1) Conquest of City quests cancels when i actually took that castle. I summoned the army, i did the siege, i won the siege and the quest was canceled.
2) Smithing.
You removed a console command to unlock all recipes for crafting...Yet, the crafting system is still polluted with good-for-nothing parts, like pommels for javelins and spears. All of these parts i have to unlock through RNG. All kinds of pommels, handles, guards for swords which only have cosmetic differences i have to unlock. Through RNG.
item specifications are being reset to default every time i craft an item. I have to copy-paste an item every time because an alternative to that is to pick item parts manually after each forging.

if you touch smithing, then why don't you do that in full? easily 60%+ of crafting parts for weapons do NOTHING.
In BL total value of any action is what brings a player experience. We do more damage, we gain skills faster, which means i will gain more exp swinging two-handed axe rather than using a spear because each swing of an axe does x2 x3 more damage therefore i gain x2 x3 more exp. If we sell a horse we would gain more exp than selling 100 units of grain. If we craft or smelt high-value items it will bring more exp to smithing and the chance to unlock a new recipe will be higher. Crafting some one-handed axe with basic parts would not provide enough exp to smithing and to parts unlock chance because it is not how it works, and yet "The crafting experience and research points needed to unlock new parts gains received from the "Free Build" have been greatly reduced.". Fulfilling the orders from NPCs will never, ever be just as efficient as to simply craft and smelt high-value items.
p.s. oh oh another thing to note. I can't fulfil certain smithing orders from NPC because i simply did not unlock parts needed to fulfil that order and because "The crafting experience and research points needed to unlock new parts gains received from the "Free Build" have been greatly reduced." i still have grind through RNG. Why it should be such a chore every time?
