What happened next was determined by your speech skill. After approaching the body a person would run up to you and accuse you of murdering or looting corpses. Other times they’d lure you in and then call for their bandit friends to attack you. Sometimes they’d sell you a treasure map or loaded die. These guys could either be friend or foe. He too, would challenge you to a duel, and if you won, he’d award you a strong piece of armor. Mercenary, he showed up quite often too, but not as much as the unsure knight.

He showed up A LOT, and was a nice sparring partner to try out your sword combos on. He wears a really nice armor set and reluctantly challenges you to a duel.

What I haven’t seen that I used to see a lot of. I have traveled to Skallitz, Talmenberg, Uzhitz, Neuhoff and seen no other events. Note that these are the only encounters I have seen and they all have happened around either of the Millers outside of Rattay. Cumans put a loot chest in the road, and attack after you’ve searched it. Bandits put a tree in the road to block your horse. One or two bandits who jump you from the bushes. After reinstalling the game and starting a new game under the most recent PS4 patch I have seen a dramatic reduction in all random encounters. Back when I last played the game (sometime around March) there was a ton of random encounters as you traversed the world.
