Nice graphics, nice setting, easy combat, lots of farmer accents.

So far I like, it all feels very Terry Pratchet/Harry potter. Mainly because of the accents, still cool game so far.

I got my guy an oriental moustache and everyone keeps calling him ugly. I swear the next person to laugh at him is gonna get my katana sword up their jacksey. Everyone keeps calling me Chicken Chaser for some reason, probably because I keep punting them around everywhere.

I've tried to hold back on killing people for no real reason so far, god knows I came close to killing one guy though as he just wouldn't shut up about fishing. Instead I farted at him and stole his bed for the night, tried flirting with him also but he just laughed at me.

The world's a lot bigger than I expected, haven't actually come across any villages yet as I've been mainly kicking bandits asses in the woods.

Still, I like so far.

A quick way of nmaking money is buying a house, putting your trophies on the plaques, selling the hose (at an inflated price), breaking into the house and stealing your trophies back. The better the trophy, the more the value increases.

It's a bit tedious, but if you really want that master greathammer...

Not that I did, though. Honest.

Trading between the shops works a treat if you can find the right items. I find red meat, cider and beer kegs can be picked up in some areas for next to nothing and then sold in others for about 6 times the price you originally paid.

Oh and another good earner is renting out houses, oh and don't forget that you get quite a large amount of money everytime you get married. Gotta be the only game on the planet where if you do it right, you can really make a lot of money on beating up your wife.

It doesn't seem to hurt that Midsummer Murders tv show. You'd think people would stop moving to that area by now what with the extraordinary death rate there

Okay then.

Question: What's the best way of making money without doing the missions. I'm just not in the mood to do missions, and my two current objectives are a pain in the backside.
