hey got the game a day early, loving it so far, but i just left talmberg and in the village below there is a dead guy on the floor called tom o’ the bath or something, he has a unique name other than ‘‘villager’’ so is this guy important and is he supposed to be dead in the middle of the street?? lol.
I will reload an earlier save if he is not supposed to be dead.
bump, anyone know, anyone else had this happen??
No idea… can you confirm you are playing the game with the latest patch installed?
What version are you running and what platform?
1.1 on ps4pro.
If he isn’t a questgiver or in a quest it doesn’t matter, but wih a unique name makes me think he might of been part of a questline. He is dead right by his bathouse thing as i picked up his keys and used it on a trunk in there. Also there is a guard standing by him saying where is this gravedigger and stuff, so not sure if that is scripted or they do that with all dead bodies in a village/town area.
Not sure… might be relevant to some quest you pick up from another NPC.
Just heads up that there may be another patch available later today / tomorrow. I’m not 100% certain which is the correct release version, but many have been playing the non-patched release which retailers have erroneously made available before the official release time and embargo is lifted.
Just something to be mindful of
bump, need to know this as i am not continiuing with game as i don’t know if this has ramifications for a quest???
Hi, you found any information yet? Had the same problem (WIN 10, Steam Version). Came down to the village from the castle, finding Tom o’ the baths and a ‘villager’ dead. Lateron some ‘Margaret’ in the village went up invisible stairs into the air, falling down resulting in death. Tom must’ve died somehow when I was still in the castle stealing armor and stuff, because some panicking villager ran around calling for help as she found a dead person. The guard couldn’t ran out the castle’s grid entrance though.
NPCs with names should respawn IMO. As a player I’m not sure if a named NPC was important or not. And the difficult save concept doesn’t help. Question is: should I load an Autosave way back or keep playing? Information is still scarce on KCD at the moment. if I find out anything I’ll post it.
I reloaded earlier save and came down and he was alive, just a random death I guess so reload earlier save.
They’re all related to the Huntmaster quest/achievement, involving Nicholas and Hanekin Hare. If Thomas is dead, you may be able to still proceed. But if Margaret is dead, you cannot complete this eventual ending quest or get the achievement to become the Huntmaster of Talmberg.
I had this happen too. he is tied into the master huntsman quest. he knows the talmberg huntsman is a poacher and talks about it in the tavern. someone killed him because of what he knows. I am not sure how the quest plays out, I can’t trigger it no matter how I try. also I killed the huntsman. whenever offered me the starting quest dialogue.
Oh well came into talmberg much later in the game and margaret is dead in the stream. Can’t be bothered to load an earlier save so i imagine i cannot complete that quest now when i eventually get it? Disappointing.
He is relevant to poaching quest BUT, you don’t need him to solve it.
In my game Margret also died because she fell from the sky and broke her neck. She then respawned inside the huntmaster house.
Margaret - fell from sky and villager…
Same here… i was walking in Talmberg suddenly i saw a villager in the air (above the little waterbridge) falling down and then screaming about a death body and she run away… when i checked there was a body in the river under the little waterbridge named: Margaret… a lot of guards circle around eachother and no one talks about it, exept the barman from the tavern did say some like: it is so quit here, that someones gonna get killed… very odd
If you stand under which ever npc ends up in the glitch and let them land on your head they will live
It’s that little wooden bridge in Talmberg leading to the inn. On my first visit to Talmberg Olena was dead underneath it, luckily I died and had to reload. Then when doing the hunstman quest, I run to find Margaret only to find a corpse under the bridge again surrounded by guards…I had spoken to her 2 minutes prior to this. I thought fantasy elements weren’t included in KCD yet here is clear evidence of devs putting a troll under that bridge.
Thnx for advice, i’ve already load a previously save from 2 hours back damnnn… but she’s alive! ^^
