What are you talking about? Siegfried is absolutely on there, he’s definitely not missing. Tira is DLC but Khajiit got the deluxe edition so he had access to her from day 1.

Sorry I meant voice actor. Siegfried doesn't sound like he did in the past Soul games.

*Shrugs* Khajiit didn’t notice a difference.

Could always google it.

Heh...Master Strike is wielding technique he's now able to perform, not a Weapon Master certification. Henry was able to execute it with some regularity for a few play sessions right after learning it. Alas, following several play sessions where Henry saw next to no combat I find I've lost my touch at clicking the right mouse buttons. Don't think Henry's successfully done a master strike since then.

As to blunt weapons, his overall skill with them is too low to be effective against all but the weakest foes, master strike or no master strike. What he needs to do is return to the training arena and spend session after grueling session working up the skill in a "safe" environment, spending a fortune in armor repair in the process.

He now has an enviable problem of being able to loot gear off defeated foes faster than vendors are able to cope with. They each have a set amount of cash to purchase spoils and other items with, replenished after a set period. Henry has amassed an ever increasing stockpile of spoils to sell as vendors replenish their funds. No biggie, except that while Henry has generous storage capacity it is not infinite. He himself can carry a decent amount on his person. His horse can hold more. He has a storage chest in the rooms given him. As of the beginning of this morning's first session, his room storage was maxed out, his horse could hold only about 50lbs more, and he himself was about 10lbs from max weight. A decent part of that session was spent visiting vendors and selling off what he could. It helps, but he's gonna have to be very selective of what he loots for a while. Boy is hard to leave valuable items on corpses, but what ya gonna do?

His major expense at this stage is repair kits. He eats through those a bag of chips, and unlike chips they ain't cheap. Training books and Alchemy recipes are becoming costly too. Doh!, that reminds me we forgot to check the Sasau alchemist for recipes this session. Too late now. Henry's back in Rattay.

Well, we now have KCD in the house, but it is on my son's PlayStation; and he is playing it first. (I don't think the game will allow for two games to be played at once using separate saves like most games do). He has been playing it every night for a week now. I may be able to sneak into his room while he is at work and play as long as I don't save my progress; but unfortunately = can't start a new game and run it simultaneously while he has a game of it being saved. (grrrrrr).

Ya know, I honestly don't know if it's possible for two separate play-throughs of KCD to exist on the same installation at the same time. Worth an investigation. I gave it a go while ago with no results, but might not know how to properly phrase my search statement.

As for me, I've officially clocked 178hr of play now. Even as recently as yesterday's final session I discovered (or realized) two neat game elements that might prove a boon to its learn-term value.

Earlier Henry fought one-on-one against a skilled, well armored bandit. Both wielded shield and war-hammer. Despite Henry's ineptness at melee it was memorable, long-lasting engagement. He won out in the end, but it was iffy there for a while. Wish I had captured it on video. (He was lucky to have lured that bandit away from their camp without alerting others. Henry would never have survived had the bandit been reinforced.)

Try DuckDuckGo. Only other engine I can think of that's even remotely popular.

Google became all about the money.

Henry's recent adventures involved no combat, discounting a group of ragamuffin bandits who mistakenly accosted him on the road near the end of a game-day. Otherwise he split his time between healing the sick and injured and searching for hidden treasure. Alas, most found treasure wasn't quite as good as what he already has. No great loss. He'll made good money off armor and weapon sells.

As to luring that bandit, in this case it worked thusly. Henry approached the camp at a crouch. His stealth ability isn't the best. It alerted that bandit that someone might be nearby, but didn't give him away. The bandit walked away from camp to investigate. Henry backed off. The bandit kept walking in his general direction, calling out "Who's there" but not shouting for help. Either next back away or the the one after the bandit spotted Henry. He then shouted for assistance, but was too far from camp by then to be heard. Luckily he chose to attack rather than run to camp. Leastwise that's how it played out.

<nods> DDG has been my search-engine-of-choice for some years now. Didn't help with today's KCD search, but ya can't win 'em all. Thing with DDG is I trust it to respect my privacy, certainly more so than Google. Same with Chrome Browser. I won't install it, despite just about every other piece of Freeware asking me to. In any case, back when I used to occasionally audition Chrome I always preferred Firefox.

(I've been trying to look up about different ways to use the poison; haven't found anything so far). I wondered if you can poison your weapons; or if you drop something poison (or the poison potion) on the ground = will the enemy pick it up and eat/drink it; etc.

Thank you both; I just found DDG and bookmarked it so I can test it out.

<nods> Henry can indeed add poison to his weapons. How effective that is depends on several factors, but it's worth a try if you want to increase the odds in your favor. You can also sneak into an enemy (or friendly for that matter) camp and poison its food/drink supply. Results will again vary. One thing I don't know is if a poisoned NPC will drink antidote if he or she has any on them. I would be surprised if someone drank a vial of poison picked up off the ground...not sure if A.I. is sophisticated enough for that. Besides, if they ARE that sophisticated they're likely smart enough to recognize poison when they see it. Maybe? In any case, poisoning their food and/or drink is the method stressed. My avatar has little success poisoning food as he clacks too loudly in his plate armor to get away with it 97% of the time. He could of course change into more suitable attire, but if he gets caught in enemy territory sans armor he's pretty much toast.

And I don't like Firefox anymore. The design is awful and its more bloated with features I won't use.

Hmmmm.

Amazing how shows like Airplane or any Mel Brooks films can still be quoted and memorable .
