I have a nice wife, a nice fief too, a castle on a hill with a magnificent view. I have fertile lands, and villages that thrive, hundreds of troops who somehow stay alive. My coffers are heavy, my warband is fed, my enemies see my banner and occasionally drop dead. I have horses and armor, silver and grain, a hall full of nobles complaining again. By every measure, I’ve won at this game. I’ve conquered, grown wealthy, and built up my name. Yet I stand on my battlements when the campaigning is done, watching the mountains fade with the sun. My wife is beside me. My kingdom is strong. My vaults overflow. But something feels wrong. I’ve everything a lord could possibly acquire… Maybe what’s missing another fief to desire. submitted by /u/t-o-m-u-s-a [link] [comments]
I pretty much just play Warband (with Floris Mod Pack) and I admit that most of the time I kinda glaze over the back-stories of everything, when a companion stops me to tell me about a place or an event I just speed-read through it, not even really letting it settle in. For me, this game has always been light on story in favor of deep engaging gameplay mechanics, which is what I like.
I am curious though, am I really missing much? Is there interesting or good lore to be uncovered in this series? Should I be paying more attention and read the flavor text or is there really nothing worth digging up underneath all this sand?
