Wrongfully accused

I am trying to talk to Captain Bernard at the Neuhof Stud Farm, to report what I have discovered. The problem is, when I try to approach him, he arrests me saying I was seen carrying a lifeless body. I am playing my game as a noble and just character, and do not kill innocents or anything of the sort. Only body I have ever touched was hours of play earlier, when I did the “Do me a favor - punch me” quest, and after knocking the guy out, I accidentally hit “E” and it caused me to pick him up. I just put him right back down. I have never carried a dead body, but now I have to go to jail because the game says I did!? I have tried all options available to not go to jail, but all fail. I go to jail, or flee and become a fugitive!?

I don’t like playing criminals in games, but this game seems destined to force me to do so., even if I commit no crime.

These things happen, you know, even in real life. You find a dead body, you pick the murder weapon in the shock - bam, you are blamed for the deed.

I didn’t do any of that. I knocked the guy out in fair fight, and that’s it. He got up and walked away after a few seconds. I was basically jailed for doing a quest, that required nothing illegal. There were not even any other NPC’s around to say I did anything. That is not like real life. The guy I fought didn’t turn me in. I wasn’t jailed for fighting. I was jailed for carrying a dead body, something I have never done in game.

Bugs, bugs and bugs…I’ve seen people having this bug and gameplay videos showing it too. Report here in detail please, support@kingdomcomerpg.com

Will do, thank you!

I get accused of crap all the time. I will literally be just walking around trying to find the bailiff and then I get swarmed and accused of “crippling” someone, haven’t done a dang thing and have to spend 20 days in jail and it takes forever

You said yourself, you picked him up. Picking Up a “lifeless Body” is a crime and now you are accused of it. Shit Happens, get ober it. When you accidently Pick a Lock and a Guard Sees you its the same. So either you reload or you Just live with it.
There’s ni Bug in it, only Thing you could argue is, why this counts as “lifeless Body”.

The same thing is happening to me, but no one was around to see me pick him up after the fight.

The issue is, sometimes when fighting someone, if you knock them out, Henry automatically picks the person up. I just had it happen again, in Merhojed, when I was trying to protect the bandit from the guy trying to kill him. I beat him up, in from of everyone, and when I knocked him out, it AUTO picked him up. Everyone ran, and all of a sudden I am wanted. WTF??? They need to get rid of you being turned into a criminal for carrying someone who is just unconscious, or get rid of the auto pick up crap! Now I have to load my last save, and go through everything again, so I won’t once again, be put in jail WRONGFULLY!!! I have to go back, through nearly 45 minuted of play, because the last auto save was way back in Sasau, and do everything all over again because of crap programming that is totally beyond my control. I am not pressing anything to pick up the people I beat up, they get knocked out, and it auto picks them up, and I either have to redo a whole bunch of stuff, since saves in the game suck, or spend a week in jail. It is total crap!

Just happened to me after the fight with Old Thomas and his cronies with Henry’s friends Matt & Fritz. Henry knocked Old Thomas unconscious, and was carrying him (maybe I hit “E” too often). Had Henry drop him, then loot him for a quest item, went to the inn where Henry had a room rented, slept the night, got up, and got arrested by the guards for carrying a corpse. WAS NOT CARRYING A CORPSE! Only picked up and then DROPPED an unconscious man, Old Thomas, that I also saw walking back to town after apparently waking up. KCD team, I love the game, and PLEASE FIX THIS BUG. Thank you.

Is there a console command I can use to “unset” the “carrying a corpse” flag as a circumvention until the bug is fixed??
