even with the class system
even when they took out battle mode(i know they are adding it eventually but they are not adding it for matchmaking which is terrible imo)
even when they started changing the mechanics of units (making shield infantry obsolete by adding a very large speed penalty to all shields so that shield bearers would be surrounded by non shield bearers no matter how light their gear was making archers the most powerful unit in the game (imo))
i kept playing
but when they added passive perks destroying the fundamental basics of combat (swing speed bonus especially) that was the "last straw" for me
i tried playing another game
i tried: chivalry 2, mordau, New world,last oasis, Narake:bladepoint, warhammer 2 total war, super smash bros, etc (the last couple weren't really melee games i know)
but they were all terrible (or just not what i like anymore after i got used to the mount and blade series)
i know bannerlord isn't what we wanted and it seems to be going in a very wrong direction
but there isn't another game that even comes close to what this series has accomplished
the beauty of taleworld's combat system isn't something any other game can replicate
we shouldn't worry about the new designs because we will all probably play some modded version instead anyways that wont have all this perk nonsense etc
at the very core of this new engine is a good combat system, however much crowded with bad outlying designs
so this just an appreciation thread
your games are great and bannerlord will be getting better
thanks taleworlds, and keep up the good work
