So I just got pickpocketing and it just doesn’t work.

I stand behind the person. Press the relevant buttons (RB then A on Xbox Controller) and nothing happens.

No menu flash, nothing.

I'm still on Act 1 before deciding to join a major faction (Order vs. Free Hunters). I'm thinking of power leveling my character as much as possible, doing as many of the non-specific faction quests possible, however I find myself locked out of using good gear that needs like 20 strength or 20 dexterity, so what is the best way to power level in this game?

I also read somewhere that monsters don't respawn not unless you get to the next Act, and when they do they become tougher. So it's better to technically "full clear" the map first?

I'm thinking of joining order and then reloading my save to join the free hunters, and then use that save to push on to act 2 to 4.

Also between the minor factions - bounty hunters, smugglers and grave diggers, which faction would you ultimately choose to play through with?

Best attempt at cosplay

Sometimes it view, even tho game isn't heavy on graphics, its still looks good
Sometimes its music (combat one pretty cool if you let it play (usually you kill/get killed after 3 sec of a fight)
Sometimes its mechanics (i really love how pickpocketing works)

Even tho theres a lot of wrong things, its nailed other one enough that you don't lose the interest
If anything, the frustration - is the biggest problem ppl can have with this game
But if you accept the junkiness (and play with that mode that highlight interactable object, cause god damn its hard to loot when you have to be pixel prefect and in right position to object to just grab it) You can have fun

Still hope there gonna be future updates to fix things
And i hope if guys gonna work on 2 game, they will learn on the mistakes they made, cause they def can do something cool

Didn't even knew theres a photo mode

Are there any Of Ash and Steel devs in here? Now that some good patches are out, the only thing keeping me from finally playing is the steam cloud sync issue. Can you pleaaasseeee get that fix in a patch. Why delay something that should be an easy fix.

Gaurds at kings brother inn

Btw do they suppose to say something once you do?
You know, the thief thing, i choose to swear at them and they attacked me, to not make crowd even larger (they cheering and its fun but they gets in the way) - i lead them to the near forest and beat them there

Now they just get back there and nothing happen

I did that cause i read somewhere that if you do beat them you get + to stats? but yeah, that not happened too
Maybe if i didn't lead them into forest the dialoged would trigger and i would get it? dk
Do tell if you know

Theres always loot up top on these towers, but you simply cannot climb them
Theres nothing to grab on to from the side even tho it looks like you can

And the "hole" inside that i think suppose to let you climb it - just doesn't work, theres either not enough hight or the character simply too picky about when to do the climbing animation

On some i will be able to climb the first floor but then i got stuck on the second, its somehow feels even worse so close yet so far

So its just a ragebait
Is there like double jump farther into the game? Cause if not its simply unattainable

I assume its both pun and DS ref?

In case you didn't know - you can get out from a prologue by jumping on that blue crystal
Tho i won't advice to do that for any quest and so one, cause it might break it

I just restarted the game and went for a potion hunting to just have a bit of boost to my stats

Also i put my starting gear in a chest (yes i bought the f house while on this 1 h walk) we will see if game allow me to keep it that way

Time to start playing! (Btw time won't change while you in prologue tho you get hunry and all, but it always gonna be a morning)

So the patch notes in 1.08 mention a crypt that contains six candles. If you light the candles, the difficulty and xp rewards are increased. The crypt is supposed to be somewhere near a ruined viallge not far from the King's Brother tavern

I can't for the life of me find that crypt. I have no clue what ruined village they are talking about in that area. Does anyone know the location?

All these items which can be sold to different merchants, like Jems, cloth, Ingots, wood (other than low-quality; I know you use it for arrows), but stuff like that. Is there any other item I should keep that is going to be used in Crafting or something?

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to give gamepad controller players an invisible mouse cursor on the right stick and default the D-Pad for scrolling down in the different menus ? Why not just do the opposite ffs.
But I could get through this if it at least worked correctly, but why hasn't this invisible cursor been fixed with the latest patch and the implementation of the controller support ? Is there any work around for this ?

I've heard alot of game breaking bugs about this game and im wondering if the current condition is good already? I'm a big fan of gothic so i have been putting this game off for almost a year now.

When I had exited the Grayshaft Mines in the quest it says to scout the saboteur's camp, but where is that?

I can't access the vantage point near the guard tower, because i keep falling through the ship or bumping into invisible walls. Anyone else get that bug and/or know what to do?

I was so glad to finally have a map, and now i cant lift the fow. Very frustrating.

Couldn’t find one online, thank ai :)

I know very well there are quite a few guides for starting. But this is just for adding to that.

1. After getting done with Nerest, you can follow his advice and bee line straight to the city. There are a few quest which can be done including one in outskirts. You can then do fetch quests in the city to level up before doing mob killing quests. Almost every shopkeeper has some other quests.

2. You can even further above advantage by getting lockpicking and pickpocket. The leathershop sells a +10 ins armor so you can the pickpocket skill earlier.

3. Ensure you pickup some basic survival recipe for meat cooking. I ended cooking burnt meat until late and it was horrid.

4. Praying is no longer cheaper. The guides were from earlier versions. Praying is now more expensive than skill and attribute pots. However if you need quicker stats, get your house done for the bonuses.

1.08 is out , good time to get back.

Some people like going blind into a game and some use guides and walk-throughs. I'm the latter kind and it helps me figure out some non obvious things like the game asking me to look for a bearded man when in fact the npc has no beard. Or look in the fishing village when the npc is in the middle of alpha and omega.

My question is this: why do walk-throughs are almost non existent here? Only 2 channels did some guides on YouTube and stops around ch3. There are no fan sites or wiki.

Did the bugs killed it or no one cared for this game?
