Picking up bodies?

[Katsu]

seriously whats the point of this feature? what do you use this picking up body thing for?

Some one said that robbery is easier if you hide bodies. Aka. reputation not lost.

I personally havent murdered a single soul in game.

like when you sneak kill a guard and you toss it outside of the village, you free to go sneak kill another at the same route :P

or maybe you want to cause an alert elsewhere

yea I havent used it once yet, mainly because when I kill people in bandit camps nothing really becomes of it - meaning they dont wake the others, sound the alarm...if theres a use for picking up the bodies I havent found it yet

Moving a body when you knock out someone might help delay it being found and the npc woken up, and it probably decreases the odds of your reputation plummeting because they 'figure out' who did it.

Also you can't really tell but there's a difference between knocking out someone who saw you walking by them, and knocking out someone who never saw or heard anyone crouch and approach them from behind.

If you did it perfectly, when you knock out someone the text on the upper right should not say 'people who hate you...' statements.

But I guess for some npcs, they will know who knocked them out due to how AI works in this game (if the AI knows something it will home into you via pathfinding, not look for your last known location).

There is one quest where you need to move someone's body.

Yeah, it is definitely there to up your stealth game...but whenever I'd pickup a body I'd lose stealth benefit because I am not crouching. So kinda broken or just pointless. For RP reasons maybe.

If you get caught doing a crime the villager will usually run off scared and report crime.

Dumping a body in middle of town will cause npc to stop and say something but I don’t think you get bad rep unless caught in act of the crime.

I've only ever found use for it at night time attacking bandits, but their AI is so broken I didn't really have to. Even if I alerted the whole camp, all I need to do is hide in the bushes and they'll forget their friend is dead in 3 minutes.

Where would be best to hide a body?

[GinMaou]

far away. apparently bushes don't help :P

speaking of which, are bushes anything but decoration in this game or do all bandits and Cumans have X ray vision?

Bushes are designed to unhorse me and trap me between a bush and a cliff.

Also if your sneaking into camps the guards can be alerated if they see the bodies

Bushes do conceal you if you have all dark colored clothes on and especially if it's night time. Also takes into play your stealth skill
