I'm not sure why some people are having such a problem with this game i think it improves in every way to the last feudalism. I like the bounty hunter style missions much better than the boring delivery or generic bandit missions. Also i never really cared for the horses and buying tons of potions seemed cheap so i'm glad all that's gone as well. The only thing i miss is the boss style fights when attacking the main town of a faction there was much more of a sense off accomplishment that way.
