Some feedback from someone who refunded

[scythe111]

A friend of mine refunded the game, and I thought his feedback was valuable. He was too frustrated to post, so I'm doing it for him. Of note, he had never played previous M&B titles.

1. He felt stat leveling was too slow. He played for a few hours and never got his 1H weapon higher than 16. He had been playing tournaments a bit (and winning) I checked, and he had 3 vigor, 1 focus, so tournament XP must be turned off. But even so, stat leveling is just painfully slow.
2. Enemy respawn is too fast. He was capturing enemy lords in an attempt to make taking land possible, but they'd escape and come back immediately. He found this very frustrating.
3. Taking out "dependent" villages from a city doesn't negatively affect the AI's garrison like it does in player-controlled cities. Realizing the AI was playing under different rules is what finally made him alt-f4.

Hope this helps, devs.

As a side note, point #2 is improved with the "Bannerlord Tweaks" mod. I recommend it to others for sure!

I forgot to add: He was also frustrated by the confusing banner requirements. He wasn't sure which settlements were imperial and which weren't, so when he capped his first one and found it wasn't imperial, it bothered him a lot that he still couldn't start a kingdom. Might be best to just remove that requirement.
