Even in its current extremely flawed state, I got more enjoyment out of it than any other modern game that's come out in the past 10 or so years and unlike those games, this one at least has a small chance for the devs to get their **** together + future mods to look forward to.
If you haven't found a game in the last 10 years that can either top Bannerlord or be more enjoyable, then.. respectfully saying, I'm sorry. There are a lot of good games out there, better than this.
Do not get me wrong, though. I too enjoy Bannerlord (and fully aware it could be miles better). Last night I was rekindling with Warband mods, while I LOVE Prophecy of Pendor (thank you MadVader for the custom order tutorial and cheats <3) and Perisno for the amount of depth they have (which Bannerlord might not even reach), functional features etc... the engine is too dated for me in regards to character movement and combat. I love all the little touches that Bannerlord adds for those, (I like the perk system despite how long it took them to implement it), just wish there wasn't as many broken or unimplemented features mixed in there.
Unfortunately, I can only play the game with mods like the previous game, it's just this one needs many more hands to hold. I have a fully functional modpack of like 45 mods for 1.5.9. The problem is, I'm never satisfied with mods and I haven't played the game in a good month because I'm waiting for the perfect patch. I've been saying that for months now. Plus it's still EA and mods break so I would have to sit down and go these boards or nexus and manually see what mod is compatible with what, I'd rather just play Warband mods.
