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.

It's Berzerk we're talking about here, and while it's certainly not the worst thing to be put into animation it's not exactly rainbows and puppies either. Keep it classy.

Vlandians- Pretty self explanatory, classical western european style knights and castles. Urban Merchants- Generally it is considered that Griffith came from a background of impoverished means/street urchin growing period. Urban Merchants places him in a town. Leadership Skills- showed talent and drive for leading others from a young age and... Alley Gangs- ...started out running around with other street rats, using charm and charisma to guide others Skirmishers- Always been a lithe and dexterous fighter who relies on athleticism and control, not the brute force meat shield. Defeated an Enemy- Got a reputation for himself by being bloodied early. Organized Travelers to break out- He really demonstrated his ability to manipulate others into fighting for him and his dream. This was just the first tangible instance of his extraordinary ability to turn failure into success. Feel free to jump in with your suggestions. I felt this was a good blend of Social, Leadership, his World Specific background (what they gave of it), and his fighting styles. Anyone done anything similar? This is on Vanilla, zero mods so there's only so much I can do to make him a pretty boy with white hair and a clean-shaven face. [link] [comments] |
