Man, awesome video as usual. Crime is just too broken in KCD and tbh, even just looting is too, since at any point you can just go to Skalitz and get end game armor. Anyway, so that brings me to a play style I am trying rn, tho I am not far with it. I call it "Skin-walker", the idea is that you can only wear looted armor. The catch is, you have to wear everything that a given enemy had on you along with his weapon. You can´t just take helmet for example, it´s all or nothing. And another catch, you have to change after every fight. If you fight a group, you have to pick one. So if you have great gear and kill a peasant, you have to downgrade yourself. Inspiration: Sai´s picturebook in Naruto.

I’m glad you were able to take out the Cuman camp on your own terms, but I think that having as few soldiers as possible was the less honorable thing to do anyway. It’s true that you were putting less lives at risk, but you were putting those lives at greater risk. If the goal was being honorable, I think it would’ve made more sense to have the numbers be as equal as possible to give each individual soldier the best odds of survival.

Nice. I'm doing my no money run right now on normal mode. It's certainly a different experience. I've been saving mission rewarded money (has to be given to me, nothing taken) for the rebuild of pribyslavitz. I haven't done all the possible side missions but most of them (my main mission is ready for vranik) and it was barely enough to get the tavern built which is the point where the town becomes profitable. So if you spend your coin on needless luxurious like the ability to read or a place to sleep you may not be able to finish From the Ashes.

It's a little easier with open face helmets. You don't run out of stamina quite so quickly but it makes you a little more vulnerable to stabs to the face

There is a way to get past the monestary without pickpocketing, because I did a very similar run to this myself a few years ago. If you climb the scaffolding you can get onto the roof of the monestary and kill Pious with an arrow. You don't even need to loot the dice, simply return to the bandits and they will be aware that one of the novices was killed and you can advance the quest. Whether this would be valid for your run or not is debatable. On the one hand, it involves killing an NPC that did not directly initiate combat with you. On the other hand, Pious is a murderer and even if you take the "peaceful" route you will send him to the gallows anyway, so you still technically end up causing his death. Other than that, nice video. It would have been good to add another couple of rules to it. 1) No training with Bernard other than when the games forces you to + once more for each weapon to unlock master strikes. 2) No cheesing Chumps on the river, only play it once to get the one-time archery training he gives you if you beat the record score.

hey there, i played this game for about 1500 hours, about the cumans at skallitz (before getting shot in the leg), you can grab your horse, when you whistle at that point for a horse, you "own" a horse, so it's not stealing, you even have the ability to loot it or put items in it's saddle, which means it's not a stolen horse, and use it to ram them off. i've beaten that first cuman like once or twice fairly out of dozens atmepts, even than, it required luck, and potion afterwards. an other method of killing the cumans there, which nowadays i kill like 20 cumans at that point, is by running into them using the horse. the problem with black peter: before womans lot dlc (i believe it was patch 1.9.2) battle mechanics were very very good, after patch 1.9.3, they added bugs and new mechanics which makes peter a problem. the bug is that when the npc tries to do the combo blunt strike with a short weapon, we can't master strike the stab.(the first hit) surprise surprise, it becomes a problem with a poisond short sword.... also, black peter from time to time glitches and becomes immune to melee weapons dmg. which sucks, i showed on stream how i fight him for 30 minutes the main problem with how you fight black peter is that you use slashes with the sword you have, the answer is face stab. he has an open helmet, just stab and pull the cursor up while you're at it after a master strike, it will crush him.

Not to blow up your comments section, but... For the monastery - if you think it's more honorable you can skip getting the letter and instead break in and kill pious. I don't think you'd be able to fight him (you could try) so likely it'd be a stab in his sleep. Not 100% honorable but you'd at least be killing a criminal instead of stealing from an innocent and pretending to be someone you're not. Radzig has no authority within the monastery itself so it's almost a loophole?

So in a bit of a behind the scenes moment, I tried that. I didn't have enough lockpicking to break in anywhere so I went to the top of the scaffolding and jumped in.

That's when I decided to bow kill and run. Everyone woke and guards came but they settled in after a few moments and lowered their aggression. I was able to run back up to get the dice. One guard was complaining about the undertaker talking too long while I looted the dice and bolted. That was with 17vis/20cons though. In your shoes you might be able to get up to get the dice while they are yelling at you about trespassing . You may escape but I'm sure your rep would've suffered.

It was more of a "by comparison" thing up to that point. Given we only had a gambeson and shitty sword in the open world, getting chainmail and plate armor to compete made it much easier.

They are pretty common to this day. When they game first came out I'd say it was every couple hours you could experience a crash or a game breaking bug (getting stuck on stairs, falling through the map, quests not activating allowing progression, etc). They are much rarer these days but in each of my playthroughs (roughly 30-50 hours each) I experience about 3-4 throughout. In my no healing challenge run I livestreamed I had maybe 5. Game crashed, Hans wouldn't shoot his bow in the contest, loading screen got stuck, competed in a tournament and the opponent became immortal (seriously hit him with like 30 master strikes and he didn't die). It's annoying and most are quite funny tbh so I try to showcase some of the better ones in my edited VOD videos
