The game was made 10 years ago. The game was made by a significant smaller team yet modders were able to make total conversion mods.Omg, it's only black and white for you huh? It had a bad framework for mods, noticeable through the being not many mods with their own quests. Those that had them were done with incredible effort by very dedicated people. The same amount of effort could really move mountains in Bannerlord with the proper tools.
Claiming the game is a terrible framework in the technical side yes. But we were talking framework in the context of the native base game. I'm not following what you're saying.
TW will offer a framework, that's what their task is. M&B and I would argue all games nowadays to varying degrees live off mods and community content created off and with that framework. If the framework is good, the mods will be good, more players will come. It's exactly with BL's way of appealing to the masses - which you all complain about
