I've been playing a tonnnn more UFO 50. Beat Vainger, started Mini and Max (absolutely amazing). Also did the whole meta game secret thing to the end which was super fun!

I've been playing Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord. About 35ish hours into this save and so far I enjoy the game a lot. It does some things better than Mount and Blade: Warband but unfortunately some aspects of the game are less developed than in it's predecessor. Overall I think unmodded Bannerlord is better than unmodded Warband but Warband has an absolutely massive catalog of incredible mods. Maybe Bannerlord will get there one day.

Which aspects are less developed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are a few things that have stood out to me so far.

Some smaller things:

Food doesn't rot.
There are no feasts, which were a good oppurtunity to improve relation with a lord/lady.
There are less options when camping.

Some bigger things (to me anyway):

The courtship system was significantly reduced, basically just a few speech checks where you know the exact % chance of failure/sucsess, then purchase them from their highest ranking clan member.
The npc compainions don't feel as unique as in Warband, and I find myself almost always skipping through their dialogue. Maybe this is just my run but I have only had one instance of a companion taking issue with my actions.
You can't really start as a nobody anymore. In Warband you could serve as a soldier in someone else's army and work your way up the ladder, it made for a harder path to becoming a vassal and an interesting early game. In Bannerlord you can start as someone who didn't have noble parents, I did, but this part of the game just felt less fleshed out.

I haven't quite started my own kingdom yet, I want to spend some more time as a vassal. But I have heard that kingdom managment and diplomacy feel unfinished to many. I guess I'll have to see this for myself.
