crossbow is sad and oxbow map is sad, killing everyones pigs is sad

[egg]

the advantage to a crossbow is that you can load it, and then carry it around and then shoot it whenever you are ready, with the trigger. you don't need to draw it and load it before it is ready to shoot, you can carry it draw, loaded and ready to fire.

but in this game, if you load a crossbow, then switch to your axe to chop a tree or something, then back to your crossbow, your character has unloaded the crossbow for some reason, and you have to draw and load it again.

this isn't good. especially while being attacked by bandits or animals.

can the loaded state of crossbows please be remembered on weapon switch? otherwise i don't even wanna use one, it's just so sad and bad, especially if you love crossbows.

second, can we have a map that isn't full of tiny towns? with bigger towns? more character to each one, too, cos none of them are memorable or interesting imho..

my friend and i started in the beginning town, and we were like, oh, this place is nice, i guess, a bit gross, and tiny, and has nothing cept for some peasants and we can't sell any stolen goods here. so let's go off to the other towns, surely at least one of them is bigger.

nope. turns out you start in the biggest town and the 5 red highlighted areas on the map are incredibly depressing little mud-holes populated by a handful of mud farmers and hardly worth the walk.

thirdly... ugh... can we at least have an option to enable killing of these people? ;p you know everyone wants to.

the dynasty system needs an improvement = maybe a crime system should go alongside and be separate to a reputation system.
with bounty and guards at the (cough, improved, larger) towns. maybe even bounty hunters who go after you at your own settlement or house.
i should also be attacked and/or given bounties for being caught slaughtering peoples pigs and cows etc like you can do presently. this action can be done without any reaction (beyond loss of the imaginary dynasty points, of which my friend and i very quickly stopped caring about and got to more than -2500 before we got bored)

1) having a pre-drawn crossbow on you while doing other stuff seems like a good way to hurt yourself; while i wouldn't mind this small QoL, but you can always HEAR or see animals before they atack and thus prepare your shot

2) imo pistovia (the starting town) is large enough. the game is about building up your own village and the other villages give you traders, quests and an idea of what is available (or teases you with stuff that isn't)
- an actual city would not have undeveloped land nearby you could build up your own village on and would very likely impact the performance of the game

3) this game is about peacefully building up a village as a peasant. not sure about what comes with the "armor"-update from the roadmap, but i doubt this game is going to have larger conflicts, especially against the established villages or its inhabitants. if you were to kill a villager the rest would surely banish you from the realm, which is also what happens if your dynasty reputation reaches -10.000 iirc
have you tried to invite another NPC into your village? because that will not be possible with negative reputation as the requirement increases for every NPC you hired.

1.) For "loving" crossbows, you don't seem to understand how they work. Walking around with a loaded crossbow on your back is beyond stupid.

2.) These are medieval peasant villages. What are you expecting? What else would you add that wouldn't just be filler that adds absolutely nothing to the game?

3.) This game was created as a peaceful city builder/simulator. If that isn't your cup of tea, them move on. Basically every other medevil game you can go around murdering people. Absolutely no reason to add it to this game.
Why are gamers so fascinated with murdering people anyway? Do people play SimCity and demand guns and murder? Because that's basically what you are saying.
