Question about crime

Gameplay
#1

Let’s say there is a hut on the outskirts of a village far away enough to be no witnesses I go there at night or even during the day while no one(except people who live there) is around and i kill everyone in that building/area without being seen. What happens if i go to the village will everyone suddenly know i killed those people and turn hostile? what are the mechanics for that?

Second question is from what i saw in your video while you were showing stealing from a chest it was said that if during lockpicking the chest you fail to open the chest you will alert people, isnt it over the top? I mean its not like you dropped a heavy object or broke something, messing with a lock is not that loud especially if you disposed of any potential threats(other people in the building you are in), so if i mess up the lockpick try on the chest does magically everyone outside and in the houses nearby know that someone is stealing something in that one house where some random noise was made at night?

Tl;dr : After I commit a crime does everyone and their mother suddenly know I did something wrong and turn on me?

Idk about the hut, but I guess if none if the people living there wake up and alert the guards, you can kill them.
As for the pick, only the people in the room (sometimes people in the house) will hear it, and they will go and alert the guards. If no one hears it no one will know you did the crime.
Basically every time guardd are alerted you are a known criminal.

Awesome, then gotta learn the bow really well so I can shoot anyone running for the guards in the back :slight_smile:

I was thinking about using it during the day to shoot people who are runing away or shoot everyone in their legs so they cant run at all and chop them into pieces hmm… but yea stealth might be fun too…

I am not sure the combat mechanics will work that way but i am certainly hoping so. As for crime i hope we can viably play through as the bad guy. Also i am hoping for ways to create your own band of thugs.

Practice makes perfect!

#8

There must be witness who actually must go to the guards, otherwise, people will only get suspicious.

#9

Another thing I wonder if its possible to remain unspotted like if i hide in a bush and shoot out of it at someone and run away so they dont know who took the shot… imagine the possibilities you could stalk the whole village and whenever someone leaves the village to go somewhere you shootem in the knee and hide and after some time everyone in the village cant run cause they go hit in the legs so you can go and chop them to pieces! ha!

#10

It’s possible, if you’ve a good skills in those. Even in the last gameplay video it was shown and has been told. :wink:

P.S Not the last part of your sentence. I don’t think so.

#11

Awww… well good enough… but never the less still sounds like a solid game design. Lets hope when they release a sequel it will be possible to send Henry on a mission to shoot every living npc in the foot! MAKE EM LIMP! Mwahaha

#12

Yeah, something like that. :wink:

#13

If you injure NPC, it will heal itself outside combat.

#14

Yeah, I don’t like that the noise of a broken lockpick is even louder than the sound of a shattering window. I don’t like that the NPC’s just know that that’s the noise of someone stealing. There’s no, “What was that? I’ll check it out.” Nope, it’s, “Thief!! Help!! Alarm! Alarm! Guards heeeelp!” She heard the noise from a mile away and then 4 guards show up and the dog starts barking immediately. Seriously? If I drop a fork will they hear that too and accuse me of stealing?

#15

Only be sleeping, they dont heal by themselves. Sooo… dont let them sleep? :smiley:

#16

sorry to burst your bubble but it seems everyone and their mother will know of a crime, I killed a couple of people in Rattay, no one noticed, my rep with citizens of Rattay plummetted, and as a result I get searched every second in that city, which makes perfect sense because I’m a literal knight working for Sir Radzig the Kings right hand man (sarcasm if you think otherwise)

#17

Sorry to burst your bubble but you’re not knight just a bitch for those lords. They use you. They do not even mention you in history.

#18

LOL, have you even played the game? You are literally called a “knight” …

#19

I hope you were joking about the history part, its a game… -.-

#20

He’s right, you’re a commoner with no history. But this game is historically accurate in most parts, although it is a game.
