Working out how to use a torch in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is pretty vital, especially in a game as dark as this one where you'll frequently find yourself exploring gloomy caves or wandering through woods at nighttime. If you want to avoid strolling off a cliff, or straight into a wolf den, grab a torch.
More importantly, it's illegal not to carry a torch at nighttime in KCD2. You might have found yourself confused as to why guards kept accosting you when you were innocently lurking at the Troskowitz trader's backdoor. If you're sneaking around and staying away from guards while doing some crimes, you definitely don't want a torch equipped as they tend to make you more visible—being made of fire and such.
