Others, like вЂњFamily FeudвЂќ or helping merchants break the law to sell stolen goods, usually arenвЂ™t worth the effort, and have a higher chance of hurting your relationships with local leaders. Helping villagers with nearby bandits also tends to be pretty straightforward and quickly accomplished.

вЂњKill the poachersвЂќ is always a good one because you can try to talk your way out of it. You can acquire a small handful of rotating quests from each settlement, but some are a lot more worth your time than others. Screenshot: TaleWorlds Entertainment Not all side-quests are created equal. You can always part ways with some later, replacing them with other fighters more suited to your playstyle in the meantime theyвЂ™ll be a huge help. Each has different specialities-some might help you heal more quickly after battles, others will better wield certain weapons-and theyвЂ™re all stronger in combat than regular units. You can enlist named characters who hang out in taverns to join your cause. But both of the two main starting quests-increasing your clanвЂ™s renown, and finding information about an ancient artefact-have big payoffs that will help your clan grow bigger and more powerful much faster than anything else in the game, as well as unlock the more interesting management sim aspects, like high-level policy making and intra-kingdom diplomacy. You start off chasing one group of bandits and before you know it youвЂ™ve spent an hour clearing the nearby hills of brigands and selling your hard-won loot to nearby villages. This sounds like a no-brainer, but the big appeal of Bannerlord is how its open world pulls you in a hundred different directions at once. Screenshot: TaleWorlds Entertainment Do the main quests.
