I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
What’s your favorite stage of the game to play through?
I think mine is the early-mid game when you’re just starting to make it and are having battles with armies ranging from 75-150 troops in size.
Reasons being:
You can see the whole battle easily.
Your character can play a much more decisive role in the combat. You can also notice your companions more.
It’s not an all out brawl- moving a force of 15-20 skirmishers to flank can swing the whole battle. Same with cav, although cav charges remain supreme throughout the game.
Doing quests at this stage is still enjoyable and useful. Questing becomes obsolete once you reach a certain clan rank.
Your character is progressing a lot. Things get a bit stale once progression begins to grind to a halt… as nice as it is cutting swathes through enemy forces, having some challenge is nice.
Every stage has it’s ups and downs though, I would love to hear other opinions on this. Maybe I’ll be inspired to try a different kind of playthrough.
