With that said, the lady Stephanie thing IS a fucking fetch quest and its ending is shitty railroading. If you try a shirt you end up boning some old hag, no choice given. I was merely thinking about selling the shirt for some early game cash, but then the game went full Brazzers with its plot and I was like "WTF...?! Stop! I don't wanna cuck the guy who saved me in the prologue!".
In fairness, how did you not see that coming? Coming and visiting you in your room, talking about how old her husband is and how lonely she is. Probably best to avoid an obviously hungry old cougar like that.
I got mobbed by 3 bandits at once while trying to capture some nightingales in the forest and hunting some hares, I fought for awhile but they were kicking my ass and I had to run away. This was at level 7 and I had pretty shit gear with little sword training. I didn't want to abuse some faulty AI routine by backpedaling and glitching terrain to abuse bows - instead I played Henry's role - he was overwhelmed by bandits, without much experience and ill equipped, so he had to run. I also didn't rob the Rattay armoury because they took me in and it wouldn't be decent - the Bailiff provided me with some initial gear and I'm using that until I can find something better legitimately or afford my own better armour and weapons. I just now bought a better longsword with all my money which I hope will prove useful next time I fight those same bandits.
Why does everything have to be a powergaming shitfest to some people? You know, you can always replay Skyrim for the 125th time and feel awesome killing dragons at level 1.

That's the very definition of Larping, you are practically gimping yourself for the sake of immersion which is understandable but that doesn't make the games AI less shit. And that logic could be applied to every game out there, but this game has massive problems with throwing you a lot shiny things very early in the game that could be used without much negative returns, it's clear that they didn't really thought this game through.
Why are bulgarians so fucking retarded? I understand that you were heavily breeded mutts between Turks and heavenly know what other creatures, but there shouldn't be an excuse to act like that in this day and age. Is that distant gene of fucking goats trying to get out and you can't contain it?
You do know that the Bulgarians have around 600k turks descendants( probably around a mil) and around 400k gypsies of their own, that comes from a small country of 7 milions, which makes them complete mutts in my eyes. All Eastern European countries have their own population of gypsies, half a mil in Romania included from a population of 20 mils, which is still a big problem.
Then what are you doing in our northern neighbour? It is clear that we are more tolerable toward your kind. Also most of those are not kebab but pomaks(muslim Bulgarians). You mate bring shame to the Balkan brotherhood. It makes me really sad when i see a Balkan sjw.
So had a patch to download today before I started playing. After that my performance took around 10 FPS hit and now during night times the light is flickering all around like it tries to induce some sort of seizure. Anyone else had this?

I disagree. I'm using all the systems the game has provided me transparently so far, to the best of my ability and in the interest of playing the game in the role of Henry (this is a role playing game, after all, isn't it?). It's not a question of "getting gud" either. Larping would be, for example, limiting yourself to only resting at inns in towns in Baldur's Gate (i.e. consciously and willingly not using an integral part of the game system - free resting - as some sort of self-imposed challenge); not fast travelling in Bethesda games; and other similar things.
I'm not saying that the game's AI is great or anything of the sort - evidently, the routines are flawed and enemies need to be more aggressive towards bow users, and assorted other problems; but I'm also not going out of my way to break shit (although that effort is in itself laudable as it leads to developers fixing stuff) and trying to proselytize about how terrible the game is after these flaws are demonstrated in videos where you are grossly overpowered, take no damage and use no stamina.

I can cheese thru my workout routine too and get in a car and drive my jogging route and use a forklift to do my squats for me but I find it is actually more enjoyable to do the real honest work myself instead of cheating.
Just because you CAN exploit an open ended game's systems doesn't mean you SHOULD. What are you really gaining by doing so? You're just making an ass out of yourself around here. I'm failing to see the point.

I just called you a goat fucker, how does that make me a Balkan sjw? Dude you have a lot of turkish descendats in your country beside those pomaks, you need that understand that some of them are even direct descendants from the Cuman tribes that are represented in these games as barbaric goat fuckers, isn't that beautiful ?

It's a little weird, generally the English diminutive of Henry at the time would be "Harry". I've only ever heard Hal used for Henry in Shakespeare, otherwise it's normally for Harold.
I got to a point where I'm thinking of stopping...at least for now. And not because of bugs, but because the game became pretty...boring? I'm at the
"Infiltrate the monastery to kill some dude for the bandits you're infiltrating"
part of the main quest and DAMN I can barely remember the last time I had to actually engage in a serious fight with ANYONE. Bandit termination quests are all done and every single quest in my log isn't really about combat so I'm just walking around trying to find stuff to do. I'm not getting any more random encounters in my travels (bug?) and I'd rather "poach" some Cumans, but they're nowhere to be found.
Also, I'm seeing a lot of guards patrolling the streets in their underwear, especially in Talmberg.
I have a screenshot of the German Knight entering Skalitz mines in his undies, p. hilarious but I have to get home to post it.
Anyway...u guys found out where to continue the Fist Fight activity? After Rattay it just say "More fights" but the only place I managed to fight was during the MQ in
>acquired a perk called Burgher which gives bonus stats in civilised areas
>went to skalitz which was razed months ago so there's no inhabitants left
>"YOU ACTIVATED THE PERK BURGHER"
I don't think this is intended.

Woah, I was just about to say the exact same thing. The game is getting so boring by now, and the quest seems pretty broken too since the guy holding Karl's money has disappeared and there's no quest marker for him, I can sneak in via the rooftop and rob someone else for the robes but that means more boring shit. I'm done for today, kinda losing my patience since half this shit is just boring busywork with some dialogue inbetween. All this combat is easy too since I have a top tier sword, 5k gold, 10k in liquid assets in my chest and plate armor. A lot of dragonul09 's points are starting to make sense now.
steam is about “2 hours then i refound”
in 2 hours you don’t even exit the tutorial so the bug part of negative review is something like “not even 60fps at 4k with a 1080ti refounded”

Well, kinda. But I thought I would be able to swindle her off some more free stuff. Like "my lady, this shirt is awesome. Would you happen to have some jewlery you don't want anymore? Maybe a set of full plate armor?". I wanted some Groshen, not her wrinkly vagina. But Brazzers: Bohemia Edition had a different script, apparently.
