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'm playing as Aelfeyja after retiring the starting main character very early into the campaign. To play as Aelfeyja, I married Nathanos to Aelfeyja, so she joined my clan. Pretty much the moment I began playing as Aelfeyja, Nathanos was begging me for a divorce. I denied him 3 times before finally agreeing to divorce. Then he married my companion, Tayla the Swift. Oh and he also got a different companion pregnant. Then he decided that he was done playing the field and wanted to settle down with a noble lady. And he chose his sister. This man has kids from 4 different women, one of which is from his own sister. Dramalord absolutely does what it says on the tin, add drama. This has been a hilarious campaign. [link] [comments] |
