5Create A Custom Dragonrider
Start Out With Nothing But A Dragon Or Even An Egg & Conquer Westeros
Becoming a Dragonrider inCK3 AGOTis easily one of the most fun things about the mod, and withRoads to Power, players can combine this with Landless gameplay. To do so, create a custom Landless Adventurer and select the Dragonrider Trait.
When the game starts, players can then choose if they want an egg, a dragon horn, or a living dragon of any size. The world is then their oyster, and with a dragon, they will even have a special casus belli that allows them to conquer any realm.
4Vargo Hoat ‘The Goat’ of The Brave Companions
Sellsword Companies Can Dictate Wars & This One Is Notoriously Vicious
There are plenty of sellsword companies available to start as in Essos, and fans oftheA Song of Ice and Firebookswill recognize many names. One of the most fun to play as is the Brave Companions, led by the infamously vicious Vargo Hoat. He is often known as ‘the Goat’ in reference to his birthplace of Qohor.
Due to the atrocities committed by the Brave Companions, players could have fun with the Freebooters Camp Purpose, partaking in criminal contracts and torturing prisoners they capture. Vargo Hoat is also known by some as ‘the Crippler’ for chopping off the hands and feet of these prisoners. Jaime Lannister is a notable victim. Vargo Hoat has all the fitting Traits for an evil playthrough, and even has his iconic lisp.
3Daemon II Blackfyre
Restart The Blackfyre Rebellion Or Travel As Tourney Knight
Playing as a Blackfyre is always going to be fun, and in the new Shadows of Ashford bookmark forCK3 AGOT, it is now possible to play as Daemon II Blackfyre. With his uncle Bittersteel at his side, Daemon could attempt to avenge his father’s death andrestart the Blackfyre Rebellion.
Another option is to travel incognito as a tourney knight, just as Daemon did in theDunk & Eggbooks, under the name Ser John the Fiddler. This is certainly one of the most fun things to do as Landless Adventurers inCK3 AGOT and there are a lot of roleplay opportunities for Daemon.
2Prince Viserys & Daenerys Targaryen
Try To Claim The Birthright Of These Two Exiled Targaryens
In the aftermath ofRobert’s Rebellion, two Targaryens were able to escape, Prince Viserys and the newly born Princess Daenerys. Players can now start as young Viserys, who has no land or title, and little gold to speak of. They will begin their journey in Pentos, and have many years to build up power and forge alliances.
Naturally, the plan is to eventually reclaim their Targaryen birthright, and because of this, they start out with the Legitimist Camp purpose. This gives them a few unique features to help them achieve their goals, but with Viserys being no more than a boy, things will not be easy. If things ever get really rough, they can sell their mother’s crown as Viserys was forced to do in the books.
1Ser Duncan The Tall
Explore Westeros As The Hedge Knight, Compete In Tourneys & Train Egg As A Squire
As themain character of the prequel seriesA Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which is also being adapted for TV, it is of little surprise that Ser Duncan the Tall is one of thebest Landless Adventures inCK3 AGOT. His adventure picks up in the aftermath of the Tourney at Ashford, where Ser Duncan proved his valor, while also gaining a rival for life in Aerion ‘Brightflame’.
At Dunk’s side, is Egg, who would go on to become Aegon V Targaryen, and the newly dubbed knight is charged with training the young boy as a squire while teaching him to be an honorable man. Of course, players can do whatever they like in their playthrough and potentially upend the history of Westeros, but it can also be fun to simply carry on with the adventuring spirit of Dunk and Egg, completing contracts and attending tournaments.
