Some users have complained about random encounters, and while I can understand and sympathize to some degree I feel there is a bigger problem. The ambushes can be a farce worthy of their own Monty Python skit or at least a meme. For your viewing pleasure, examples are below.
First pic - Warhorse Jenda pulled up because he’s seen this ambush trick before. Being sensitive to Jenda’s body language, Henry scans the surroundings and notices a bandit with a shield on the right side.
.
Second pic - Warhorse Jenda knows the routine and promptly goes off path behind the bandit… fully expecting that the bandit will turn and rise to attack. Nope. Still locked in ambush mode for the village idiot.
.
Third pic - Warhorse Jenda gives a shake telling Henry he’s not moving forward anymore. Henry dismounts and sneaks behind the bandit… fully expecting after all that noise that the bandit will at any moment turn and rise to attack. Nope. Still locked in ambush mode for the phantom traveler.
.
Fourth and final pic in series - Warhorse Jenda snorts to tell Henry to stop messing about. Henry obeys but still in shock over how absurd his enemy’s behaviour was.

This is bad enough, but the exact same steps can be executed at night whilst Henry carries a torch. A ticket with text was sent in over a month ago. Pics (above) were sent as follow up today. Please fix this WH. @WH_janrucker
