Hello everyone! Now I know many of you probably don't care for my opinion but I just thought I would throw my opinion out there about Bannerlord right now. I currently have roughly 50 hours on the game now and instead of writing a review and bashing the game, I'm just going to give my opinion along with constructive criticism from a player perspective. The game has not even fully come out yet and I think they really just delivered a snapshot of what the game will really be like, so I think people should just take a step back and watch the game develop instead of getting mad at the bugs and problems.
This is just my sole - mulitplayer take becuase thats really all I play.
My Multiplayer take:
The game so far has been a step up I would say for sure. There are a lot of things they could fix though too. Team Deathmatch is fun, just kinda confusing at some points when you spawn in on one side of the map, then when you die you spawn in on the other side, free for all spawn should not be used in TDM, just my opinion because it does get confusing. I'm going to leave captain out because I only played one game of it and did not really enjoy it at all, there is not any communication throughout teams I've noticed in every game mode like there was in Warband. The game mode that I play the most is definitely Seige. To make the game mode more fun I would add 100v100 and if the engine cannot run that right now at least make it 150 players total instead of 120. Seige, in my opinion, is the best game mode so far in the game, with the most amount of players in a game mode it makes it more fun, more killing, more team communication (to the little amount there is), and it just, in my opinion, flows better than the other game modes. Now saying that I guess the constructive criticism that I would give is:
-fix the class system, even the old Warband class system was better than this, much easier to understand and more options to pick what you want.
-archers are the way to overpowered and just a nerf would definitely help, there are some games where I see more archers than infantry and cavalry total.
- add private servers, this adds the idea of clans and allowing there to be full-on battles or wars on private servers, that's where the real multiplayer is. Coming from being in many clans in Warband and Napoleonic Wars, the game is way more fun when you're in a clan or regiment. Just my opinion though.
My final worry about the game: I am afraid people will stop playing the game before it really even comes out. I see tons of people bashing it on the forums complaining, the devs see it and work on it, I just think we need to work with them to help make the game better. The last thing I wanna see is this game ending up dead like Warband in its final years.
