Yeah, maybe you're right, they might take the game down because of this and release it in another 8 years lmao

Lol.
In all honesty it could be made optional but then you'd have to rework the long-term game itself in campaign and sandbox modes, good luck seeing the game out any time soon at that point.

You'd still have the dynamics of relationships with the lords and factions. No two playthroughs were the same in previous titles.
They've even given us the option to turn of the 'battle death' mechanic. Something that no doubt messes with the balance of the game. Two playthroughs of battle death and non-battle death would be drastically different, game mechanic wise. They still give players the option. Giving players the option to ignore all of that won't stop you from playing the way you like.
I'm more worried about the actual foundation of the core gameplay itself which, as I mentioned, seems to be based around a few features, generational gameplay included.
Like I said above, you can introduce an option but how much of an impact will that incur on the gameplay loop they're trying to design for campaign/sandbox?

That I was wondering too but it doesn't matter. It could be just settings so you can modify your age yourself
The thing that i don't like the most is that unfortunately since we have ageing mechanic, and characters are replaced all the time, that means that we will never have Lords/Companions with unique backstories, personal quests, abilites and equipment.
Instead we will get NPC-s generated by template each time that are all the same.
That breaks the immersion most for me, it makes the word look bland, and companions and lords no more interesting than simple soldiers.
Unfortunately, the game will 100% go in this direction, so the only hope is that moders will make the game for people that like living in the world more, than playing Kingdom Management / Total War.

Well I agree but why do you think it'll go 100 % in this direction? There's already an option to enable death. But yeah I too think they won't make anging an option. I hope someone'll make a mod for this.
Inappropriate behavior
Your whingeing about an option that doesn't affect gameplay and can be turned off by disabling deaths is very disconcerting.
-snip- Also, the game starts with plenty of unique characters with unique backstories who will live 50+ years so your point is deader than JFK.

Disabling battle death DOES affect gameplay. The rate of lord and companion death goes up significantly with it enabled, yet they give players the option to enable/disable.
Why do you care if someone else has a differently balanced experience than you? You still get the same game. Now you're just whingeing because other people want options.

Thats what I was about to say lmao. Right after he showed off his math skills I figured he's just kind of slow.
Maybe a mod will made disabling the feature for you guys.

That's what I said (and hope for if they won't make it optional) but the game is in EA and that means they can still change some aspects of the game imo.
That's just how i see it right now, you either go in "generated direction" (no man''s sky) or hand crafted world (the Witcher). Those two are extreme examples, by they show the two extremes when you chose a direction in the game, bannerlord is gonna be somwhere in the middle, but it is gonna lean towards no man's sky, while i would have liked leaning towards the Witcher more.
*(For people that think that this comparison doesnt make sense, please ignore it, you don't understand what i meant)
Yeah imagining stories is a good option, but i would like to play in a rich world full of stories made by other people.
Your other point is your opinion, i feel zero immersion playing this game right now.

Doesn't mean have to follow the herd of sheep if you don't like it. Of course some of us are gonna play it no matter what but it doesn't mean I'm gonna be quiet about it. You seem submissive
thing is that 4 months are 1 year, so with current skills, you cant really level up anything for long cause the char gets old. 120 days is 1 year.
Do you want to smith ? Need to wait in towns, see how quick that goes.
I rathr have standard time 12 months, then aging is a non-issue.
