Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord

Well, yeah I did read about that. But that whole thing is odd, so I dunno. I always viewed it as a separate world, but I dunno. I always just viewed Lord of the Rings as the... what's the word, standard bearer for High Fantasy.

The DLC shall be called The Warband of the Cattle, Two Feasts and The Return of Frodogorn.

But really, not too much fantasy pls. Having a diffrent world is an awesome idea. What they did, was to be able to **** around with all time periods and put them into one world, where people wouldn't complain about the timeperiod, and then go realistic on the rest. It's an awesome thing to do really, avoided all trouble and could satisfy people who like diffrent timperiods, cultures, etc.

Ok, it's spoiler time! Gather around kids.

No low or high fantasy. There will be only humans... and flying squirrels who will fight a bloody war for the throne of Calradia.

That's ok, I'll get my fantasy fix in Dark Souls in just a couple of months now

Just get it for console. It'll be a crappy port.

Suspicous Pilgrim · Jun 13, 2012

Horaay for no sexy elves wearing skimpy armor!

Although, the fact that Calradia shares the same months as Europe could be fixed.

Splintert · Jun 13, 2012

It's not particularly a lore-heavy game.

Like I'm gonna buy a console lol

Splintert · Jun 14, 2012

Oh, well be prepared to fight game glitches and generic console-port bugs as well as the game's difficulty :p

The Flying Squirrels should be an infamous mercenary gang, looting, tricking, raping and plundering in Calradia, that you are ordered to hunt down and kill.

The Knights Of the Flying Squirrel?

It can be if you want it to be. There's plenty of lore all around, each companion for example has bits and pieces of it.

Warband's lore is very poor if you've seen better (PoP, TEATRC). Compare the companion interactions to Dragon Age, that should be the standard.

Temuzu · Jun 14, 2012

I know, but the basics are there.

Gemenerik · Jun 14, 2012

Anything confirmed?

Scully · Jun 14, 2012

Flying squirrels fighting over the throne.

As it is, Mount and Blade is already low fantasy (purely by definition).

Is it? I always thought of it just fictional.

Vieira151 · Jun 14, 2012

Well, fictional covers everything that has ever been made up and isn't real, so yeah I would agree that it is at least fictional.

But as far as I know, and I don't know a lot, Calradia is set on a fictional world, rather than set on Earth. And that is (one of) the definition of Low Fantasy. I guess it is very much debatable though.

Ringwraith #5 · Jun 14, 2012

Well if it is some other world, then it's low fantasy. If it's on Earth, it's alternate history.
Ultimately, I don't think it matters either way and I'm perfectly fine with it being ambiguous. As long as there's no magic nonsense, I'm happy.
