Easily exploitable, is all. Put five companions in the tournament, you get six chances to win. It'd have to be balanced somehow.

Ye i agree, you hypothetically should be able to master everything, but it should be very timeconsuming to do. Sure sandbox is one thing, that doesn't mean that being a master of everything should just be a matter of a few hours of grinding. If it were, there would be no need to focus on anything, since it is so ez to just be good in everything. At that point it isn't roleplaying anymore, since you can fill any role, roleplaying necessitates some kind of limitation. If you are a jack of all trades you should be master of none and if you mastered a few skills you shouldnt be proficient with many other ones. As i said, hypothetically, since the game has no enddate, you should be able to master them all, but again, an incredible amount of time should be necessary for that.
The current hardcap of lvling and skills is just broken. I didnt experience it yet, since i dindt play a single campaign for more than 10 years, but from what i heard there comes a point where further lvling isn't even possible anymore, because of this convoluted system, so thats a big pile of crap that needs to fixed.

And yes, i totally agree with a revamp of the skilltrees overall. The combat skills seem ok, even though they certainly also could be tweaked, but all the social, intelligence,cunning stuff is absolute crap. Most are not implemented at all and even if they were, they are all over the place.
Why do i need 200 in trade to barter with fiefs, bartering with fiefs seems such a cool mechanic, but only those who grinded to 200 trade can do it. I could understand if it and barter in general would be way easier with high trade, but locking the mechanic altogether behind that absurdly high wall is just taking away fun from the player and makes no sense from a realistic/historic point of view.

Just do a few tournaments in Vlandia should be enough to get to 20.

The one that irks me the most is defeating a lord only to see him come back so quickly at the head of an army.
Keeping them prisoner is pointless as they escape way too quickly and execution relation hits are just not worth it imo.
The massed ranks of recruits also makes battles one sided once you have ranked up your troops.
If i raid a village or attack a caravan i get companions moaning andd take relation hits.
Enemy lords seem to be able to do these things without the negative effects.
I think enemy lords that constantly raid villages and caravans should get a trait that allows you to execute them for little to no loss.

Before I found this exploit, I leveled my charm on quests that required the use of dialogue options, like the Kidnapped Daughter and Family Feud. Also, there are chances for charm increase when dealing with enemy lords that are defeated in battle. Sure, you pass up on some money for selling them to the slavers, but you get increased charm and approval from their faction, which can be useful if you intend to start your own kingdom.

I would suggest joining an army as a mercenary earlier on and getting into battles. This should serve 3 purposes. Getting needed experience for your troops, offering your money and influence, and the chance to capture lords, which I found gave me several levels of charm early on by letting them go.

I won't disagree that there ought to be slightly higher gains in charm leveling, but I'd hate to see an exploit be used for that purpose. Anything resolving an issue with conversation instead of getting into combat boosts charm. Hope that helps some.
