Yes, that's the setup I use too when influence is good enough. Thanks for the tip, I only tried Escort once or twice and obviously got the wrong impression.

Sorry, I misunderstood. You need to do the Kymanto quest first and then ask for more work. Then they ask you if you want to be a slave trainer.
How dare you try to bring accuracy into this discussion. The "Melee first" crowd will have none of that!
Straw man, there is no crowd saying "melee first" or its better than ranged. Just the blanket statement that "melee is useless" is incorrect. Yes, since auto weapons prevail now it has even less use, but it wasn't that long ago that soldiers fought with melee often enough that they carried melee weapons. Once distance is closed many individual close combat battles were fought and won with melee weapons, kukri, trench knives, trench club, push dagger, etc.
In this game you aren't an army, but small gang and it's in a mostly urban environment where certain types of weapons have greater utility. I don't picture the battles like the graphic, two sides standing apart and shooting at each other like Napoleonic times. More like there are obstacles and the person using melee and traversing the terrain around those obstacles to get close enough to deal damage.
Plus, it's just fun to have alternative combat options and they need to be useful.

Need help with "The Golden Seal" quest... Description says i should travel to Darkmere and set up an ambush. However when i go there, there's no option for ambush and no enemies to fight... How do i progress?
It has been posted by Grim on his Discord that the next update (.8.1.3) will include the completion of that quest.
I have 27 blacksmithing and cant figure out how to get more. Scrapping merchandise doesn't give skills and I'm to low skilled to convert scrap metal to steel which i need even for the lowest weapon crafts...
As of now, its a pain in the ass to improve those stats.
There are 2 books u can buy/read, then I´ll stick crafting stimpacks, they are fast to craft and use just a few mats.
About 1 skill gain in 10 crafts in my short experience.

I did it by making combat knives. This run I started with about a ~15 blacksmithing (whatever the Rise from the Ashes character begins with) and I made combat knives until I could smelt steel. I have somewhere over a hundred of them now.
Incidentally, would you be interested in purchasing a combat knife made by a born idiot who was just learning his craft?
I can make you a deal on a bulk order!
Not asked from me, I know, but personally I'd trust more on your beginner-knives than on the plasma rifle that my denaar-addict MC hastily pulled together with absolutely no idea about the back-laying tech and using parts that some kid collected from trash-heaps on the street.
For a moment there I really hoped her father's name was Perry.
You always had some circumstantial reasons as to why combatants with gunpowder weapons would fall back on melee. Low accuracy. Slow reload. Lack of ammunition. Weapons too ungainly to be effectively used in close combat. Need for stealth.
It doesn't matter if you're fighting in a city or in a mist-covered forest, squeezing that trigger is always going to be faster than any melee attack. Modern semi-auto, much less automatic, weapons will always offer better chance to survive the encounter, never mind what Hollywood movies like to show.
Unless someone's waiting behind the corner to take a swing at you, or some similar ambush scenario that simply forces one of the combatants into pure reactive action already within melee engagement range. Even then, I'd personally much rather have a firearm on hand than some contact weapon.
Now, if Grim added something like Dune's slowshields, that would actually give a big reason to have melee weapons user in your party without getting gamey about it.
Which... in all honesty, I'm personally good with. It IS a game. But reading that one guy's "swerds can cut eff arms" post was just pure "post-animu-watching hype" cringe.
"Katanas cut fru tanks!"

You run it just like the original html file. It fully replaces the html file from the release version.
Agreed - but the point I tried to make, was that there is a psychological part to "wanting to actually kill" another person.
Uhm... the point was the psychological aspect to actually firing to kill another human being.
Whether I was more-or-less accurate on the exact dates - has zero bearing on that argument...
...so pardon me if I discard your ramblings. lol.
Oh, perhaps your argument WAS that normal civilians would surely fire-to-kill without hesitation?
...no?
(rhetorical question... have a good life)
Anyone got a jackpot morning blowjob ever? (willpower +1)
I havent, ever!
Now Im sleeping with my best cocksuckers (80+) in search of the light, but no luck.
Also trying to improve their stats, but they suck so good I can barely stand a few clicks before cumming.

500 years is pretty far off on the less accurate side of the scale
... Sweden conquered Finland in the 1200s. The Karoliner were a thing in the late 1700s...My argument was "Sorry, but that's very historically inaccurate regarding Finland and Norway." And that's being generous and polite. If I made a point about psychological aspect of killing another human being and illustrated it by how nazis did it when they conquered Sweden in WWII, surely you would cry out: "Hey that's not true -nazis did NOT conquer Sweden in WWII"!?
But it's true this is kind of off-topic from game design point of view - the aim IMO would be to create an entertaining system with some meaningful tactical decisions while keeping things reasonably realistic and plausible
Also, as a couple of people pointed out:
- It's an entirely different thing to charge towards a row of muskets in the 1700s than it is towards modern automatic weapons (around that time, Scots highlanders had some success with the "Highland Charge", but the tactic backfired badly in the end)
- The scale in this game is not armies of thousands battling each other but smaller fights between max. 10 people
