How could they? This a dream game, this fact not making me angry but instead makes me feel pity for us. This game has a great fan base that tries to help the game to improve but this the return?
There so much to be done, however TW don't think that way. I don't have the source but I think I saw some dev mentioning the game will be almost done after they done with fixing the bugs and exploit stuff. (İt would be good if someone give a source )
This matter is incomparable and different in "some ways". And giving an example of a company that doing the same thing is not suppose to be mean that TW doing the right thing.
Your "opinions" in this game is seriously weird. You need to think trough this once more. You need to know this game has been developing since 2012, and if this is a sequel game why the hell they remove the good feature that everyone liked in warband ? I really don't understand this. People loved it. No one complained about them, so simply add it to the BL but not only stay with it and add some more content so we can call it Bannelord, so people like *"This game is copy of warband"* can be silenced.
Maybe sometimes it's better to say nothing 'cause I see lots of ppl turning some dev words into promises, this is putting TW in to the hard spot.( Still, there is a ironi that they broke lots of promises) I would want some answer as well but things are keep changing in BL so maybe it's hard to say something sometimes. Eventually this communication problem is still because of the big guys of the TW, otherwise devs have nothing to say if they are not allowed to.
I don't know much about developing but as I understand, it's not gonna be something they gonna fix easily right ? But there is one thing they can do;
İt was good in warband, though idk how it fits to bannerlord tbh. But having a feast was not bad before, after a tournament I was looking for a stunning girl to marry so I can honor her with my win. And seeing every lord in a one room and taking quest from them way easier like that or even suggest them something or ask. On the other hand I loved the feast because I can actually get in the scenes and see the lords feasting in there. You find it unnecessary but I'm sure most people would like feast in BL but I'm not judging you you may not like it. İn bannerlord having scenes are kinda useless. I just use shortcuts because it's... Well, shorter. I never go in the city except for buying a workshop, I never go in villages I mostly using shortcuts. Never ever going in the throne room. So after a while I wish to see some scenery but instead all I'm doing is roaming the map 7/24
Having a more characteristic companions was better in my opinion. I know people live and die but this should be optional. I think making a random companions was a bad idea for bannerlord. Maybe they should have try to make a system for having random or charasteristic companions according to option you choose of them to die or not.
Warband sieges was too basic however it's an old game. So idk if I should show understanding to TW for making a broke sieges because it's 2021. But it's clear that the bannerlord sieges are way complex that the sieges in warband. Hard path finding, breaking double gate, using the siege tools like catapult and battering ram, spliting the troops into 2-4 ways to enter the castle etc. So I think it's not gonna be easy but I believe devs will handle this fine and fix it eventually.
