Is that really all we should expect after years of waiting and so much money thrown at it?
Ok. So where's my independent village fief from Warband? Is that an "upgrade?"
I am not going to get into the semantics of, that finished game had a thing and this unfinished one does not because you dont want to stick to the context of me saying that too many people are suggesting that this game should be like another game in a different genre.
Ask me if I think Bannerlord should have all the features of Warband and more by the time its finished and get your answer...which you should actually already have from me saying
Bannerlord should remain only an upgraded version of previous games perhaps with a few new features (obviously better graphic and engine) and hopefully easier modding.
I mean, if that doesnt answer your question, what will?
Don't you think the more elements from Warband mods TW adds to base code, the more time you and other modders will have to put into trying things that couldn't even have been tried before in Warband, instead of "correcting" design issues in the base game?
How do you think Warband came about? From all the ideas modders came up with for M&B before it.
How do you think WF&S came about? Because someone came up with an easy way to make area damage via throwing a STONE which was quicky applied to arrows and TA DAA, magic was also born but everyone knew it meant that canon's could be implemented.
How do you think VC came about? Built off a total conversion mod AND with the team that made it.
We came up with most of the stuff you know about in Warband and there is still far more in mods that never made it into any M&B release. Do you honestly think I want TW to implement a magic system? Hell NO. Because that would mean we have to deal with THEIR magic code along with the rest of the games code, to actually make a good one we want. Instead, give us the damn modding tools and go away. With only the base code to have to work around, we can make more and have less BS to deal with by building the magic code/graphics/rules ourselves....100 modders wanting to get it done, building off each others work and ideas we will end up with more in the end. This was even done with Skyrim...having to redo that terrible system and still be crippled by the dumbass idea of only being able to have 2 active spells at once. Ugh. Would have been easier if they never had magic in the game in the first place. Open system = limited only by the modders abilities.
Anyway, we still have no idea how many things have not be put in by TWs that will be there by release so any complaint of "I Paid blah blah and am not getting waah waah" just says that you need to stop buying early access games...they are not for people like you. Buy games when they are COMPLETE so anything you say is missing is actually justified even slightly and, since you apparently played Warband, then you should have faith that we modders, will be giving you all the things from Warband and far more. Direct your energy into getting their official tools into our hands so we can create mods of much higher quality and containing all the things we currently cannot do like create entire scenes, make our own maps, animations and all the wonderful things that come with large mods
We all want a great game. Wouldnt you rather have the small team at TWs focus on fixing what they have, releasing what they havent yet and allow the 1000s of modders to unleash another 10+ years worth of context via mods...faster? ?
