Playthrough #2 - Veteran Evil Thief tips?

[Markco]

My first run I was a good little protagonist who never told a lie and said their prayers every night before bed.

Now I want to burn it all down and push the limits of how evil you can be.

Specifically, I want to be a thief and serial killer in the towns without getting caught.

For the vicar quest, I noticed that I could knock him out, drag his body out of the town and murder him without anyone seeming to think I was involved. I assume I can do this for all NPCs? Looking for tips like that to become a mass murderer.

It gets boring really quick. I went on random psycho rampages at first but it gets you nowhere and everyone will just hate you.
I replayed and was a kind person. I did massacre a field of sheep though and felt bad afterwards.

So there isn't a way to get away with crimes at all?

in KCD, Henry will always lose Reputation if he Knocks Out or Murders anyone - even if it was impossible for Henry to be seen (no witness).

However, Henry can Break-in/Steal as much as he wants, as long as he's not seen.

Getting seen gives Henry a Bounty - guards will approach, citizens may run and tell the guards - a bounty can usually be fixed by paying a fine or spending days in jail.

The Reputation Drop for Unwitnessed Assault usually happens overnight and is supposed to represent the uneasiness that the local town feels because of the crime, and it only effects Henry because Henry is the only Player Character.

And unfortunately For KCD, (as Rambo mentions), a Low Reputation becomes tiresome very quickly, basically having the tabletop RPG effect of a Low Charisma - prices are higher and haggling is harder.
