Best Personal Tenets

[Sledjer]

Now that the dust is beginning to settle on the DLC, what personal tenets do you all think the best?

Personally I'm thinking the tons of lifestyle XP from Megalithic Constructions and the 100% imprisonment chance from Religious Law make those both OP champions, but I'd be excited to hear about others if you've found any.

Esoterism is pretty good. Getting the wise man trait just for selecting it is quite useful, especially if your character is investing in the learning lifestyle tree. (personally I try to make this one popular so that it never gets banned by the Pope. Though I rarely have to do much. The AI seems to like it too)

I forget the name of them but there's one that gives you the inspection activity, which is pretty nice for a development boost. You can also use that to raise popular opinion in a pinch.

I think there's others for the other activities tied to the wandering lifestyle tree but hell if I can remember their names. I'm pretty sure there's one for hiking, (hikes work nicely with wise man fyi), but I can't recall if there's one for monument expeditions.

Honestly I'm still experimenting with them myself so I'm sure there's more that I've just overlooked.

If you're going for the wise man trait, personally I think Anachoresis/Vita Eremitica is better. Picking it directly gives you the wise man trait, but it also unlocks and buffs meditate in seclusion which is a free source of piety and periodically gives learning or reduces stress.

All depends on what kind of game your playing.. The ones that give the Wise Man trait and Meditate in Seclusion are nice.. If your warring or raiding a lot, Blot or Gruesome Festival are GREAT for captives(so so many captives with it on when playing a Asatru char that it feels more than 25% chance), Ritual Hospitality is nice if you go to India to get it with boost to PIety, Prestige, making friends at feasts and recuiting guests...

Honestly if the devs did one thing right with this DLC, I say its the personal tenets.. There are so many options, the effects of them are mostly all good depending on your situation.. Sure some are better than others but they all got their purpose
