Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

[rêve]

After nearly 100 hours in cRPG I can say this both scratches the MMO itch and captures the feeling of the multiplayer games of the 90's - it has communities, private games you can join and a map making scene.

still inferior to modded warband, isn't it?

If you only care about combat and nothing else, then Bannerlord is the way to go.

If you want a campaign that actually feels like roleplaying a feudal lord -- with diplomacy, economy, kingdom management, etc -- stick with modded Warband.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

so that's a yes. a very hugely gigantic yes.

nah its fine in 1.1.5, u just need... about 20 mods. Native... completely broken. But with core gameplay mods, its pretty awesome (i didn't bought it, but i might due to scene mod editor) - havent bought a game from steam since 2019 September (transfered traffic from indies to EA/Ubisoft), and i will not, unless for modding tools like this, cause they are behind steam paywall. "We hate the West" but then doing exactly what West does, FUCK YOU TURKS!

Basically Skyrim, but with mods. That's Bannerlord! less ESG (C) (TM) inclusivity tho, up to a point... "Roman" empire has maybe 2 decent helmets the rest are made by Tod Howard Skyrim/Oblivion retardo cousin, a fat retardo blonde that destroyed Oblivion (think of the character models faces)

Also for illiterate technical retards on this forum (90%), Bannerlod is made in Unity, probably custom HDRP pipeline (quite something, since its quite broken, URP barely works) and 1.1.5 and up, has good graphics and quite good performance these days, they went quite deep + custom flora(from that garbage company that made Gaia). I remember trying in Early Access, the performance was so bad, jesus, most likely because Unity. If they wouldve used Unreal, well x10 times performance problems, due to semi open game setting, big open scene, load scenes, unreal hates that or anything that is not a scene with some retardo third person shooter mechanic and even these retardo projects fail.

Well, its fine with 20+ mods, so bassicly garbage game... or the best game u played, if you can use a PC, which is rare these days.

like pendor, floris or warsword?

Tbh i didnt liked pendor at first, until i played a bit more and i fracking love every second of it. There are some big mods like that, but i used a collection of mods, while playing adding/fixing things that were problematic. Do not even start the game without Diplomacy ))


The biggest one i remember is https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/2428 and i think there is another one similar, but they are highly incompatible with a lot of mods, so i prefer to make my own collection "experience".

Last year I played the warhammer one, that one I thought was good, could play as a necromancer vampire and stuff.

So can I finally play Bannerlord?

You can try. Let see how long you survive.

 

[Peachcurl]

Did anyone ever make a M&B (not necessarily Bannerlord) mod that turns the game into a Rogue-Like / Rogue-Light?

Its not about that. Its about whether I can load a non corrupted save game. And so on.

You mean only allow 1 save and force save after each decision?
And if you die, give you some "points" that you could spend to make your next life easier?

 

[Tuco Benedicto Pacifico]

It depends.
How autistic you can get about "muh Pendor experince"?

I last played it in 2020. It was impossible to complete any of the campaigns from what I recall. I uninstalled it and made a note to pick it up again a few years when they get around to fixing it.

Anyway I am downloading again now and will try it.

Yes, something along that line. For instance, every character is from the same dynastic line, profiting from structural improvements of the faction (such as access to higher quality gear, passice income, etc.)

You can sort of do that now, I think I saw an iron man mode at some point, and then you can just cheat extra points during character creation the more you die.

Iron man is fine,

I mean, sure, I could do that. But that'd be pretty much equivalent to modding it myself, only without any nice glue to make it play smoothly.

The game has a sweet spot where it's actually alright but the moment you try to go beyond that, mostly by actually conquering territory, it becomes a complete chore.

I never finished it due to crashes and inability to correctly save but also I had that sense 2/3rds of the way to the end of a campaign. Perhaps just over the half way mark I would auto resolve battles as it grew it a bit tedious going through the motions. The first half is quite a thrill though.

Anyway its still downloading, nearly done.

Isn't the base game thus? Your dude dies either of natural or other causes and you get to play as some other clan member who can sport your old dudes loot.

Not the last time I played it.

 

[boot]

I still prefer Warband to Bannerlord, I think it's mostly due to Bannerlord's clan system/companions/characterbuilding being inferior to Warband's. Bannerlord's mod scene may never catch up to Warband's mod scene, either.

 

[oldbonebrown]

Not letting the player separate unit types into different formations is one of the biggest oversights in the game.

They need to stop patching it so mods stop breaking
