Anyone tried the new Fast mode? I like it, I think I will play it from now on

I like that you ear EXP faster and generation gameplay is interesting. But at the same time, like it is with many features with bannerlord, upon closer inpection there are some annoyances that you have to deal with.

When companions die of old age you get just notification and I didn't even notice that 2 died on me. They are burried with their equipment, that means... that Lordly/Masterpiece gear you gave them and Legendary weapons you crafted are gone. So now after they are at age of +70 I took away their armor and stationed them in my capital. "Retirement". I didn't quite felt like I want to use new ones in my army... since I can't be bothered leveling them up again.

While AI asks my dathers all the time for marriage, which I refuse to accept since I don't want to lose "min-maxed" characters. I struggle to figure out how to marry my son and now after my MC death - brother so he can have children as well.

I still played my first character for a long time since he lived from 20 to 73 which is +1000 days.

Well tbh, most issues I have in my playthrough when I returned to the game with Sails DLC, are issues that are in base game. Such an amazing game, but there are just so many little annyoances that creep up as you play, reminds me of Total war games - you start notice issues only after dozens of hours of gameplay.
