Noob questions
« on: May 25, 2012, 10:44:02 pm »
It's my first time playing adventure mode, and, of course, I have questions.
Why do I have so much stuff? How do other people deal with so many items?
Am I supposed to just take the stuff lying in people's homes/in fortresses, Legend of Zelda style? I have a bunch of random strawberries and fisherberries.

How much armor can I put on? The info in the Armor page on the wiki doesn't seem to help me much...
Is there any way I can tell the value of items? Do I have an appraiser skill that I need to level?

Any way I can tell how heavy something in outside of the trade menu?
I'll edit in more questions as they come...

Dont. Take. ANYTHING!


If its not from a camp, a tower, a keep, a fortress, or a underground area, dont take it. -EDIT- If you do, the entire civilization will attack you. EVERYONE, even animals.


You can wear as much as ytou want, if you do it right.


You cant tell the value unless your in trade-menu.

I've taken some fruit from people's houses, and nothing happened...

Can you explain wearing things?
Also, how many swords/shields can I have in my hands, and will having more hinder me?

More weapons spams your attack box.


More shields, yes. To get infinate shields in your hand-


Grab a shield, put in backpack.

>R emove them from backpakc your now holding them.

Lucky, you probably didnt grab from a merchant or a lived-in house. Stealing, assault, ANYTHING will make the entire civ attack you. Everyone, even puppies.


---

Weight will hinder you, so go with leather-copper shields, and depending on your weapon, heavier or lighter materials.

I'm pretty sure those crop bags in peoples' houses are A-OK. Just don't steal from shops.

Shop goods will be bracketed in '$', you can take anything else. In fact I've done most my 'shopping' by walking straight into their personal quarters and rifling through their clothes. They keep much nicer stuff in their dressers than they put on the shelves or wear themselves.

Anything that someone isn't wearing or isn't in shops is fair game.
