Or you could just add a few mods to the game and fix most of the major issues.
That is what I did and I am currently having the best play through that I have ever had in my entire experience with this franchise. Hell for the first time I am finding the game truly challenging, hell more than challenging, my faction is about to lose, despite my support. I think I am going to have to betray my faction by jumping ship to another Kingdom or starting my own kingdom but I don't think my Kingdom is going to survive the onslaught or even if they do, be able to come back from losing 2/3rd or more of their fiefs....possibly including the 2 cities and 2 castles I currently own.
Honestly, I am having the most amazing game ever....after just Bannerlord Tweaks using the default setting and a few other mods that just add quality of life.
