  • Mount & Blade: Bannerlord sucks. I hate Mount & Blade: Bannerlord more than anything in my life. I hate it more than I hate Minecraft (which i have never played,) and that's saying something.

    One thing you didn't touch upon but I think is my biggest deal breaker is how dead the world feels in Bannerlord. I never get attached to lords unlike in Warband because they don't behave in a way that would make me do. We have no rivalries or friendships between them, you cannot go to a lord and reminisce how you took a castle or captured an enemy in a great battle. The courtship system is dumb, meet your spouse-to-be twice and then go and pay their family. Speaking of families, why are clans so rigid? You cannot get single lords to defect to you and you always have to speak with the clan leader because they are the only one who can decide things, apparently. And don't get me started on how dead companions feel...
    Oh, armies. Idk why, but forming an army in Warband felt like a tidal wave of lords marching one after another, splitting off to kill small parties that dared stand in your way only to then reform with the rest, gather around a city and then storm it. In Bannerlord, you just move around, maybe besiege something and then go recruit troops while starving because the AI doesn't grasp the concept of food.

      i actually had a bit where i talked about this in the script that got cut out! basically, bannerlord's lords are way more forgettable cause there's an assload of them whereas in Warband the number is a lot smaller and so, on a meta level, when you see people mention someone like King Graveth, you can be like, oh, i know that guy!
      companions are the same thing.

Not to mention that marriage should entail a potential alliance between 2 clans not just... nothing

You get the impression that at some point the devs considered this since the cities and taverns are beautifully crafted and they've included board games per culture, but they abandoned it altogether.

    Just saying Cassius, training troops in bannerlord is not very hard. If you don't play right, you will have trouble upgrading troops. Also, the kill feed has no problem with it. If you get used to it, I would argue that it is better than Warband's. also, if you play sandbox, which is a little more fun, you don't have to deal with spawning at the training camp and you will spawn at your faction. If you do quests and get villages to love you, you will get tier 4 troops from every village.

Bannerlord is not finished, and the modding community are just getting started with it. IMO bannerlord will be the better game when it has as many years under its belt as warband does now.

    this is a year late but ultimately why i think bannerlord is supremely mid is because it's trying to iterate warband into something that M&B's loop just is fundamentally not accommodating to: a grand strategy with RPG elements, rather than a pretty unique, albeit insanely rusty and unpolished blend of various RPG trends into one product with strategic trappings. classic mods like pendor, perisno, AWIOAF etc all add handwritten quests, new companions, new locations, worldbuilding with scenebuilding details. even NATIVE warband has some flair (remember that one rhodok village with all the skulls outside it lmao?), characters, hell, even sometimes main quests. this is what is ultimately compelling about warband - as barebones as it is, it has a degree of detail, it has some lore, it has *ideas,* which bannerlord only ever hints at. disappointing that 10 years of continuous development has only made the game vaguely less interesting

  • @michaelterrencefernandezli6688
    @michaelterrencefernandezli6688 Před 6 měsíci +1

    problem in bannerlord that they left the rest of the devloping to the modders. the game mechanics felt undeveloped and lackluster like diplomacy, political system, settlement management, etc. this forces you to use mods like diplomacy, bannerkings, improved garrisons, etc. just to make the game whole. However, the horrendous modding tools and constant update usually destroy mod stability which causes most mods to crash. I also hate that you need to constantly update mods as they are hard to keep track of.

  • @danyelpaladintheimpetuous1438

  • @RichardJohnson-gf1wt
    @RichardJohnson-gf1wt Před 2 lety +8

    Eh, I think on the purely tactical side Bannerlord is a definite improvement, obviously sieges are way better but prebattle deployment and the battle terrain system also go underappreciated (plus spearmen ACTUALLY WORK now.) That being said, the changes on the campaign/rpg side and mod support are hit and miss.
    A lot of the mod complaints can be chalked up to Bannerlord being too new to have any finished total conversion mods yet, but it's also fair to say that Taleworlds has dropped the ball in some areas. I always thought it was interesting that probably the most talked-about Warband mod has always been PoP when I always thought Perisno and Star Wars Conquest were more impressive. To each his own.

    The red and green design are simple to register. Wounded casualties don't matter to me because they're as useful as being dead.
    The shortened report you can enable in the options menu makes the log smaller and less intrusive than Warband's log, which occupies 1/3 of the screen.

    For me, I've been feeling like the bannerlord content progression has had really wrapped priorities compared to the furnished game of warband. For instance it took several months for them to implement this big teased terrain sync system, but in game it has little to no use other than asthetic since there are no advanced travel management or ambush options that last game provided in a sleek very useful camp system that simply needs to be ported over along with all the diplomacy options thay also would make strategic movement actully viable. We have a mideval grand strategy game that has completely subs all its costs into the realt time combat sim with a starving overarching game containing it. You can fix somethings with mods, buts those mods are barely being supported by the actual games progression.

Some people might argue that, but they too have that same progression and ability to make your own stories IMHO. Sorry for rambling, looking forward to whatever you put out next. I hope you and your loved ones have a safe, happy, and healthy rest of 2022! :)

      Paradox games have sunk a not insignificant time out of my life, and out of the hundreds of hours of experience in each, I'd say that HOI4 - the game I have the most time in - is pretty boring garbage that plays out the same every game, CK2 is the most fun by far, Stellaris is enjoyable enough and the constant updates keep it refreshing to revisit, and the rest I haven't invested an insane amount of time into to have a super developed opinion. Except that Vicky 2 is, relative to the others, boring as sin. CK2 (and probably CK3, couldn't tell you,) is definitely a story generator similar to the others mentioned in the video, but I don't think the other ones really play into the roleplaying aspect anywhere near as much.
