Choosing Stats at the Campsite
During the conversation with your men at the campsite, there are a ton ofspeech checks that focus on increasing specific stats and skills.Let’s discuss each option available, and you can decide which is best for your specific playstyle.
First, you must decide betweenStrength, Agility, Vitality,andSpeechstats. Here is what each of these stats focuses on:
Description
Strength and its level mainly affect your weapon control and the damage you inflict using melee attacks, as well as the power of your unarmed attacks. It also increases your carrying capacity, allows you to fully draw powerful bows and makes it easier to move and fight in heavy armor.
As your level of Agility increases, your melee weapon attacks will cost less Stamina and be somewhat faster, as will drawing a bow. Your movement will also be quicker, you will suffer less damage from falls, perform better at stealth, and handle heavy armor more effectively, and your dodges in combat will be generally more effective and easier to execute.
Your level of Vitality primarily affects your Stamina reserve and the rate of its recovery in and out of combat. It allows you to run and fight longer, attack more frequently, and withstand more blows. Your level of rest will also decrease more slowly.
Speech will assist you most in conversations. The higher your level, the more likely you are to succeed in skill checks, which will aid you in your adventures, save you time or help you gain greater rewards. As for money, your Speech will also make haggling easier.
Next, you’ll have to pick between theHoudmaster, Stealth,Survival,and Scholarship skills. We have a description of each below, to help you make a choice.
Houdmaster
Increases the effectiveness of your dog, making it more obedient, stronger in combat, and slower to tire when hunting.
The higher your skill, the less noise you make when sneaking, and the harder it will be for enemies to see and detect you. You will also find it easier to avoid complications on the move when using fast travel.
The higher your skill, the easier it will be to hunt wild game and obtain more meat from it. Gathering herbs will also be quicker, and using fast travel will make it easier for you to escape ambushes and other pitfalls.
Scholarship
The more scholarly you are, the faster you will read books and the easier it will be to understand their contents. Scholarship can also come in handy in all sorts of situations and conversations.

The higher your skill, the more powerful and faster your attack will be when unarmed, and the harder it will be to defend against them.
Marksmanship
A higher skill level will manifest primarily in having a steadier hand when aiming, making it easier to aim and hit.
After making adjustments to your stats, Lord Hans and you will go for a swim in the lake nearby. This leads to the next sequence in the quest, which we cover in the next section.
Surviving the Chase
While swimming in the water, Lord Hans hears of a woman in the distance and asks you to join him in tracking her down.This is where the game teaches you the stealth mechanic, teaching you how tocrouch down and sneak. Do this bypressing down on the right analog stick.
Eventually, you and Hans will be sighted by enemy soldiers, resulting in a chase sequence against them. All you need to do here isstay crouched and follow Lord Hans through the woods, listening to his commands.
Lord Hans will eventually tell you to run, which you should do so right away byexiting crouch (R3)and thensprinting (L3).Continue sprinting and following Lord Hans until you reach a fork in the road, where he’ll need to take a break and rest up against a rock.

Next,take a right leading into the narrow passageuntil your character mentions that we need to go back to Lord Hans. When you return, though, two soldiers are in his place, and Lord Hans is missing.
This is when you need toturn around and sprint through the canyon passage until you reach the end. Luckily, Lord Hans is waiting for you at the end of the path, confirming that he got away from those two soldiers.
After following Lord Hans for just a bit longer, a cutscene will commence and a battle with a guard follows shortly after. Don’t worry too much;this is an incredibly easy fightthat only takes a few swings of the sword.
Once you kill the guard, another cutscene will begin, and the Easy Riders quest will conclude. Unfortunately, no worthy rewards areprovided for completing this quest.
