Need advice Im a warband veteran but Im really struggling to get into bannerlord because of the giant amount of options compared to the previous game

I love warband because it’s simple and easy to understand once you play for a few hours, there’s a meta that’s easy to achieve for the majority of modules including vanilla, you just win tournaments and then buy property and rinse and repeat until you can afford a giant scary army then steamroll the continent. It’s fun and simple. Then I excitedly bought bannerlord only to be met with a ton of added complexity, including multiple different characters in each city with independent quests and relationship numbers, blacksmithing, crime mechanics with crime lords and crime stats and options to scam people and pickpocket, tons of changes to the majority of warband mechanics, and probably a lot more I didn’t even encounter in my brief playtime / see any of in the few videos I watched. Not to mention the combat is now both more complex and more difficult, in warband you could solo like 100 people with a greatsword without taking like any damage, doesn’t really work out in bannerlord.

So yeah, I desperately need help on wtf to do. I would like to get a hang of the vanilla experience before adding a ton of mods or anything like that. If you can and are willing, please just give some general advice, a list of the few most important changes and additions, and a short (somewhat detailed) guideline of what I should be trying to do to, like “you wanna focus on doing x and x, so do xxx here and then bring that to x so you can x and then x while you’re there and do x and x at the same time” or something like that. All I’ve been doing is riding around killing small groups of bandits and selling the loot but that’s not particularly fun and it’s not really getting me anywhere.
