Courting a lady is absurd and desperately needs some simple reforms

having to pass a dozen speech checks without failing a single one or you get permanently locked out is the most anti -fun thing imaginable. if they really want to hang on to the speech check mechanic for this. you should simply need to meet a specific total quantity of speech checks passed over time, and every once and a while you meet with your girl and get a chance to pass one and make progress towards that threshold. if you fail well better luck next time

As it stands, I just had an incident where I wanted to pass the current system, each check was 70-90% chance of success, we had traits in common, I had decent charm, and even with all of this it STILL took me save scumming over half a dozen times just to pass ONE of the two humiliation rituals the game subjects you to

something more managable like the above changes are all thats really needed, at this point i will just settle for something that actually works. but fuck it, if you want to make this a real mount and blade game, we can bring back poems you learn from taverns too, and if you match the right poem to a girl with the right trait, you get an auto pass on one speech check that will help you progress faster through the relashionship. maybe bring back tournament dedications that do the same or at least increase your relations.

I normally avoid savescumming like the plague but I truly cannot abide the current system for relashionships without it
