I was wondering.. what activities do you guys like to do in the early game? (When you have a small party, little to no money)
From my list, I have the following:
1. Making money (ofc) - trading and making profit was never my thing in Warband and in the current version of Bannelord is worst I think. I mean, the only way to know how to make some profits by buying low and selling high is by asking around caravans. Is there another way?
2. Improving your character - fighting to be exact. But, being in the early game, with low tier troops, I can fight only bandit parties and maybe ambush some hideouts (which atm are boring tbh). Also, bandit parties don't scale up (Like they do in Viking Conquest). So, it gets boring to fight parties of 3-10, sometimes maybe up to 30 low tier bandits.
3. Making relations with villages and lords - making side quests to improve relations so that you can recruit higher tier troops. The problem with this one is that, imo, lords are hard to come by..
Atm the early game seems like a hard grinding game.. I like that, but quests and battles are quite repetitive and boring.
And I'm not saying this because I don't like the game. I know it's EA. I will never lose hope for Bannerlord and Taleworlds.
Anyway.. what are your goto activities? Maybe I just don't know what to do.
