So I gave up and conquered a little piece of England to call my own. Well since almost all of the Ragnarssons hated me because I got tired of fetch quests and political intrigue and did some actual raiding I can't even attempt that let alone find him. You're sabotaged and are then forced to track down one of the Ragnarssons. Speaking of the first raid that comes several hours in you don't even get to do it. Unsurprisingly they're constantly fighting with each other and bothering me with their repeated quips or asking me to run through camp to tell me something completely inconsequential or act like children again.

You're thrown a new damn companion every five minutes and by the time you're sent on an actual raid you've racked up at least 6 or 7. I actually really disliked the story line vs sand boxing. The towns are literally copy-pastas with nothing unique in them. Oh yes, the emptiness of this module, I literally feel being alone in this room, I cannot be immersed in the game, I get lost in the map and have to zoom in because of the fucking underbushes or w/e is placed there. (Please note you can toggle them off, but the mechanics are still visible) Stupid new toggle-able features for 'extra immersion'. You actually need to spend hundred of penis-money to persuade some elder before recruiting the farmers and paying for them again. The factions are numerous and small, with loads of troops, meaning that no real change is happening. The towns have weird names and are boring. The characters have weird names and are boring. The Tournaments are easy to exploit for easy money. I got Viking Conquest today, and I immediately regret getting it for full price off steam.
