Anon owns nothing and is unhappy
(thelemmy.club)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
How is the sequel a downgrade? (I don't know basically anything except playing one of the games for half an hour-ish)
Graphics was in DIRE need of an update on original Mount And Blade. Game came out in ~2010, but the graphics felt like they were early 2000's.
Sequel did an 8/10 job on bringing those up to the late 2010's (despite its ~2022 release).
That said, the base game became unwinnable with how impossibly stupid the game AI became. They also tried to build in a "main story" which was busted in multiple fronts and virtually impossible if you ever experienced a party wipe (very common occurrence in the early game).
Even with cheats enabled, my best run at the sequel's primary objective (conquer the map), I only ever got ~25% of the way there after over 200 hours of game play.
