Well, the time had come.
I've played Warband for over 10k hours of my precious / sad/ miserable life, SP MP native, CRPG, and all kinds of other mods. I've been leading international big clans in CRPG and I can clearly say that M&B is the greatest piece of gaming industry art i've ever encountered. Yet i have never written on a official Taleworlds forum untill now. I've waited since 2012 to play Bannerlord and this blog pushed me to write.
People of Calradia are still full of hype but dev blogs such as this are not the best idea as they aggravate your loyal patient fans. Lack of actual content could be fixed by adding more screenshots / new short footage of the mode ingame. I know that development takes time (im working as a scrum master in IT company and i know how long do projects take to be finalised) and that it might have been too early to announce it in 2012 when nothing was really done. But after 7 years people expect more content to be shown. It doesnt have to be revolutionary, im watching footages and screenshots for 10 times over and over again just to imagine what the game is like. Anything will be better than nothing. If open beta is a no go and closed beta is limited so that not everybody will get hands on it at least release some longer gameplay in slightly more advanced game stage (not necessarily endgame) just so that there is anything to keep us calm and give you more time to polish the gem you are working on.
Im slightly disapointed but allways wish you the best!
Keep up the good work and let us peek on it a little bit
