Lords have quests in Bannerlord aswell
I've seen 3 :
- Company of trouble : the quest nobody wants to make because your generally lose more than you win
- Spy party : never was able to finish it. I know it's been fixed (in theory) recently, i'll have to try it again
- Capture a person, i think.
In WB you could :
- Be asked to generate a war
- Raid a village, get some cattle, scout a bit, etc (marechal quests)
- Free a prisonner
- Collect taxes
- Bandit hideout
- Deliver letters (boring, but still)
- ...
I really like how they try to do more complex quests in bannerlord (army of poachers, rescue girl, family feud, all those quests have some nice dialog) but it looks like that prevents them from putting enough of them, so right now you have to do 15 family feuds and 20 daughter rescues in the early game, and it's really tedious.
I loved all those new quests the first 3 times i did them, but then they become such a chore...
