Starting Guide

This is a Starting Guide for new players in character creation

I will be adding a text based guide soon.

Faction

1. Pick a faction based on an ability that will give you an in game advantage. E.g. +20% exp to troops is allot more useful than +10% speed when moving through woodlands.

2. Your height effects your movement speed, if you are really tall you will be able to move a little faster and you will have a slightly larger reach with your weapons. You will however be a bigger target to hit, since shields do not get bigger.

3. In the the video i go over all the starting skills and attributes and what you will find the most useful during gameplay. Combat is the most useful of all these skills, the rest can be skilled up later in the game.

For the people in the comments saying 'This is a bad guide and it's only the character creator.'
Yes, i'll give you this, the video may seem a little misleadingly titled at first, but i can sssure you all the information present in this video will be *crucial* to your enjoyment of the game. From how different skills work themselves, to how the learning limit and focus points system functions. This guide is an absolute must watch for anyone who is going into the game blind but does not want to be going in totally blind.

To be frank, without this guide, i can absolutely promise you that you will completely fuck up and ruin at least one if not *multiple* save files, losing potentially dozens of hours of gameplay if you go into this game completely blind without knowing anything and/or having played the first M&B.

Also, as someone who put oodles of hours into M&B Warband, i was still very happy to have this video to watch while M&B Bannerlord downloaded.
