    I think what makes warband's end game so satisfying is the sheer amount of time and effort you have to put in to even get to the end game, and if you can reach that, it's it feels so worth it because of the amount of details put in the game world, npcs don't feel like braindead 3d models walking around, especially the lords, they have personality, political views, enemies, friends etc. And boy, i still remember the very first time i got a fief, it was dumar, and i absolutely spoiled it, i frequently checked for quests, and when the village was on very good terms with me, they even gave me actual soldiers when i recruited from them, it's those little things that makes warband great

      mannn fr and that you feel that you have a real unique story. for example I had a companion Borcha who stuck alongside me thru thick n thin from when I was peasant to when I was a marshal in the khergit empire to a lord of my own faction. I rewarded him and another companion, my marshal lezliat a feif and they became lords. Well, things took a major down turn when all the factions team up against me and we were losing a lot. Borcha betrayed me and joined another faction, still hurts to this day. So after my faction dissolved I rejoined the khergits and worked my way back up to marshal and immediately went on a manhunt to find Borcha. Found him, obliterated him, and took him prisoner 😂

    • @thomaslacornette1282
      @thomaslacornette1282 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I think i now why it's because Bannerlord they just made a technical upgrade, building their own engine which is quite good the amount of units in battle is quite incredible; but they forget all the good points of Warband. There's also a lot of micromagement in Bannerlord in gestion end in battles and a lot of battles... as fun as they are that become boring. Bannerlord need a better population and economic system.

    Bannerlord is the 'son of Warband' - different but not going to be better for a good few years and may turn out to be a git, albeit most newer players will prefer it - it was very much aiming for a broader audience. generic AF. I say this with over 4k hours in Bannerlord - 3k in the beta. Warband I have on console - so not a mod in sight but it's still got so much more going for it *for a particular kind of player. - most importantly for me, it's an actual sandbox, Bannerlord puts us as the Chosen One, something I dislike in games that aren't about the Heroes. Sarranid who? ya been listening to Ultra Nate lately or summet fella? ate, no arté. (mostly banter - from a slightly triggered foreigner after having English beaten in to him in Essex. Essex ffs!!). Solo, all day solo. All the loot, all the xp. lol loving the way we take things personally in this - Tulag you Arkit fæcking tw@! lol Ragnar - remember his brethren visited the Brits with 'The Great Heathen Army' - he's using those Rus tactics. Only the front line gets an axe lol the spears in the third row are there to keep the front line moving forward. God I love the anti-meta of this game, brute forcing it to behave. Businesses are for additional storage, hoard that TP baby! See I can't argue with a guy who also enjoys trolling the leaders with Claimants.

    @westa8427 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Warband is excellent, but I would say a pretty simple game. Yes, it is fun to play and that's what matters the most. But sometimes you want to have fun with more features. Tactics (especially formations) are limited, bots behaviour becomes super predictable at tournaments making them an easy money source, not the challenge, especially as you level up. Yes, there are mods, a lot of mods actually, but I mean that's not the base game.
    Adventure is about engaging new, I know it's not easy to make a ton of content for players, but still this game feels like a grind at some points. But what makes this game special for me - even grind can be enjoyable. Every little win is enjoyable (except for tournaments which feel boring now tbh).
    M&B warband is definitely not a masterpiece, but it seems that game don't need to be a masterpiece to enjoy it and have fun.

      its your PC over heating from running too hard.. which means you don't have enough Random Access Memory to run the game and whatever background programs are running.
      A Bad PC fan or a failing Hard drive at the worse case scenario could also cause it.
      My Own BSOD was from the fan on the hard drive failing and the hard drive power board burning itself out from the heat.
