Played again for some hours and had a couple of bandits hiding behind bushes, hold up with cumans that were harassing traders but also the “not so brave” knight and, my favourite, the riddle guy.
Good news, they are back.
Bad news, it seems that the frequency is very, very low. I mean, I had to travel for hours, going all over the map (yes, using the certain places they pop up and yes, trying fast and regular travel).
Like that they try to keep it realistic (getting a event every five minutes is not realistic), but with a change you finish the game without getting most of the random encounters.
If I think about all the types I got (brave knight, beggars for food, “beggar” with hidden bandits, pelgrim for shoes, corpse of woman, man and animal accompanied with douche or c*nt, poacher, lost traders, seller of maps/dice, etc). Just to much fun to miss out on these, I believe most players are willing to take away a bit of reality for that.
Or is it just my situation (non modded pc game) that has this low frequency?
