I'm Hungry But Cannot Eat...

[hammerofthegods]

Just witnessed the murder of Henry's parents - arrived at the second area only to be informed "Henry is too hungry to sleep". I have an inventory with apples, lentil mash, roast duck taken from the kitchen but am greeted with a dull sound when attempting to eat...Bug? Is Henry only supposed to eat one particular food item at this point? V odd. He seemingly cannot eat but feels he needs to. What is this? Anorexia Simulator 2018?

Go to the kitchen on the ground floor of Talmberg castle. You'll get something you can eat (it's mandatory to continue the plot).

There is a cooking pot in the kitchen, walk up to it and press E or X or whatever your use button is.

They fill you up by 25 in normal mode and reset every day or couple of days. (Hard mode is 5 hunger every 3 days I think?)

If the pot doesn't work then try reloading the save just as you entered talmberg.

You can find pots of food to eat out on the road in small towns and everywhere. Eat like an american and become FAT LOL....Wait I'm a Merican and we don't just have pots full of food just sitting about or I live in a different Merica than this game is set in. : )

I guess this is another person not reading tutorials and not paying attention to interface features - you have to hold the interaction key, not just tap it.

Yeah...part of the Game Learning is to FOLLOW people if they ask..that DUDE did ask you to follow him into the Kitchen...to get something to eat....go there...its below the stairs in Castle Talmberg.

Really gotta pay attention to what People are saying in the Cutscenes..ya...I know...you JUST went thru a TON of cutscenes to get this far....but it will all come to Fruition soon in Talmberg Castle...after you talk to Someone in the Kitchen.

For that whole Run quest, it’s quite a bit bewildering at first, and that’s even after you get to safety. You’re fighting tight camera angles, still getting used to the navigation and ui, and have multiple people accosting you as well as having to deal with the debuffs from hunger and exhaustion.

I had mismapped controller keys too (tutorials were wrong because Steam decided to flip the sprint and crouch buttons in a recent patch), so I staggered around like a drunk idiot in Talmberg until I figured out wtf I was supposed to do.

I saved right after I got freedom to move so I could get my bearings and figure out where the damn kitchen even was. I missed the guy I was supposed to follow, and ended up trying to sleep in a bed that caused the game to lock up and glitch out. And when I did eat, it reduced energy level more, causing blackout effects. Prob due to a longer than normal horse ride, since the gallop button was relocated to the left stick by Steam.

Once I got my keybindings fixed, fixed the fov and mouse sensitivity, and figured out what I needed to do, it started making sense. Just don’t believe the on screen help, it’s not always accurate if you’re using Xbox controller, and it is really sensitive until tweaked.

Thanks All, I have to confess - it'd taken been a little while since I played the game so I only had a short window to continue - should've been paying more attention. Still ludicrous when considering i'd already placed Roast duck etc in my inventory. Still really enjoying the game though.
