Do you think taleworlds are forgetting what made them great or are they improving from the old games? Yes or no?

The combat in multiplayer has, at least in the beginning of the closed beta, caused participants (especially several M&B veterans) to complain. The UI design has been criticized for looking like one of those micro-transaction based online mini-games... And don't get me started on the current Bannerlord banner situation.

Even though it is not released, and though many things will be subject to change, I don't see an issue in talking about last known facts of gameplay.
With that, I'm going to hit off saying they aren't, as let's be honest, most issues(yes issues) will be fixed or adjusted by mods as was with Native Warband.
That being said, there are a number of design features that don't stick well with me, one being the character portraits. They look really really bad imo.
My personal worry for bannerlord however, which is still prevalent is its encyclopedia. This is going to be a massive game, however, having the ability to google search information on basically anything is ridiculous, especially considering the setting. Want to know where a lord is? Just search the encyclopedia. Want to know how many troops in the garrison of any castle(friend or for)? Encyclopedia. WANT TO KNOW THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FIELDED TROOPS OF YOUR RIVAL FACTION?? Dw encyclopedias got you covered. Yes, it is a streamlined system, but it builds on top of the issue I'm sure many veterans have faced in SP, and that's the power of winning most engagements because they are(for the most part) the initiator which in turn, is what makes late-game Warband awfully bland.
TL; DR: If the encyclopedia stays the way it was shown back in Gamescom and September vid, it will have lost its identity of being a challenging game strategically and logistically.
Especially early game, it won't feel like you are an adventurer in this world, rather a literal scholar using that given info to raise yourself.

Sgt._Pepper 说:Bannerlord is not even released yet, how can it lose its identity? Do you mean "Is Bannerlord not the same as Warband"?
