This game will probably never be what I want it to be so I mod it and enjoy the bits that I can. I still can’t help wishing for more. I find myself wandering the game lately unable to decide on a place to put down roots. Most recently I was up north sitting on a windswept cliff observing the Cimmerian village and musing about the game.
I find myself wishing for a bigger map and more content. More settlements, more random mob encounters, wandering merchant caravans, etc.
I can’t stand the crafting system in this game. I play with a loot mod that makes humanoid mobs drop what they’re carrying. I like looting everything I need and living a nomadic lifestyle. However this leads me to avoiding areas devoid of humanoid mobs because there’s nothing for me there.
That being said I sometimes find myself wishing I could gain reputation with one of the groups. Perhaps by wearing Cimmerian gear they’d let me in the village and I could raid the Vanir/Aesir encampments to gain rep with Cimmerians. I find myself wandering around Sepermeru and wishing they had npc merchants where I could buy and sell goods.
I find myself wanting to build my own city and hire my own npc merchants(or build a dungeon/lair and recruit monsters). Maybe trade with other cities and settlements. Maybe go to war with them.
They added tree houses. What about a floating dock kind of city that can be built on the water’s surface? And fishing and ocean monsters and aquatic life.
Anyways yeah, just wanting a different gameplay loop and end goals.
