Encounters while sleeping and waiting

It would be awesome if this game could have some odds of having an encouter while sleeping and waiting. It would bring a dynamic where the player have to bring followers and organize garding shift turns while its the time to sleep in a camp, even in and inn, there could be some bandits trying to cut your throat while you sleep, and you should have a skill named ‘’ awareness’’ to get up just before you got killed.

As in you have random chance that you’ll die during the night? Nah, that souds terrible. As for the rest of what you’re talking about, go play expeditions conquistador. I don’t think Kingdom Come would exactly be a game for that to work very well.

And it is not so very realistic

You roll the dice and … Fumble! The enemy army pass by your camp and take you prisoner.

If encounters at night while sleeping, it shouldn’t be random but with a purpose, origin and avoidable if the location is scouted before hands. Like: don’t go near this group of thugs, it’s a very bad idea to sleep right next their camp.

Sounds like Dungeons & Dragons :smiley:

I don’t much like the idea of ‘random’ attacks by bandits or dire wolves or whatever. As Xrogaan says, if you’re attacked while sleeping at night, it should make sense within the storyline.

Since I’ll be playing the stealthy thief, I’ll be the one sneaking up on sleeping people so that won’t be an issue for me, hehehe :stuck_out_tongue:

I dont like this Idea eather. Its not that realistic, medieval times were hard but not like that.
These bandits would only attack if you’re not protected and they have the chance to steal something of high value.

I’d turn the tables and propose to have a quest or so where you have to protect a village from bandits by killing them or chase them away. But thats probably in planning anyway

i think you must sleep places like own camp, tavern, home… not a street

yeah, likely if you can’t find an inn or back home, you will just have to stay awake.

although, they could make it so you can camp out if you brought a horse(it carries your camping gear), then when you are set upon by bandits in random event, the horse alerts you with its neighing. if you don’t have a horse or chose to walk, you can bring along a dog(it carries your camping gear) and alerts you with its barking

you are recommended to go to sleep with gambeson and plate legs, or full plate if preferred so you are ready for half naked bandits

i think in forest you can build your own bed or camp with your npc? friends…? or near road… its living world so why you cant do things like these…

take wood to make fire and so on…

It would be good if you can set up a camp and make fire but its not confirmed yet I think

Okay, this is a very loose association, and I do not want to make connections where there are none, but judging from the dog companion stretch goal, I’d say that danger while you sleep could be a real possibility. The following comes from update #17 from the Kickstarter campaign:

We thought about it a lot and we all agreed that we would love to have dog in the game as a companion. Best friend who will follow you everywhere, help you in combat, warn you from danger when you sleep or go hunting with you. If we reach this goal, there will be dogs in the game and you will be able to own one.

Based on this, I’d say that we could possibly see some form of interruption to your sleeping routine. There is no telling how WH might implement such a thing, or even if this is what they had in mind when discussing the dog companion stretch goal. Also, please don’t crucify developers for off-hand ideas that turn out to be detrimental to either the overall vision, or the deadline. This could have just been something that was just thrown on the white board, but that when it came to planning just seemed to be too complex, immersion breaking, or labor intensive to actually devote time/resources to (see also land ownership, house building, family management, offspring rearing, castle lordship, indentured servitude, moors, and Kinect gestures :))

maybe can build in the woods some wooden fences and a farm house and then a small castle, that way all those that want to be castle lord will be happy :smiley:m,/
