Okay, got a mega bug. FUCK THIS GAME.
Cannot save my game at all.
All saves are corrupted. Load and save doesn't work.
So I can play iron man except I can't exit the game.
Fuck this game.
This seems like a multi-platform issue that hits PC as well.
what quest?
I've run into several progress halting bugs on main quests as well but there were usually workarounds on slightly earlier saves (do ___ sooner, don't leave area when ___ happens, fast travel away and back, ) that sort of thing
No specific quest.
I figured shit out just now after 2 days of Ironman play. I had left an archery contest without finishing it. This blocked saving without showing up anywhere.
Went back, started a new contest, voila saves work.
Now 98% of people would have restarted or worse.
I fondly remember a glitch in rattay where the highest stakes archery contest robs you of your winnings because one guy competing next to you fails to shoot any arrows. The game forces you and everyone else to remain lined up in front of the targets staring blankly into the middle distance or you foreit your win by walking away
That would fuck up your save games...
Kind of surprised there hasn't been any patches yet for this.
These vids are great.. do you guys agree with his assessment?
Gonna pick this game up in a few months when it goes on sale and a lot of the bugs are patched.
The way Mack talks about it though it's a brilliant game, "groundbreaking" in fact.
LOCKPICKING
PERKS
About side quests fucking up rep: i think you may have encountered some bugs. I've killed people, hid their bodies, and had no impact on my reputation. I believe the way it worked for me is the intended function.My advice to all players on xbox one
We were dealt a shittier hand than pc players but we still have our ways
Lockpicking is easier once you learn the circle inside your RS moving around gets biggest at the sweet spot. The game doesn't emphasize this and instead tells you to listen for clicks because f*ck you for lockpicking stuff
As you circle the RS around to match the LS turning the lock you can tell whether the RS sweet spot is inner/outer ring, so at that point you just keep the RS circling at that set distance from center
So long as you slowly rotate LS from top position (north) counterclockwise and your RS rotates close to where you found it, easy and very easy picks will unlock all the stats you need in game for harder stuff (easy lockpicks are most common anyway)
Also worth noting, not all games punish players for "looking" in stuff like pickpocketing and attempting doors but Kingdom Come will treat any attempt to try anything as a crime, which can sometimes extend to peeking inside dead body inventories so be discreet when you loot anything/anyone that isn't a bandit or cuman. I've even seen Cuman inventories glitch to "steal" options rather than "take" which is non-punishable, so watch out. I've been the passive spectator of fights and crimes only to lose serious rep in towns for looking in a dead guy's pockets in the aftermath
Which brings me to
Don't fucking get the "Local Hero" perk
Don't fucking do it
It made my life miserable
It has no redeeming qualities
Don't you think about doing it
(+1 stats bonus in towns with high reputation, becomes harder to raise reputation)
There is another perk "Infamous" at level 10
(where you gain +1 bonus in towns with low rep, but lower rep is harder to get)
Which has no downsides anywhere ever. Having low rep in towns means you have to pay people hundreds of dollars per talking to them once
You don't need a +1 in stats anywhere, you need traders to fucking talk to you for free
and completing main quest objectives, side quests will absolutely fuck your reputation up if you don't figure out the non-violent approach to everything ever
I like it better than Skyrim. I also don't like Skyrim as much as most, though.No way is it better than Fallout, Skyrim, let alone Witcher 3.
It’s Fallout 3 tech level.

I understand. I hit a bug where using a grinding wheel in sasau counted as theft for some reason and my rep went in the shitter with them. It made using the city completely unbearable for like 5 hours of being forced to do shit in that town until I got far enough in the main story to improve my rep with them. I would have just reloaded a previous save but I didn't realize what had happened until quite a while later.It was entirely the Local Hero perk
I grabbed it extremely early on convinced it would come in handy in Rattay where my rep was Fabulous and I did most of my trading
Towards the second half of the game though most of the quest objectives shift far north on the map, and it becomes a 6-8 hour fast travel just to get back south, which meant I had to start using Sasau and Ledetchko heavily
Since rep falls faster with the local hero perk I burned all my Sasau goodwill by killing the German knight you form an uneasy truce with. I fixed that reputation eventually only to lose it all over again by killing a wayfarer/trader on the road
I can't stress enough how much the Local Hero perk made my playthrough 5x harder
Everyone get infamous
It is the only whey
