Killing or Fighting Poacher have negative consequences on REP or Crime stat "killed civilians"?

Dear Kingdome Come Players,

I have a question about encountering Poachers in the game.
I have been playing Kingdome Come for a while now and encountered a couple of Poachers here and there during my adventures. Everytime but once when I encounter a Poacher he will always gey angry at me. He will begin to say that I need to sodd of / get out of here and if I dont he will eventually become hostile and start attacking me.

When this happens I ofcourse defend my self. A couple of times I noticed when fighting a Poacher that a window pops up telling me about my reputation getting damaged. If this doesnt happen and I kill the poacher I notice that when I want to pick up his bow or sword it says STEAL instead of pick up. Also when killing the Poacher you get one extra Civilian killed under your Crime Statistics.

What is this all about? Is this a bug ? or a normal part of the game? I mean I get it that when I attack a Poacher when hes not aggeressive towards me that I am doing something which is not right. I also get when I kill a Poacher when hes not hostile to me I kill a Civilian. But I never do that… I always only fight a Poacher when he begins to fight me, sometimes I even let hem hit me and still after knocking him out or killing him I get a rep damage or an extra point for killing a Civilian.

In could not understand why I had a couple of points under my Crime Killed a Cilivian statistic but now I know where this came from.

Awaiting your responses,

Bump??? Anyone???

I have this too. I just deal with them anyway and deal with the rep hit.

I get the alert about reputation being damaged during some of those group battles you get on the road between guards and bandits/cumans. Sometimes after the guards think the battle is over and are walking off, I spot a cuman further on down the road, go and deal with them, and I get the rep damage warning. Presumably the guards have forgotten they were just in a battle with this cuman’s buddies (and that the cumans are the enemy) and that I am therefore a threat!

Had a Cuman return after running away. The guards didn’t take notice. I did and promptly retired the Cuman. The guards were on me for murder… for a guy whose squad just killed some of their compatriots :dizzy_face:

Hope this gets tweaked. And back to original post… as soon as the game enables ‘tie up’, i’ll bind the guy up if I can and deliver him to the bailiff. Until then, if he lifts his hand at me, he’s going down, rep hit be damned

So it’s not just me then!

Actually, thinking about it, this shows an issue with how the game reacts to you becoming Master Hunter of Talmberg. When confronted by gamekeepers around the area, you do get the option to say ‘I’m the Master Hunter’, but if you respond with a different choice that doesn’t necessarily mean you aren’t the Master Hunter, you don’t get a chance later on to say you are, and either get fined or attacked.
