Following Morcock to Rattay?

[DobbyBaby]

So first play through, Henry was a good guy and basically let Timmy go. I don’t think I even put him in jail. He seemed too pathetic and the fact that his very own sister had betrayed his hiding place, trusting that Henry would do no harm, made doing anything bad to Timmy just feel too slimy.

This time, Henry’s a little rougher around the edges. Henry told Morcock where Timmy was hiding and even went with the bandits to the farm and watched them cut Timmy down in the farmyard.

But what happens if Henry lies that Timmy is in Rattay, and then follows them there?

Who do the bandits talk to?

How do they react when they realize Henry lied?

Unfortunately, nothing happens. They stack near one of the taverns and just stand there doing nothing. I guess the player is not supposed to actually follow them, but I did out of curiosity

Hmm. Bummer. The devs probably figured, rightly I guess, there is not really a reason for Henry to follow the bandits to Rattay.

I was impressed with the dialogue that occurs between the bandits and Timmy if you follow the former to the farm. I think that seeing NPCs interact with each other really increases the verisimilitude by taking the player out of the center of the universe for a moment.

I recently got a kick out of listening to the Charlatan and Sasau bailiff shoot the ♥♥♥♥ at the tavern over a couple of beers, some crazy story about German tree men.

I get tired of hearing about Betty and her knitting though. That banter dialogue gets used a lot.

Yes usually KCD pays attention to such details. There are a lot of dialogues and events "behind the scenes" you wouldn't expect to find. To my mind comes classical example of Deutsch arguing with his wife and then with the catchpole back in Skalitz.
But not this time
