i am amazed by this mod. I dont like so much the lore but questline and feature are incredible. Some rpg feeling that change everything. And this is the first public version …. Bravo. Taleworlds should try and learn

And we don't even speak of the cavalry who only aim horses and other non addressed issues.
The overall difficulty is way too easy and it is BORING
If they can't give us good roleplay element either than a good combat AI what is the point of this game?
They do some effort but as they look for the newcomers on console with very simplified mechanic, it will never be good. I am waiting for mod to but it is a never ending night

Ouuhhhh big one ! Bravo

• Bastard weapons can now be used as one-handers by using the alternative switch toggle while they are in the two-handed mode. They still switch between one-handed and two-handed mode automatically by wielding/sheathing a shield. +1 to this one. A good Spirit came back in your team, dev!

Now you can fix the damn cav ai, who still aim the ground with lance.

+1. I want the x switch again

Good to know. That was immersion breaking.
happy that mexxico did it finally.

mexxico said:

It was added months ago. Are not they running? You should try this when enemy is close to a settlement gate.

Ah good news. I didnt test last build and i guess i didnt read the changelog enought carrefully. I will test it. Thanks for your response.

mexxico said:

We will deal with this. They should run away to nearby settlement if it is in radius and if path is not going over enemy.

@mexxico
Hello mexxico, is there any news about this? Is this still in you to do list ? Thanx for your hard work

it would partially solve something this game is in dire need, and that's RPG mechanics.
I couldn't agree more on this sentence. RPG mechanics is terribly missing and more than this, the non adressing fixing stuff like price, aging going too slow (etc) add incoherence to the game. The all thing feel like a terrible waste.
Anyway the lore was never the strong point in MB, more like an excuse to play amazing sandbox mechanic. The true gem is Viking conquest (and all the other great mod) with mechanic at the best of what the engine could do and a very interesting lore, perfectly translate by the balance and atmosphere. Well VC was made by a modding team if I remember correctly...That explain a lot of thing.
Talewords do not know how to tell a story, this is not what they do.. we are asking too much. They need to fix the game and let the modder give us the beautiful gem to come.

I did like the option to switch between 2handed and 1handed with the bastard sword, it would look cool and occasionally throw someone off when they're focused on the specific animations. It wasn't totally useful but wouldn't the better option be to simply default to 2handed mode and leave this in as an added option?

We used to be able to duck while slashing too, which was badass. It didn't sync properly though and had issues so I understand why they removed it, but I hope they bring it back.

Yes they should add it as an option. Like add some subtile variation in attack animation.. but i am dreaming here.

Because the "change stance button" doesn't work half the time and trying to two-hand your bastard sword after unequipping your shield often ends with you getting killed by even the worst classes in the game.

The game in singleplayer is already too easy ... sorry but follow this demand is going to the wrong direction.

It was asked by many people, especially from the multiplayer crowd, because it's useless. If you take your shield out you want two handed anyway, wasting the time to press the button only gets you kil

Whatever is giving you freedom and immersion is usefull. This is exactly what this game is laking of. Jesus, multiplayer crowd should focus on better thing to improve the multiplayer circus

Why did you, talewords remove ability to switch between 2h and 1h sword?? This kind of little thing make the game better. Why get rid of this..????. this make no sens at all

thats a good new.. thx for this info

this game could be the game of the decade if the lore and the rpg side was better exploited.
But no it is disappointing, every thing look very generic in the game, especially npc because the personality trait does nothing, The combat is way too easy, the map is too full of city, villages and castes that you feel the map smaller than warband, no space no wilde. You are too important and powerful way too soon and in the other side, it s way too painful to lvl up your ability. That idea of "influence" was the worst idea ever and totally unimersive. You call to arms people who hate you or you never met and lead a army like it was nothing... army is nothing, siege in nothing because it is happen all the time in the game... so there is no drama and no intensity : Easy to take a castle/ easy to lose one. NCp party can't even get refuge in friendly settlement when they are chased.. they run stupidly until you catch them.. No real dialogue option , nothing to do except war and find a robotic wife to get her gear, get a city, become too powerful, get bored and start a new campaign and dreaming about the beautiful mod in progress on modb.

So it is official, we are nearing the end, with only balance, improvents and "minor" features on the horizon.

On one side, I am disapointed that the TW gave up on any meaningful roleplaying quality of the game.

• No real quests outside of the main questline
• No enhancements to dialogs to add more player variation
• No Trait influencing dialog options for players
• No enhacements to Persuasion (which currently is stupid from a RP standpoint, because you pick ALL the options, only the order in which you pick them is up to the player)
• No improvements to marriage, which is just so terrible from a RP standpoint
• No feasts, or any events of any kind. All there is is Combat (oh, and Board Games).
• No dialog support for game features (as a second method to using the menu)
  • No dialogs to give immersion for Kingdom Decisions and Diplomacy
• No support for Scenes. (Please give me a REASON to visit these scenes!)
• No interesting companios
• No gang-related features, making Roguery only meaningful (you guessed it!) in Combat, in the form of Raiding and Loot
• No further point to Minor Factions, except as extra parties for warfare.
• I could go in...

On the other side, this means release is much closer than I hoped, which means modders can finally take over...
