It seems that there is very often a disagreement on the forum about the state of the game, so let's put it to bed.
We are all on the same team but there is a distinction to be made about the game playing well and playing enjoyably.
Without a doubt, TW has quashed bugs, increased performance, and generally delivered a more stable game over the last year - I know, I have over 500 hours in game.
BUT, the game is NO MORE ENJOYABLE THAN IT WAS AT RELEASE.
This is why I have stopped playing, this is why I am frustrated, and this is likely why many others are as well.
To clarify - the game is not enjoyable, especially not without mods (the modders have made the game bearable).
There is a vast difference between repetitive, shallow gameplay that 'works' and varied, deep gameplay that 'rewards'.
Bannerlord IS NOT the latter.
Having said that, please feel free to respond - but more than anything, please keep this in mind when debating on the forum - we are stronger together, so let's compare apples to apples when we discuss the state of the game, and TW's progress.
