Why I Still Love Bannerlord Despite Its Flaws Hello everyone I've been thinking about this for a while, and I wanted to share it with anyone who enjoys Bannerlord, or wants to enjoy it more. If you're already having fun throughout the entire game, that's great. This post probably isn't aimed at you. But if you've ever felt that Bannerlord has incredible potential yet somehow loses its magic after the early game, maybe this perspective will help. I completely understand the criticism the game receives. Bannerlord could have been so much more. The quests become repetitive, diplomacy lacks depth, and many of its mechanics never evolve as much as they could. The early game is exciting, the mid game starts to slow down and the late game often turns into a grind. I agree with all of that. And yet... I still enjoy every stage of the game. The reason is simple; I don't rely on the game to tell my story. I create one myself. To me, Bannerlord feels less like a tra...
I got this game a couple days ago, been playing on the newest diplomacy module.
The kill that really made me fall for this game was when I was warring against the Sarranids. I was still a lowly mercenary, with a shitty nomad bow and a steppe horse. I was just getting to know about the troops of the game, but I pretty much didn't know shit, except that mamlukes are fucking scary.
Heading into battle I was with my lightly armored horse enthusiasts, and I was quite fond of my unit. I knew that their lives were one and gone but mine was blessedly not. So when the battle started, I beelined for the mamlukes and managed to dispatch a couple with relative ease. This particular battle was in the desert outskirts, and I found myself in the heat of battle, zeroing on the Cataphract from behind. I think I attempted to lance him but missed. I then tried to use mobility to my advantage and shot him, Parthian style. I put in a few shots from the back and charged in front of him, which to my dismay the mamluke took down my horse. I found myself, heavily wounded, staring down a very angry calvary unit, charging straight at me, with maybe 2 horselengths between him and I. I took aim with my shitty nomad bow and fired, hitting my opponent in the head and killing him.
Sorry if this is real weird y'all, I'm a wee bit under the influence. It would be wonderful if y'all could comment your most amazing kills, cuz I'm a damn nood and can't imagine what things can transpire in the long run.
