If you're looking for THE medieval combat game look no further. This is it. But if you're looking for a fleshed out RPG this isn't it. No character has an ounce of personality. Only good for the battles. Modding is a must. I recommend Cut Through Everyone and Dismemberment Plus so you can take off 3 dudes head off in one swing. 5/10 w/o mods 9/10 with.

Oct. 2024

- The devs keep pushing useless bugfixes and/or tweaking numbers instead of adding content that was initially in warband. - Modding is a necessary but horrible experience due to the constant updates and overall janky state of the game. - Diplomacy, Fief management, Politics and the overall Economy is totally absent. Marriage serves no real purpose aside from pumping children. Workshops used to be the cornerstone of early-game in warband but are very much a waste of ressources in bannerlord. - I dont think the devs will ever fix the column formation on horse archers and i've given up on that. - NPC's are just bland. very few dialog options despite the elaborate personality system that governs their reputation. - Quests are very uninspired and really need more work & I won't talk about bandit hideouts. - The AI is terrible. Even after installing RBM to make it less dumb its still dead easy to win fights using basic tactical warfare. Now do I regret the time i've spent on this game ? ABSO-LUTE-LY fucking not.

June 2024

Ultimately I enjoy playing the game, but I have huge reservations in recommending it. Fundamentally the combat is unique, and the experience of starting out is fun. However, the mid to late game is a terrible grind due to baffling decisions such as having enemy lords escape _within days_, and enemy armies teleporting to crisis spots [as of June 24]. Some great mods exist, but this should not in any way be required. I think the overall issue here is that the devs have created branched features and have no clue how to integrate them. They let you capture, but don't know how to deal with the impact on wars. They let you smith, but don't know how to balance that with the wider economy. These are tough questions, no doubt, but - and I can't overemphasise this - they are charging big trousers money. PUT ON YOUR BIG TROUSERS AND SORT IT OUT. Thumbs up for potential. But feeling pessimistic as of now.

Historically speaking, if you defeat an army 4-5 times your size, you would usually win the war, or at the very least stop the enemies from attacking you for a long time. You will also have your name engraved into history, with bards singing you praises and armchair military fans talking about how cool you are. In Bannerlord, it's Tuesday.

Jan. 2024

Started off as a kind-hearted wanderer going from town to town doing small errands to help out and earn some allies. Gained some renown by traveling around and winning a few tournaments. Eventually joined the desert kingdom and started fighting to defend my king’s land. King gave me some castles and towns after helping him win a few sieges. Mismanaged my construction projects in my new fiefs and went into debt for 3 million coins. Completely broke, but still fighting in a massive war with the western kingdom. Realized it was unwinnable and started executing every western leader after each battle, hoping that would make a difference. Lost my “Generous” and “Merciful” traits, gained the "Deceitful" trait, now every kingdom and clan despises me for being a heartless, murderous monster. Left my king knowing his kingdom was doomed, tried joining another kingdom, but everyone hates me for being a war criminal. Only option now is to retire to a cave in the mountains and live the rest of my life as an honorless hermit while my governor brother and his children try to salvage our clan’s name in a dying kingdom. Started out as a friendly wanderer with a heart of gold, ended as a disgraced war criminal forced to retreat to the mountains and live the rest of my days hiding out in a cave reflecting on just how quickly the quest for power degraded my moral compass. 10/10.
