Hi,
I suspect this has been discussed before but i am crap at using the Search feature. So here goes:
What is the Persuasion skill good for? AFAIK, you only get to use it while trying to collect debts on behalf of other lords. And, most of the time, it fails. The difference between offering 700 denars and 640 (or whatever) to complete the quest and gather the goodwill is minimal.
I've done this kind of quest for a couple of people i wanted to get friendly with, paid my 700 denars and got most of it back when being given my cut from the debt collection.
So... what's the point of the skill?
BUT... If the world of M&B was to evolve a bit more and we'd get a bit more diplomacy/strategic options, i think that skill should be made dead-useful.
TBH, i looked at some of the mods - i am not sure at all how to install any of these or whether we need to pay for them. But i can tell you that while some look gorgeous/are very nice developments, i'd love to see Native pushed a bit more.
How come you can have some formations in Swadian Civil War but not Native? Is it because you pay to get Civil War? (i.e. a question of business model?) How come you can blast castle doors in some mods but not Native? Etc etc.
Sorry, that was an aside - I meant, would the time of the developpers not be best spent upgrading Native rather than developping too many new mods?
I'm a newbie so, if anything i said, is really stupid, please put it down to inexperience rather than true intellectual default!
