Laboring for Troubadours, Only to Receive a Terrible Song
The quaint town of Želejov, boasting a bathhouse, fighting arena, and tavern, is home to two indolent troubadours dreaming of Bohemian musical domination. Their ambition, however, is hampered by a lack of funds, an instrument, and any discernible artistic vision.

Henry, eager to assist, undertakes a series of increasingly ridiculous tasks. He steals a lute (damaging his reputation), only for the bards to break the strings and demand replacements made from sheep intestines. Further errands – settling debts, hauling sacks – finally equip the duo. Their reward? A soul-crushingly boring song about Henry's menial tasks. The locals cringe, and I laughed uncontrollably.
Rescuing an Alcoholic Hunter... and Delivering Him Straight to the Tavern
Those lute strings? Crafted by the inebriated hunter, Vojtěch, who, after a wolf encounter, found himself perched precariously in a tree. The quest involves rescuing him, saving his horse, and helping him sober up. However, I chose to fulfill his actual desire: delivering him to the nearest tavern.

Carrying the disgruntled Vojtěch through forests and swamps, I delivered him to his desired destination, only to be met with a torrent of abuse. He refused further assistance and limped off. Our next encounter? A grudging offer of a scenic view behind his shack.
Confronting the Polovtsians, Only to Philosophize with a Dog

The Polovtsians, responsible for devastating Henry's hometown, were found causing a ruckus in a tavern. My initial rage quickly dissipated as I discovered their surprisingly sociable nature. Soon, I was matchmaking, drinking, and even singing with them. Then, a philosophical dog interrupted, challenging me to a swim across a lake. I survived, laughing hysterically.
Going Rogue as a Thief and Paying the Price

After mastering stealth, a single botched heist turned me into Bohemia's most wanted. A seemingly insignificant detail – failing to remove incriminating accessories – led to my near arrest. The game's attention to detail is astonishing.
Selling a Stolen Horse and Meeting Gypsies

A stolen horse, a sleeping gypsy horse trader, and a runaway steed created a hilarious, dawn-delayed transaction. Even minor actions have unexpected, comical consequences.
