Haha, well this weekend I do plan to do a couple livestreams if possible. :D And their times will be much earlier than this last one, I blame food poisoning for lack of livestreams this past weekend.
In defense of the beer perk, if you take that and luck of the drunk perk it’s perfect. At low levels you can open very hard chests with one beer and you won’t get drunk. I always go for those two in the beginning.
That is very true, though I do find most of the beer debuffs (like negative energy) such a pain to deal with. Also they're usually so weak in alcohol already that taking the beer perk, I think it would make it harder to get that slight little drunk effect at higher drinking levels. (My Henry levels up drinking like a champ, I don't know what that says about him lol)
You can streamline testing these with the Cheat mod on Nexus. It can't reverse leveling, but it can instantly increase your stat and skill levels. It's a bit unreliable at giving perks/buffs despite that command existing though. Also, I've peeked through the game files before, specifically the buffs tables. Most perks are accurately described in-game, but some are either misleading (Tin Opener) or don't have actual numbers listed. The latter category mostly applies to Hardcore perks, most of which are pretty weak debuffs once you look at the actual numbers. Consumption only penalizes stamina regen by 15%, but a Buck's Blood potion boosts it by a whopping 50%! As for Tin Opener, it gives a _flat_ +15% durability damage boost, not +15% of the current value. So since most weapons deal single digit durability damage, you are actually multiplying durability damage by around 4x (higher value against plate armor for maybe 6x). It's an auto-pick for me especially since I prefer swords to maces.
Many thanks for the good data. This is the first time I got to go back through the old comments since getting sick multiple times. But going through the game files seems the way. As for tin-opener that is only for weapons you sharpen on the stone wheel right? I have to look again, but if that is the case then that explains why people just drop dead instantly with that perk and swords. Maces are reliable no doubt, but certain swords just put the game on easy mode, whether you're trying range or just combo opportunities or defense rating.
@@helicalgoose Yes, Tin Opener is applied to anything sharpened on the grindstone. It's a free way to repair swords and axes before selling off so you have no real reason to ignore it under normal circumstances. Of course, you can't sharpen maces so this buff also cannot be applied on them. Interestingly, because the buff from Tin Opener is applied to the weapon (as if you coated it with poison), NPCs given weapons sharpened with Tin Opener/Serrated Edge will still benefit from them. I found out by accident when a kidnapped enemy nearly destroyed my armor after only a few hits in a duel. I had previously given him a weapon I dulled on purpose with the grindstone, but that still applied the buffs from Tin Opener/Serrated Edge and afaik you cannot remove those.
Oh many thanks! Hope to see you around for that time too! I think I plan to take a few days off from work and just live stream non-stop for a few days or basically until I beat the game. After beating the game we can just start with the adventures of Henry of Skaltiz properly ;)
One day we'll sit down and talk about all the words you said wrong tonight... 😂 I say this with love, of course! Also, challenge run for you- you can only use the perks that won the polls, so one per tree
Haha, oh god. I think I will need a lot of drinks to get me through that sort of poll, also I think youtube only allows 24 hour stream at once, we may run of out of time ;)
Oh there are many other words, that one will be the kind edition haha. I feel like having me sound out all the village names is the one thing that people will beat me up over first. Just wait till KCD2, I am not getting nothing right!
@@helicalgoose To clarify, Fly Agarlic was a thing Trial By Squire said on the alchemy video on tye section about Samopesh, the land of plenty. The battle then is between the two of you trying find which words the other has mispronounced, what do you think of that? I'd propose a drinking game but not even Drinking Skill 20 with the perk that prevents you from passing out can save us from the results!
I nearly never use Kombos (or is it Combo in english?) because it makes no sense to learn these. You get interrupted most of the times and just using masterstrike or the fast "stabby-stabb-stab"-technique is more effective. 🤷🏻♂️
The combos (in english, but with a K for kombos sounds more like a fun slang lol so you're good ;) ) but combos are really not necessary IMO. Like you said stab your way to victory usually works 80% of the time. The only combo I like is the simple scarmaker and half sword, those two are easy to pull off and usually can end a 1v1 really fast, but then again stabbing is the way to go most of the time.
I can go with that :D The combos are fun when you do pull them off, the only bad part is getting them blocked early on and waiting for them to reset, the fury it creates.

I can’t wait to see your live streams around the time the game comes out

Thanks for the stream
Hey thanks for watching!
I do plan to do others earlier this weekend flip through a couple of them if possible :D
If you can join that would be great.

Stanima vs Fly Agarlic, battle of the century!
