Ok but I respectfully disagree... If mods can add things like village management and functionality, improved battles, a greater variety of hand-crafted scenes, better + deeper options for diplomacy ... and kingdom management, then what you have is hugely different to the base game.

You honestly think they will make more money off this community than a lump sum sale of the IP? I think you're way off. They burned the community too hard with this failure.
Well....I think good medieval combat games are rare enough that a modded bannerlord will still be popular. Even if some of the old school community have quit in disgust. But I might be wrong...
Notice you said 'Improvements'. I'm sorry no - that's not a hugely different game at all. Adding a little extra functionality onto some of the side-features does not create an entirely different game. Warband Diplomacy Mod added a lot. Was I not playing Warband then?
Because any common sense would tell you how unrealistic and frankly insane that statement is. Like what do you think is going to happen? TW are going to pop into the thread and go...
"You know what - actually that's a great idea let's do it!"
And let's remember we are talking about a game with 87% Positive reviews on steam. which has been consistently in steams top played game for 2 years...
I seriously doubt they'd sell the whole kit & kaboodle, though it's certainly possible that they will want to license out the engine the way they did with Warband. It would be very interesting to see what another game studio could do with under-the-hood access to the engine.

Honestly, the game would be orders of magnitude better if TW came to the forums and accepted some of the feedback provided.
Especially this feedback.
Duh_TW is literally here all the time!
You can see all the responses he has given here....
What more do you want? His phone number?

Are you seriously saying TW has done a good job communicating with the community and "working alongside our community...utilizing feedback to bring it to the level that both our community and we expect"???
Are you really that much of an abject simp?
First of all you need to calm down.
Secondly - someone disagreeing with you does not make them X or Y. Use your own words instead of relying on meaningless tag-lines.
Thirdly- it's not criticism I take issue with - it's meaningless troll threads like this that add nothing to the conversation.
...They have do it, and it was called WotR...

Hahahaha. This is rich. First, there is no emotion tied to any of this. I'm not emotionally invested in Bannerlord. I'm simply suggesting that TW sell the IP because I honestly think its a good business decision for them, and good for us.
Its good for them, because again, I honestly think they will not be able to hoodwink everyone again. They sold Bannerlord off of hype and false promises. Only an idiot would buy another game from TW after Bannerlord.
Its good for us, because maybe another developer will actually care about making Bannerlord an interesting game. With interesting choices, dialogue, and interconnected systems that GASP - actually effect the sandbox environment.
Secondly, you cry foul then play the victim. Its comical that you say HERE LOOK AT THIS DEV INTERACTING ALL THE TIME - yet we all know communication and feedback with TW has been ABYSMAL this entire EA. And denying that fact, just outs you as an abject TW simp to everyone who has followed the development of the game.
Thirdly, you may think its a troll thread, but I seriously wish they would sell this IP to anyone. Hell, sell it to the MORHAU or Chivalry people, or sell it to Amazon, who can poor tons of resources into the game. TW has demonstrated that literally anyone else would be better.
I always thought this was the best solution benefiting all sides. Taleworlds are obviously not interested in making a better Mount and Blade game, there's little innovation and even regression. The chief developer (who can't be named because I'll get moderator warning... seriously) got old and tired and ceased to be a driving force behind the development.
So, selling the franchise does make sense for Taleworlds, if the money is right. They can then split the loot and close the shop, or take some risk and develop something that is new and exciting for them, like the Star Villager game they are working on.
As for us players, it really depends who buys the franchise. We don't know if the new developer would do something better with it, but we do know that Taleworlds can't. What we do get is new hope.

This certainly sounds like someone who is not emotionally invested. You have totally convinced me of that fact. Congratulations - well done.
Nope - doesn't at all sound like someone desperately venting to a captive audience.
They don't do much as publishers. Tyranny from Obsidian was snobbed despite being published by paradox and was better than pillars of eternity.
Age of wonders 3 with the two expansion was amazing (was a little lame on the release before the patches that made the races matter more), Triumph didn't change much in worse or better, they did the planetfall with espansions too.
With bloodlines 2 Is a disaster....they didn't even bother to inform what Is happening.
Minor paradox project are often better than major project, for example Darkest hour Is better than Hoi3.
Sell me my Elephant DLC.
Also, modders get ready to fix it.

They are still here because they don't know how to express frustration like adults. Things are either one extreme or the other.
Yes, this game is frustratingly shallow but it's still a lot of fun and the mods will eventually unleash its full potential. Just like vanilla warband. But, for some reason everyone here likes to use extreme hyperbole.

A lot of people are simultaneously frustrated with the pace of development and the missing features and excited by what modders will do when the game is finally released.
