So I haven't purchased this just yet, but reading reviews it seems people are drawing a lot of comparisons to Warband. Mount and Blade has been a lot of fun and I love the war cries after winning a battle, as well as many other aspects of the series. That said, I think there needs to be a couple of MAJOR deviations from the series and for me it comes from a desire to outsmart and also crush my enemies. Maybe this is too challenging or too late to include, or maybe too graphic, but I want the freedom to cut the heads off my enemies, clean off their shoulders, while their body ragdolls immediately after. Not like every person in battle, but damnit, if my character is being dragged around for days after losing a battle, you better believe that as soon as Im free, Im gonna hunt those assholes down and makes some heads roll. Or perhaps some Lord has been punishing a region for far too long and he fails to best me in battle... HEAD CHOPPED!
Im not sure if this is a post battle feature (execution) or mid battle special attack (preferable), but this game is begging for real carnage, which Bannerlord looks to have, judging by the amount of blood. Well done. Want to make gamers heads really roll? Lets us cut some ****ing heads off.
Something else that would make the game all the more dynamic/realistic is the ability to strategically flank/sneak/hide/penetrate past forward enemy troops to find and kill the leader of an opposing force. I realize many of those leaders are vital NPCs with roles to play out, but this is what I would consider in many battles were it possible. This would not be a clear and easy method for winning. In fact if the attempt fails it should be absolutely punishing for your character and troops, but if faction leaders had weaknesses that could be exploited a wise leader could find themselves face to face with said lord and have the chance to... Cut his ****ing head off!
GIVE US THE POWER!
