Why had the murderer to be killed? Poor man, I know he had to be punished but he was also a member of Gunter's family... . And I can't truly understand the behaviour of Gunter's mother... She loved him but she treated him bad because she couldn't say he was her son? Hmm... maybe she was still confussed because she was raped and became pregnant . I wonder if she is going to change her behaviour now that Gunter is going to be the heir of the family...

The year is 1301, and a knight was killed. No matter what circumstances, the killer would ALWAYS have to face capital punishment as long as the death was not the result of a battle or duel. In fact, the Middle Ages knew some deliciously painful ways of capital punishment, and a swift and rather painless death was an immensely humane way for those days.

As for Margarete's behavior: it was not so much about the rape but more the disappointment that Johann wouldn't accept her son as his successor. As he confessed in the end, with Gunther out of the house, he'd be free to have sons with other women. Margarete took her hatred of Johann out on Gunther.

Oh - and if you wonder what's going to happen next in Gunther's life: I'm already thinking about a sequel...

But the lord seemed to be a kind of forgiving fellow, you know...
He could still feel affection for the son of her wife's raper. At that time it wouldn't have been so strange that he would have killed her wife, the child and the raper to clean his honor.
A sequel? These are good news

When talking to Katarina in the chapel, I chose to say to her mother than she felt sorry for me. Proper dialog ensues, but then, after
"I was waiting for more, but Lady Margarete left without another word of explanation."
I get
"So you are saying that it is my fault that you have to bring shame upon my daughter."
which sounds like what would happen with one of the other choices.

When accusing Lord Burkhard, the image of the jar is called with "jar" and seems not to exist.

When accusing Karolina : NameError: name 'dissolv' is not defined

My suspicions have been on Master Dietrich since my first game... and it seems like the one who has the most clues against him. But.... but there is no apparent motive (except for the one of wanting to keep Gunther at the stables).
Out of spite and curiosity, I tried a few other people (as you could see from the debugging XD) and it was amusing to see how, indeed, each one had an alibi (not always obvious, but always logical).

Now though, I keep going through again and again, focusing on the Master...... and maybe that's where I'm wrong, but I can't help but think that he is the one... I mean, why would I strangely die only when I've faced him with my suspicions? :3...
So ... All that is left is to find the motive. And I really have no idea what's missing :/... it's not like there are a ton of actions too @_@...

My current path is : get Thekla to talk about her night with Burkhard. Then ask that one about Walther's company... Then talking about this new clue to Master Dietrich. Then there's the scene with Karolina and Margerete where I don't really see anything special... (and I bet that's where I'm missing something). Then Harald, whom I don't shake too much lest I end up with a game over. That leaves me with many clues, but no motive, and the Lord is not pleased ...

Here's what I did to get to Dietrich's true ending:
1-Get Thekla to talk about the elderly knight.
2-Get said elderly knight to allow you to see the body one last time (blackmailing him, obviously).
3-Ask Dietrich who could have known Sir Walther.
4-Ask how Lady Margarete feels about Sir Walther.
5-Tell Harald someone else could have put the jug there.
6-Choose Dietrich as the killer.

If you follow the steps earlier but choose Harald as the killer, at one point Lord Johann says the following:
Look Gunther, you will have to accept that Sir Walther is dead. Nothing will bring him back. Not even killing another person. And especially not my daughter.

That last sentence looks quite out of place.

I solved it in my first attempt, but couldn't find the motive... It took me a little while to find out the right story, but the fact that whenever I told him my suspicions I would end up dead was certainly helpful! Actually, that is the one small bone I have to pick with this game. Why would Dietrich kill Gunther? First he doesn't seem very much of a killer, Sir Walther's death being more of an accident than anything else. Then there is the fact that Dietrich seems to like Gunther and Johan's family... Maybe the reason to put that twist there was more gameplay-related than story related? Nevertheless, it's a very good game and I enjoyed it very much!
