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...
Be honest. What should be TaleWorlds biggest focus on bannerlord should be? Me personally I don’t need any huge dlcs or updates to where its major changes, i think they should have their biggest focus on small things that alot of people want/would come in handy for them, heres what i would like to see them focus on-
Marriage clan choice- When you’re sister/daughter marrys (if you have high relations with the family of the man marrying) you can choose if she stays in your clan and he joins your kingdom as a vassal or if she joins their kingdom ( so if she has good stats you can keep her in your clan)
Clan debates- instead of you being heavily involved in the choices made that are brought up by nobles in your kingdom, You can (like in GOT) create your own small council of the clan leaders in your kingdom with the highest influence to make decisions like trade and alliances and arrange tournaments
Marry anybody- im aware this is a console command cheat but you can only do that for pc so what I suggest— Players can marry any NPC on the map, If a player marrys Another Kingdom/Realms leader they automatically become ally’s with 100 relation, but if you’re relation drops past 25 due to you being a bad ally that kingdom will break ties with you and declare war, aswell as trying to get their family member back
Armour smithing and Bow crafting- Add new materials/gem stones we can use to smith and decorate our own armour and possibly even horse armour to give our characters a unique look and feel
Customisable banner- instead of having to defeat an army everytime you want a new banner with better bonuses , you can go to a shop in a town and create your own banner that give slightly better bonuses, change the banner fabric shape, choose custom patterns, and even add pommels to the top like how the dragon banner looks
Messenger system- Add a new character that acts like your squire, follows you everywhere you go including battle, so if you need a particular companion even if their to far you can send a letter/you can have the letter say different things depending your situation\ Instead of having to look at the Encyclopedia and track who you want to marry you can just send a letter to their father asking for their hand in marriage
Challenged succession’s- instead of only being able to name a heir when you’re character is already dead, you can choose to name your heir at any point after having at least 2 kids that are past age 5, from which point the chosen heir will remain the apparent successor for a guarantee of 5-8 years, after the 5 years have past your chosen heir can stay the heir for as long as 3 more years without challenge by your kin or your kin can choose not to challenge the successor, depending on the leadership skill of the chosen heir, along with influence, higher leadership skills will result in less succession challenges, where as opposed to choosing an heir with low leadership skills can result in a challenge for the succession
Crime and corruption- if theres low numbers of soldiers in the garrison of your settlements increase in crime will start to happen, slowly making the townfolk feel unsafe, therefore leading to loss in loyalty. If you have low relation with some of the nobles in your kingdom they can start to give information to kingdoms your at war with about things like locations of your caravans, party members ect.
Castle forges- forges inside the castle that allow you to forge better, stronger and more detailed/decorative swords and weapons, better grade steel kind of like bannerlords version of vaylrian steel
Cinematic duels-you can choose to either duel normal or do a cinematic fight scene, for the cinematic fight scene you won’t have to do anything besides watch a cool fight, the only way to determine who wins the fight is whoever has the better stats in-one handed and two handed, athletics, tactics and medicine
Also think it would be cool to add more banner sigils and colors- maybe even a QR code or app for the game so you can make a custom sigil
