WISENT SKULL?

[geekyoldiva]

Help please. In the wife's fish soup quest in Jezerica, I have killed 8 Wisent so far without getting a skull. Is this a bug or must I wipe out the entire Wisent population before achieving my goal?

It's completely random whether you'll get a skull or not. So just keep going til you get one.
Alternatively; I think getting the skull or not is decided when you skin the animal, not when you kill it. So you could save after killing a wisent but before skinning it. And then reload and try again if you don't get the skull.

Many thanks Morri. I think I'll toggle unlimited health, can't take any more damage. :)

They should add a perk in the hunting skill to increase the chance for skulls. Maybe swap it for one of the sneaking ones. Nobody sneaks.

I wouldn't want the skills relating to sneaking to be altered. I use sneak often for both hunting hostile animals and attacking bandits.
However, incorporating an increased chance of gathering a skull into the skills that increase the yields from harvesting from dead animals would be useful. If that is not already part of the code for that aspect of skinning.

It's random got it on my second Wisent for the same quest, came back with half my health bar, only had live level 3 in hunting, blew some funds for a recurve hunting bow and iron arrows, along with an iron crossbow and bolts.

I tried the crossbow out first, part of the reason I only had half health, I was hoping a headshot would deal with it, didn't work out that way, ended up in a life or death battle with the first wisent with my iron axe. Second one I kited with the bow.

It was worth it getting the master fisherman for the village though. Just need the extraction and farming special villager now.

Wait, there's more? I have the fisherman and the inventor, guess I have to keep doing wife quests. :)

One for each skill. ;)

I can't tell you how hard it is not to hover over the spoiler text!

[Goldi_Toplitz]

I know, that's why I sometimes can't resist to write things like: I knew you would hover over it! Yes, you! Don't worry, it's not a real spoiler, everybody already knows that you are amazing. Have a wonderful weekend! :)

I sneak all the time. I can get much closer to deer and other animals this way and then wack them with a spear

isnt that a perk already? or does that one just give more fur/ leather/ feathers and meat?

I think it doesn't affect skulls. But I'm not 100% sure either.

I always sneak when hunting...especially when hunting bandits.

You have to be real sneaky when hunting rabbits, those things are murderous.
