Meeky Post +1 as well.
I have almost no problem with most of this. I’ve gotten very good at determining what contracts I finish and and can’t finish. I have only once, had to cancel a contract. And the very nature of this game is going to have 2 types of play, save scumming. Or Ironman’ing. Everyone is going to play the way they want.
P.s. I’ve been having a great time with throwing weapons. The core of my shield wall is made up of Witch Hunters (one town had 3 of them for hire!) They have good melee and ranged attack. Quick hands obviously. Anything without a shield dies before it get’s to make contact. Usually.
