Settlement Nameplate Events
- Whenever a player gets in the viewing range of a settlement, they can see if there is a tournament or an issue available in that settlement without visiting it.
This i personaly dont like.I realy dont like that type of being all knowing god where you know everyone and everything in Calradia no matter of your status or if you ever encountered/interacted with the NPCs.This needs to be tweeked/changed or simply make optional and be on/of in the option menu where:
1)Original stay as it is
2)When in menu lets call it realistic knowledge option is ON/Enabled then when you start the game the amount of NPC you know will be limited (depending on how you chose your start) and is reflected in encyclopedia where it will only show limited amount of people/NPCs.
-When Player is low status all you know about and is shown in Encyclopedia is Ruler of the kingdom you are in and current family members alongside other Kingdom rulers BUT you dont know anything else (dont know about vassals,mercenary groups hired by kingdom,clan/s members and their families).
-As you climb in ranks,do quests that will bring you to notable NPCs,hearing/paying for rumors you as a player will slowly get to learn about other rulers,vassals andtheir family members as you slowly go throu game and Encyclopedia gets updated each time you learn about notable NPCs.
-As a peasant/low born start ALL YOU SHOUD KNOW/WILLL BE GIVEN TO YOU/WILL BE PRESENT IN ENCYCLOPEDIA is the Rulers of the Kingdoms and their curent members of the family (will not get to know newcomers to the family for that you need to get information in diffeent ways rummors,paying for information,during quests intracting with notable NPCs).While everything else WILL NOT be given and you would as you play the game slowly or fast (depending on your playstile an d focus) will unravel/learn about the notables of Calradia and their families.
This way its more logical/immersive/realistic but also not feel like you are all knowing god where everything is spoonfed to you and make you not explore the Calradia or chose different styles of play simply bcs RIGHT FROM BEGGINING you know everything about everyone without spending any time,money,effort,ways of obtaining the informations and also makes town/taverns less usable and less apealing bcs why you should go there where you alredy have all the information needed right from the start of the game.It realy makes game world look bland/cheap and realy to some degree immersion/roleplay breaking.
If not change it can Devs atleast rethink and see if its possible to make it OPTIONAL where you can chose from if you want more realistic knowlege start where you as you play gradualy get /obtain the knowledge of notable NPCs or the Vanila where you are all knowing god start.
Target locking is implemented. Players can now lock their camera to an enemy with the middle mouse key by default.
This is also one of the things i dont like.MB Bannerlord isnt an FPS game and by adding this it just further make game immersion breaking BUT also deters player for putting any effort into learning but everything is like spoonfed and removes the reward/gets les rewarding for a player bcs now oh you have a lock on target so why bother spending some time learning stuff bcs now everything is like playing a mobile game.
In my personal opinion more and more the game is developed the more i see drastic change to casual oriented playstile of consatntly having holding hand and things that look like you are playing an arcade mobile game where everything is done with just a few clicks from Sieges that barely last 5-10 minutes without having any gradual stages of the siege to now suddenly becoming not only an all knowing god but also god of war where you now can have target locking.
Not trying to be Negative BUT even in games where you have GODS/DEMIGODS EVEN GODs didnt always know everything and not all gods/demi gods were precise and perfect but throuout the journey they discovered/learned things that they didnt know about or knew about it but not in full details.Kratos litteraly needed to go throu a lot of things to learn stuff.When it comes to Bannerlord you as a LOW BORN player ALREDY FROM THE START have the abilities of a GOD where you alredy from the getgo know about everyone and everything in Calradia,know about who does what without even needing to go on journey to investigate or spend time investigating.Everything is given on a silver plate without any worries of being decieved,info being delayed,info being not true.Everything is precise,on point and immmedietly given to you no matter what status your created character is.
Anyway this update is AWESOME and cant wait to see how it will work.THANKS FOR ALL THE WORK AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
