous broadcasts. It is not like they don't have the means, they do it for the story relevant dialogues. Why would you ever make a broadcast stop for every city encounter, and then not repeat it. It was a common cticism for the last 2 games as well.

It is just incredibly annoying having to wait for a broadcast to finish because you know it will go away if you do anything in the game. When your game features a mechanic where you have to stop playing the game, you know you went wrong somewhere in its development.

In my 2 previous playthroughs I went through their shenanigans through the end, mainly because I wanted that +20 for Pribyslavitz, but in my hardcore playthrough is where it stops.

I make your debt go away, I find you a job, I help you get better treatment at your job, I raid Cuman camps to make "real" Cuman disguises for you, and what do I get in return?

You planning to raid and steal pay that is going to the quarry that is providing stone to the town I am the baillif of, killing civilians, poisoning horses and, what is more funny, is that you expect me to do most of the work. What is next? Going to raid, rape and pillage Ledetchko in those Cuman outfits?

Zbyshek might quite literally be a better person than you two, and that is saying something. And it is very much fitting that you end up just like him.

Stumbling into a murder mystery while pretending to hunt for poachers is great. Trying to prove someone's innocence is great as well.

You know what is not great? Killing 4/5 guards doing their job because the game does not let you resolve a situation in another peaceful way. Not only the guards being there was completely unnecessary and, honestly, nonsenical, but the fact that Henry does not have the option to reason with is a huge oversight.

Proving someone's innocence doesn't feel great when you have to kill innocents to do it.

This story starts with a bug that made me reload a save before the first tourney which I originally lost, because Henry is still a noob. Except this time, very much unfortunately, I have won the whole thing.

Why unfortunately? Because I forgot that it made a certain Black Peter shaped roadblock appear right beside the mill. And as I am roleplaying a little bit, it is a roadblock I need to clear to progress...Except, it is easier said than done.

It is 6 am(4am), my Henry has Shard, a bludgeon and Capon's bow to his name and I am getting absolutely destroyed. I don't have the antidote, since I forgot to start the quest, and I cannot get one since I technically have no knowledge of the poison. I cannot stealth kill the guy, since I don't know he is actually hostile at that point. I could try to run away, but why would I when I just beat that guy in the tourney.

So I am stuck in a loop of waking up, getting 10 masterstrikes in, getting poked through my perfect block, die and repeat. Pls help.

Edit: Also, fun little fact. The Rattay guards will not help you if you bring Black peter all the way to them. They will just tell you to put your weapon away.

Finally! Fucker is down after 30+ attempts over 2 days. Bludgeon to the head, and waiting out the Nightmare debuffs helped.

Or rather, did the developers implement anything that would reward remaining loyal to one faction? Or should I just treat that aspect of the game as an empty shell for farming exp and resources?

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but I just wanted to confirm.
