Just a point of note the game itself is not simply, "You have a mercenary party, and you have to hunt down outlaw." The game allows you to choose from a myriad of different starting points, whether you're a band of deserters, you're wild men on the hunt, whether you're a set of gladiators looking for more fame and fortune beyond the walls of the arena. You could even start as a motley crew of a band of peasants rising up against their lords.
No two runs are ever going to turn out the same. You're gonna be chasing down undead, hunting bandits or seeking to burn camps of goblins or orcs. You could focus on trading and amass your wealth that way. You could wind up embroiled in a war between the main factions.
There is far more to this game than is presented in the article, and I would encourage as many people as possible to give it a shot. Seek your own path to fame and fortune.
May the blessings of Anselm be upon you.
