No one is interested or asks about this, but right now I am having a blast with ACOK 8.0 !
Created a character, the goal, as I like to set it, was to prevent King's Landing from falling (except to Player's forces).
300-sometning days later, my character's fledgling faction is threatened by the impending war with the huge Westerlands, who control more land than the Vale initially and have no serious enemies (Riverlands and Dragonstone reduced to 1 castle each (and even those I have provided for them in the North, Reach signed a peace treaty and is another superpower, Stormlands retreating to Essos (again to a remote castle I've provided for then in Norvoshi lands), and King's Landing was not taken by anyone, hence Myrcella is alive. Oh, Lord Commander Mormont and King Stark do not fare as well, both murdered by their own people).
Ah... Is not this true entertainment, to command a team of 29 immortal machine-gunners longbowmen, to court and marry a beautiful green-eyed southern lady, to help peaceful peasants fend off bandits just before the harvesting season?
(Ah, yes, I do use some tweaks, major being having all the companions and not any shield-bash.)
