1. Fixed? no? (with 1.1.0 beta, if you are on steam.)
2. yeah. Ive never bothered with smithing. Honestly I think they should add hiring a smith option or something, I mean the smith companions in the game are **** and need to level them manually anyways. I'm ruler with 100223134 Gold and I can't get someone to make me my custom weapon?
3. I agree about early game being most interesting. I dont think improved garrison solves that really. They were supposed to add claimant quests? Has that been forgotten?
4. yeah.
1. Yes, it´s correct that the first one will be fixed when 1.1 is released!
2. Honestly I will not play the game without unlimited smithing until it´s reworked completely, there is no way I´m spending my valuable game-time waiting in a settlement for a stamina-bar to fill up only to click a button 20 times and then re-do the same thing.
It doesn´t make sense that you can´t pay someone to create weapons either, completely agree with that. The smiting in itself and how you can create your weapons is rather good I´d say and being able to order a weapon would be very interesting.
3. Improves garrison doesn´t solve it completely but it makes it playable in my opinion. Being able to send out recruiters and have garrison armies following you is quite helpful to defend your land and even expand. I´m quite a casual gamer so I don´t mind it making it a bit simpler.
Thanks for tagging along to my thoughts.
