Gameplay questions / Villagers and stealth

« on: July 20, 2018, 09:54:15 PM »

Hello,

I don't understand, how stealth works and why villagers in this game are omniscient. They, in some magical way, always know, where I am, and when I am getting closer to their village. I have 79% of stealth skill and I try to come closer to their village at night, while it is snowing. The maximum visibility is 2 tiles away, yet every time I try to come closer, some of them magically wake up, leave their houses and start to go toward the exact place, where I currently am. I obviously do this without being previously seen by them in the last few hours. When this happens and I just wait, they will miraculously come to the next closest tile from me and detect me from there, it's like I am a magnet and they are an iron that inevitably is going to find a magnet, if it's close enough. If I in such situation start to move away from the village going backward and randomly changing direction to left or right, they will still follow me perfectly, replicating all my moves to always take the shortest path to me, as if they had some divine insight telling them exactly, where is my hidding spot. This will happen until I am out of the village's range. I am of course, all of this time "hidden" using stealth, while making almost 0 noises, due to good stealth skill.

So, am I really "hidden" with a stealth skill, if they somehow are always 100% sure, where I am? Without making any noise or having an unsuccessful stealth attempt or being simply detected.

Please, explain someone this phenomenon to me. It really feels unrealistic.

Gameplay questions / Problems with fishing

« on: July 17, 2018, 10:36:57 PM »

Hello everyone,

I have a big problem with fishing currently. It was and is my only source of food, and so far, I was doing quite decent with it. Right now it's 6 weeks to the winter season and I am spending all of my energy on building my first house all the time + fishing, when it is necessary, which was so far an enough good way to supply my efforts. Unfortunately after some time I started to get messages that the waters feel extremely hostile to me, and my guess here is that it is related to spirits being angry at me or me having a bad karma for killing so many fishes for nothing in return (I am still a new player, so don't really have a good idea except for these suppositions, so I might be wrong).

After getting first of these messages, my initial fishing place stopped working, so I started to move few tiles on the F6 map away and fish there. It worked, but I also started to get the same messages after some time. Right now I cannot fish anything at all, I already eaten all of my food that was supposed to be used in case of bad luck with fishing, but with this incredibly bad luck of not fishing anything for 20 or 30 attempts I am currently starving.

My temporary solution was that I sold few short bows for a lot of fishes in a village, but they all are going to be eaten soon, so I need solution for my problem.

Worth of note, I sacrificed 2 or 3 times a roasted pike, but it didn't helped. My fishing skill is 61 and I am using a normal fishing rod. So far it was going all fine, but now fishing seems infeasible for me.
