Busting bandit lairs broken in late game

[Fearghus The Killer]

Everyone has done the "destroy bandit lair" quest. You get +rep with the lord who requested and added renown (right?)

However, once you are the ruler of your own faction, you don't get quests from vassals when Lairs and Hideouts appear in your/their territory, but they have to be destroyed because they serve as a spawn point.

After destroying the 100th one as King I noticed that I get no bump in renown or even +rep with my kingdom. (Remember that your "audacious attack" was the "talk of the realm" when you were a feifless putz). If I had killed any other gang of 30-40 bandits in the open field with only 7 of my companions, I'd get some renown.

Anybody else notice this? Seems like a dev oversight to me.

Do you ever get any quests from your vassals as King? I've never really noticed. Anyway, that does seem weird, good catch.

Nah. And you can't give quests, either. Like "take care of your own bandit problem ..." But you can take quests from other lords not of your realm.

Also, do you notice that you don't get any post-battle XP or renown for siege defense?

Apparently it's not amazing if you fend off a 1600 vs 300 assault (such as when you're first starting your kingdom...).

I know that defending a castle is infinitely easier than assaulting one, but you should still get renown and post-battle XP when you successfully defend against large armies.

Back to the first post - yea, I agree with you.

Getting to be an old complaint. Before .126 you could successfully beseige and occupy a Castle or Town but you had no chance of capturing the 12 beat-down lords laying in the courtyard. Now you have that and some booty.
