These (hidden) skills are in the game! When can we see them?

Since a lot of modders seem to be on vacation, and I have some free time, I have been unpacking mods to see if I can update them myself.

Today I unpacked the tables.pak, from the game and not a mod, and was looking in the skills.xml file. Here are some interesting skills that are currently in the game, but not used.

skill_name=“fencing”
skill_name=“cooking”
skill_name=“fishing”
skill_name=“mining”
skill_name=“first_aid”
skill_name=“weapon_crossbow”
skill_name=“weapon_shield”
skill_name=“weapon_dagger”
skill_name=“tailoring”
skill_name=“armourer”
skill_name=“weaponsmithing”
skill_name=“shoemaking”
skill_name=“gambling”

Can we expect to see any or all of these skills implemented in a future DLC or patch?

I want fishing and cooking, also famring. To get your own raw ingredients aside from hunting and to cook them or be able to cure meat would be dope.

I’m holding out some of these skills will come with the From the Ashes DLC where you rebuild Pribyslavitz…maybe they’ll add new skills with the DLC too? Or later down the road they’ll add them. They mentioned some stuff, like polearms, were meant to be in the game but just didnt make it…maybe they’re un deleted files?

yeah, these skills would be amazing in the game

maybe also some romance skill of some kind

sadly polearm skill isnt included but all else look interesting, and some much more than others

Spoilers maybe in this? Idk how much you guys care but I’ll hide it just in case and then watch the video also if you don’t care to know what kind of stuff is coming and how it relates to this list.

Summary

So I have bet these skills, or some of them anyway, are going to come with rebuilding Pribyslavitz. You can build a bakery and a tavern and you basically govern and live in rebuilt Pribyslavitz. So I’m assuming to make it worth paying for this will mean you can do jobs or small interactive tasks and then these skills will come in to play, or again some of them anyway.

If you’re on a PC there are several mods that return it.

Any idea if these are Henry only skills, skills that could be used to create NPC expertise levels, or both?

Sad sack that I am … stuck with vanilla PS4 and no mods

Turns out they have already included lots of “ashes” stuff buried in 1.6. Exploring English.xml shows a lot of new items that we will get and hint at new activities.

Beer Brewing! pribyslavitz_beer
A beer with as much character as the founder of the brewery it comes from, Henry of Skalitz. Pribyslavitz Boar has bite to it and, like the lives of the people in these parts, a bitter edge.

I can see why the modders are all on vacations. It would be pointless to put in a lot of time to update mods now and then have to do it all again in 1 week.

Was excited when I heard Prokop mention it and to your larger point… BlickMang said early on waiting for DLCs to come out and bugs to get squashed. Makes sense

Those are abilities of NPCs.

do you know if they enable animations or impact the quality/volume of work output?.. both or something else? Would be interesting to know how the game is structured/functions on the ‘back end’

Shortly no. I’m not modder.
