While I don't think the game is exactly terrible, I can see why others might be disappointed. I waited til it was on sale to get it, and I'm glad I did because it feels a bit incomplete. It doesn't feel like a sequel, more like a high quality mod. There are a few things that really stand out as having been done well though. I really like the new captain multiplayer modes, the musket effects are quite nice, as are the overall graphics which seem slightly improved from Warband, and finally the one greatest addition in my mind that I really really wish warband had is the volly fire orders. Maybe someone will make a warband native mod for WFaS and I can finally have my vaegir marksmen make my enemies fight in the shade.
