I just have 2 vague requests for Bannerlord; More diverse gameplay, and expand the **** out of multiplayer and modding.
More diverse game-play; Warband always boiled down into the same path; Kill bandits/looters, get noticed, fight for lord, get fiefs, form faction, conquer world.
That's exciting the first time, but there is literally nothing else to do in the game. In Bannerlord I hope we see the opportunity to become a bandit king, to loot and pillage the world. Or maybe become the leading mercenary, being in charge of a knightly order or the most extensive mercenary companies in Calradia. How about saving the empire and becoming Emperor? Why not expand the tournament system, so much so that you go through the old empire rising through various tournament ranks til you play in the grand coliseums we've seen, alone or with companions (anyone play the old Lucasarts game Gladius? oh nostalgia) I mean it's perfect for Mount and Blade. We've also seen interest from TW in expanding diplomacy so there are more options to expansion than "Surrender or Die".
Onto Multiplayer; It will take time, but I hope Bannerlord expands beyond the variety we already see in Warband, I mean already we've seen incredibly creative stuff such as PW which is basically a MMO in Mount and Blade, Nord Invasion, cRPG, etc. I hope that the modability of Bannerlord allows for these mods (and future mods) to be way less obtuse and have many more QoL features that are currently impossible to implement, one being how hard it is to actually start on these servers because a lot of functions in mods like PW are buggy and... odd .If M/b multiplayer turned into a lobby to play totally different online games, I'd be happy. I'd be even happier if the server limits were expanded from 200 to something crazy like 1,000 instead.
At this point I'm just writing down my thoughts, anyone else share these wishes?
