One of the most intriguing aspects of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is its crime and punishment system.
While committing crimes can lead to hefty fines, there’s a clever way to pay these fines for “free” – or at least, without permanently losing your hard-earned Groschen. This article will explain the exact method, its nuances, limitations, and potential risks.
Let’s get started –
Understanding Crime and Punishment in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
Before we get into paying fines for free, it’s important to know how crime works in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. When you break the law, guards will try to catch you.
Depending on how bad your crime is, you might have different choices:
- Talk your way out: For small crimes, if your character is good at speaking and has a likable personality, you might be able to convince the guards to let you go.
- Scare them off: If your character looks tough or important, you might be able to frighten the guards away for less serious crimes.
- Pay a fine: For bigger crimes, often your only choice to stay out of jail is to pay money.
Remember, some really bad crimes, like killing someone, can’t be talked away no matter how good your character is at speaking or how they look. In these cases, you’ll have to pay the fine to avoid worse trouble.
The “Free” Way to Pay Fines
Let’s look at how you can pay fines without really losing your money. This trick uses some game rules and needs some patience and skill. Here’s how to do it:
- Do the Crime: For this example, let’s say you did something really bad, like killing someone. This will make the guards want a lot of money from you.
- Pay the Fine: When the guards catch you, choose to pay the fine. This will take the money from you at first. For killing someone, it might cost 2,000 Groschen.
- Wait for the Guard to Go Back to Normal: After you pay, wait until the guard stops paying attention to you and goes back to their usual job.
- Get the Guard Alone: This part is tricky. You need to make the guard who has your money follow you to a quiet place. You could do something small, like hitting the guard, to make them chase you out of town.
- Make Sure No One’s Watching: Check that no other people are around to see what you’re going to do. You might need to knock out or distract other guards or people nearby.
- Get Your Money Back: Once you’re alone with the guard, you can:
a) Steal the money back from their pocket.
b) Knock out the guard and take the money from them.Both ways need you to be good at sneaking and stealing. - Run Away and Hide: After you get your money back, it’s smart to leave the area and stay hidden for a while to avoid more trouble.
Remember, this trick is part of the game and not something you should try in real life!
Things to Keep in Mind
While this trick can work, it’s not always easy:
- You Need Skills: You have to be good at sneaking and fighting to steal from or knock out guards.
- You Might Get in More Trouble: If you’re caught stealing or hurting a guard, you’ll have to pay more fines or get punished.
- Time Matters: Guards will put their money away after a while, so you need to act fast.
- Lots of People Around: In busy places, it’s hard to get a guard alone without others noticing.
- Big Fines: For really big fines, you might need to steal multiple times or carry a lot of stolen money, which is risky.
Other Ways to Try
If you think this method is too hard or dangerous, here are some other ideas:
- Knock Them Out: Instead of stealing, you can try to knock out the guard in a quiet place and take their stuff. This is more dangerous but might be easier if your character is strong.
- Steal from Chests: If you can’t get to the guard in time, they’ll put the money in their personal box. If you’re good at stealing, you might be able to break in and take it back.
- Get Rid of the Guard: In extreme cases, some players might choose to kill the guard who has their money. But this usually leads to worse problems and isn’t a good idea.
Remember, these are just game strategies and shouldn’t be tried in real life!
How This Method Affects Your Gameplay
Using this method to avoid paying fines can change how you play:
- More Money: You keep money you’d normally lose, which might make you richer than the game intended.
- Different Choices: If crimes don’t cost you money, you might do things you wouldn’t normally do, changing your character’s story.
- Improving Certain Skills: You’ll get better at sneaking and stealing, but might not develop other skills as much.
- Reputation Effects: Even if you keep your money, people in the game might still like you less for your actions.
Advanced Tips
If you want to get really good at this, try these ideas:
- Watch the Guards: Learn when and where guards walk to find the best times to act.
- Wear Disguises: Use costumes to blend in and look less suspicious when following guards.
- Create Distractions: Throw things or cause trouble elsewhere to move guards where you want them.
- Have Hiding Places: Set up safe spots near where you commit crimes so you can escape quickly.
- Balance Good and Bad: Do some good deeds to keep people liking you, even if you’re also doing some crimes.
Remember, these are just game strategies!
