Kuttenberg Tournament - NPC using Short Sword and Shield in Long Sword Round

[Psilocyborg]

errm.... that shouldn't happen xD

This quest is probably the most broken quest I have ever seen. Sometimes NPCs dont show up for a duel at all, sometimes they show up without a weapon, at times they fail to jump over the fence to enter the arena. The guards run at me to tell me put away my weapon mid duel. And now I am unable to progress this quest cause two NPCs are supposed to fight but they just stand in the arena AFK doing nothing and skipping time wont help, they just keep standing there. Did they even test this quest at all?

They probably have, but the lovely rules of "New Games" is that they are always finished with a few hitches... it is never finished in the perfect state :(

I fixed it by putting Bane Poison in the wine. No really. Doing that and then waiting 1-2 hours whenever the NPCs mess up seemed to bypass duels and move on to the next part.

Worst part was the guy who had no weapon at all and would just fist fight, but then he didn't know how to return to the corner for the second part of the fight when fighting another NPC, so the whole tournament would just lock up. The only way to fix that particular fight seems to be waiting 1-2 hours so it happens "offscreen" and such. Just be careful you don't fail the tournament by doing that since sometimes that happened lol.

Bring a bucket of saviour schnapps I guess and just get through via trial and error.

Menhard mentions the first tournament is just finding its feet and future tournaments will get better with better prizes as time goes on, but no clue if that's just flavour text or if it's actually a thing that will happen. It won't be me finding out though, because I'm not going to subject myself to that buggy mess again until it is patched

Found out that if you go all the way to your corner of your arena, they wont try to jump the fence and they show up with an actual weapon

Yeah, I had to bump into one of my opponents who was looking into the Armourer's tent in order to get him to enter the arena.

And the NPC vs NPC Long Sword Round just now was entered by another Short Sword + Shield NPC who fought an NPC without any weapon xD Hilarious to watch - the thaiboxer won xDD after the duel, the loser did the frustrated kicking-dust animation and it looked like he kicked the victorious boxers shin because that guy was still in pummeling range :)))

yep, most broken quest i have encountered for now XD

I had one use a mace in the 1 bouts can't remember if that L or short. I'v also seen NPCs think it was a boxing match. The only surprising thing about the tourney is if you manage to get through 6 fights without something or other breaking.
