That will actually be in an upcoming patch - because of the complaintsDo not look here said:
The reason merchants don't have signs is it wasn't used back then. People knew each other and where places were
The quest specifically says "house on the pier (or is it wharf?)", and you're looking straight at it when spawning in the town centre.Do not look here said:
Again I've tried making it very easy.
You've played too many modern RPGs where the only brain activity needed is to modify the game to your liking
I actually don't, precisely because they've started calling good ol' hack'n'slashes "fully fleshed RPGs". When I've spawned I saw many similar houses practically on each wharf (yeah, that was the word, thank you). I haven't thought to myself "well, let's check the first one I saw", it was "that's a lot of houses to check, better be methodical about it".
Well, I understand that people knew each other, but I haven't got that feeling. Actually, remembering that first quest, I thought I'll be able to just ask around the town where the desired person is. If any in-game townsman would point me at right direction I'd be more than happy. Believe me, I found it cringe-worthy when TLD team decided to put in option to make all the NPCs available on city screen from the go and I enjoy greatly roaming the scenes in your game, but that one thing is annoying. I'm a foreigner, I don't "know people and places". If signs are problem, I'd prefer being able to ask around or pay 15 pennings or so to some random kid to run aimlessly more or less in right direction.

Yes, that's the thing I've tried in Hogni's case. Except then you can't do this and instead of searching through few houses I had accurate description of, I've tried going from door to door in whole town - and still eventually missed one that I was supposed to look for.

Leave town/village and enter again. You will restart at the spawn center and you should be close to it.
Its not that bad guys. In 99 I was playing a MMORPG (first generation) that didnt have maps. You had to explore the world, run from mobs and try to find the next town. It was called a adventure!
Course now we have WOW and everything is spoon fed
You know what guys? Yeah, I want everything spoon-fed to me now. I also complain that my enemies don't jump into the water in naval battles and that enemy shieldwall doesn't walk backward toward me, so that my archers would have field day with 'em. It would be also nice if all the konungrs or however you should go plural with that word would just stop being lazy asses and start doing all the quests for me.
Finally, I'd like an option to slap some reason into Jarl of Kennemer so he just delivers Sven all tied up to the starting village and stop behaving like insane person. Yeah, that would be my favourite game, please make it so.
Also, don't forget about biggest spoon feeding ever, somehow marking the yet another same house that has "enter" dialogue box appearing only when really close to its door, that so happens to have a person I need to meet inside, so that I won't feel like, WARNING, offensive material ahead, Jehovah's witness, walking from closed door to closed door. Such an idiot, looking for a bigger house with some trading goods in front of it - and finding such - instead of shed that so happens to be close to town square.
Still love your game, though. And I'm deeply embarrassed for making a fuss over so tiny thing.

lol your sarcasm is worth a 10, well done
We need a feature that creates pink arrows in the scene map showing the way to the quest goal. Just make it toggleable. Everyone happy! Course that may not be possible with current WB engine tools... so add more help text to the npcs around the scene...
Or someone just create a walkthrough for the main quests. Post on a wiki. With screens and maps!

Anybody else having issues with not being able to recruit troops from settlements they own in 1.02 (even with good relations)? I think I know what is causing the problem, if you did not ask permission to recruit from the castles/town previous own then you will never be able to recruit from the settlement if you capture it.

Loving the game so far, crashes and unintelligible language sometimes besides, but I did notice one thing I haven't seen brought up.
In battle, after I give orders for my archers to stand ground, they won't move from that spot again during the battle even when given new commands. Sometimes the cavalry too. Infantry have no problem, they respond well.
I will say that I have to change the default settings for commands because on a MAC computer you have to press/hold fn (function) and then the corresponding F1-F12 keys to get them to work, and I don't have that many fingers! If only I had two thumbs for each hand. Don't know if this is the cause of my problems.
Cue the, "Well you shouldn't be playing a game on a MAC" responses now.
I also like the floating ships sometimes seen during naval battles, it reminds me of the movie "Yellowbeard" where he rides Bifrost to Vahalla in his warship. Wouldn't that be a battle! Fighting in the waves of a rainbow!!!
Wait a sec, I think I got movies mixed up... Erik the Viking! Both horribly great movies by members of Monty Python and others.
