Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord Developer Blog 5 - Virtual Skeletons

Happy Friday to avid readers and passers by. It has been a little while since our last Bannerlord Blog. In this entry we are once more decreasing the number of unblogged rooms in the office by one. Although some animations are made and polished in various parts of the office, many are captured in our very own motion capture studio near the main door of our offices. The animation hub and thus the associated blog room for this episode.

So this is actually a suggestion for the M&B2Bannerlord. Cant you make like a multiplayer gamemode that like singleplayer? But only whitelisted players can join? I know its alot im asking for but i know alot of people would like this.

That's called Co-operative Campaign (CO-OP), and it's a common suggestion. The developers haven't confirmed or rejected anything as for now.

Either way, Middle English appears to have been pronounced very differently from any modern accent.

You can solve everything with Cockney. Even the damn Sarranids talk in Cockney accent.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

Please for the love of God, no. I'm so unbelievably sick of hearing really gruff low-class (presumably London) English accents in every damn game. Every single fantasy (and most historical) game I play is plagued by these voices.

 

[Slawtering]

Awright guvna, spare a penny for a guy?

 

[Meevar the Mighty]

I kind of enjoy Hollywood's approach of "More than 100 years ago? Better make it Australian".

Since people seem to have basically written phonetically, it's not hard to tell roughly what a medieval English accent would have sounded like.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

If you're not sure what a language's phonemes sound like, the fact that it's written phonetically isn't all that helpful.

 

[Meevar the Mighty]

Yeah, but I think there are enough clues in this case to get at least some picture and rule out any great similarity to modern American or Cockney, for instance.

 

[kalador2]

I think you should definitely add Co-op Campaign feature to the MB2 and could you give us a date about the next blog

 

[Duseda]

cant wait :3

[pellehard]

seema like the survey wants to know alot about multiplayer

 

[Meevar the Mighty]

Aye, some would say the same amount that it wants to know about singleplayer.

Shaping up real nicely!

I do hope that besides the belligerent drunk (classic fan favorite), they add more Questgivers throughout Bannerlord's Calradia, like in the taverns, who dispense with many and unique quests. Also, some of these quests, I'd like to have faction-specific flavor. So for example, the pool of Khergit-specific quests will be different and unique than Swadian and so on. Of course, there should be the Generic Pool available to all factions.

Just through the Quest system, the world of Calradia can be made vibrant. For example, I could totally see that shady guy being some spy or assassin for a rival lord or faction and who gives you a quest, task, or another.

Not bad at all ...very interesting suggestions ....

 

[ares007]

Wow! I'm really liking the attention to adding more immersive animations!

However, I have one huuge request...


please please please please please get some real Historical European Martial Artists to do the motion capture for melee combat 

Or at least study some HEMA on your own

I love the fact that its a mobile game. Can't wait to play it on my iPhone.

Yay for making the whole place look alive!! Everytime I see that picture I go play Warband to quell the pain in my heart. Only hope that the city will look and sound the same! So many things to do and SEEE!!!
