How much is the game in Poland on GoG?

51.60 EUR if converted back from PLN.

It is different potion mate. It depends what the potion is actually. You get it from random alchemy mixture. Sometimes could be poison,most times it is useless,look at it as tea.

Well, the stuff that bandits have seems to be totally useless.

What version is GOG patched to, 1.3? Anyone know where WH posts patch notes and releases? I didn't see anything obvious on their forums.

No, the current GOG version is "1.2.5 G", obviously the same as the steam 1.2.5 The 1.3 patch hasn't been released yet. Preparing for another 20 gigs download...

Don't bother with looting much,just level up your lockpicking to 15-16 and loot the money from the stores,in a few days you will be the richest guy and will be able to buy all the gear you need. Also loot low weight high price clothings. A few days thieving in Rattay will make you a fortress. It was amusing when i had to go on a hunt with Hans and had 10,000 in equipment on me and the best stallion.

given how easy, cheap and lucrative it is to brew real potions, it's not worth bothering with the unknowns. some bandit leaders have decent gear, though, but I assume you're only talking about the questionable potions.

Really considering stopping my game here--right after Runt--and playing through again from beginning, or at least from the post prologue beginning, without grabbing the ancient treasure caches or doing much stealing. I feel like I minimized my exposure to the best part of KCD's progression, where you're halfway competent stat-wise but still have mediocre gear, by following the damned preorder treasure maps near Neuhof and Uzhitz as soon as I went to both places, instantly making myself rich and getting the best breastplate in the game AFAIK + lots of other high level gear far too early in the story. Took away too much challenge and also removed much of the joy in finding new armor.

***

I have some ideas for balancing the economy. I know repairs were supposed to make high-end armor maintenance prohibitively expensive at lower levels, but it's too easy to raise your repair skill at the grindstone, making repairs trivial so long as you keep some repair kits on your horse. also, once you have top notch gear, it's not too hard to support yourself by killing and looting bandit camps. So I would recommend some kind of upkeep mechanic. if you want to go around dressed as a man-at-arms with an expensive horse and expensive weapons, you should need to hire on a household--a page, a groom, etc... They should be expensive; without them your horse stats decline, your armor suffers penalties, and your reputation drops. This would create more incentive to make money at higher power levels. Even stupid bethesda style money sinks like a house/estate. perhaps the opportunity to invest in business ventures/existing merchants for various insignificant bonuses.

The other thing: not only should master strikes be gated--you should get no training until level 10 in a weapon skill or just lvl 10 overall--but you should also have to pay Bernard a small fortune to learn them. helps avoid breaking the economy.

Some basic fiddling with prices could help a lot, too: top tier armor should be way more expensive, like 2-4 times as pricey depending on how good it is. Also, maybe all non one-size-fits-all armor should have a 20% defensive malus and some _% speed malus until it's fitted by an armorer, also for lots of $$$. This stuff shouldn't be too hard for Warhorse to add or someone else to mod.

I'm sure there are tons of other potential money sinks. Maybe cosmetic stuff? I wouldn't mind paying up for horse armor with in-game currency.

***

Much harder idea but could be really cool: paid companion/hireling to watch your back or just provide non-irritating color commentary. I know they'd have to fuck with the AI big-time, although the fairly small scale encounters tend to play ok--merchants vs bandits for example. They'd also have to do some real rebalancing to make enemy attacks from outside your field of view much more damaging to give you an incentive to use the hireling; probably introduce more enemies, too. Maybe too ambitious since the whole system seems designed for dueling and I have no idea how hard it would be to implement more Alexander Dumas style combat with a little teamwork. Still, I think it's a nice dream.

***

I really, really, really want STR/AGL to be nerfed in terms of weapon damage--enemies in full harness should not be one-shottable or two-shottable unless you get a super lucky thrust through the eye-slit. Headcracker needs to be nerfed, too; much lower chance of knockout, maybe 5-10% chance of knocking them over.

Anyone specialize in agility based swords? Are combos any easier to execute with them?

I always avoid pre-order bonus things like the plague. They usually mess up the balance of the game.

How much is the game in Polant on GoG?

Bardzo malo rozumiem po Polsku :D But I've had a Polish gf too, some 12 years ago.

I had a crush on a Polish exchange student when I was in High School. I could never get her to say a word though. I'd talk her ear off and wouldn't even get eye contact.

No need to put that much effort into it. The combat in KCD is actually so amazing that you can win every fight by just mashing the right mouse button.

This must be in the beta,because after you defeat him you get a cutscene. At least try to play the game before posting pointless shit. You can solo dragons in BG2,doesn't make it shit game.

PS:Yeah,the battle is very easy once you get all the good gear and do all the side quest.

The game doesn't have much of a balance anyway,you train and the enemy die once they see you. I never found any bonus things.

Fuck off faggot. I got the same bug in 1.2.

On the Robber Baron quest:

Spoiler

I challenge him to a duel, but when I win all the bandits there attack me and I have no chance against like ten of them, including archers from the distance. Is it a bug or are they supposed to attack you, after you defeat their leader? Because when talking with him he said that his men won't attack you if you win.

If it is a bug,maybe beating him with hand to hand will do the job. Most likely the cutscene is supposed start once he is on very low health or something like that.

For me that camouflage didn't work and just had to kill them all. You can always run and call your hoarse.

 

[DragoFireheart]

So I have a question:

A bandit scum ambushes me. I beat him up a bit and then he gives up and runs away.

Is it more honorable to allow him to flee or to chase and kill him to prevent him from attacking other innocents in an ambush?

Apply mace to head. Always.

Mace is the best weapon.

Discuss.

Who gives a fuck, everything dies in one hit eventually no matter what weapon you have.

Version 1.2.5. You can see it in the video that you didn't watch, nigga.

The cutscene should load every time, but you know, bugs. The game just can't handle a player that breaks combat by mashing RMB I guess.

 

[unfairlight]

Discuss.

Mace is definitely most satisfying to use but I feel that the way how the game talks about how good it penetrates armor is bullshit, it doesn't feel as if it penetrates armor any better than a sword.

 

[StrongBelwas]

How much does each particular weapon skill actually matter in the combat equation compared to Warfare or Strength? I started using a mace and it honestly doesn't feel that much weaker then Sword despite having a 12 in Sword and a 1 in Mace.

 

[unfairlight]

It allows you to learn combos. Combos are of course worthless.

You don't even have to go that far. Just spam arrows into their face, or sneak up behind them for a instant kill.

This cringey meme about combat combo's that these pollcucks are trying to shill on and on about.

Jeez how do you even beat that guy? He counters 80% of my hits and blocks the rest, interrupts all combos, master strokes takes off %30 of my health, counters my counters, and survives dozens of hits. He can stop any combo and just attack through it, I can't attack through his swings or do anything but block. All I can do is occasionally poke him but it seems to do nothing. Do enemies even have stamina meters?
