I just created another character after a long while and I think the early game is pretty good... late game is too much of a chore for me and I don't see the point of losing so much work...
so my idea is just for the devs to show nomads some love, this is the early game that new players will face... keep making the nomad life a fun alternative, that would appeal to a lot of casual players like me, and new players would benefit too...
