Help a brother out
Medium term player here, 350 ish hours, 3 plays made it through the first crisis, all DLC, and recent convert tp Reforged.
I love this game, i love reforged, i hate dagger cheese so i use battlefield cleanup mod for that and for realism.
That being said, i loathe the start. New game, shit bros, restart, shit map, restart, shit bros and map, restart, and so on. Finally get one worth starting, and then i really struggle mentally with the early game. Once i get to tier 2 weapons and raider gear the game comes alive for me. But throwing fodder bros at axes and spears, kmowing im wasting xp and money and time on them is tough for me mentally.
Any ideas on how i can overcome the early game malaise? Once i have a roster of at least 5 or 6 usable bros im off and racing, but getting there is rough. Any advice welcome. (Btw i love gladiator, poacher, lone wolf, northern raiders and standard starts usually cos they start with decent bros but open to anything)
