I say this every time I see the "muh 8 years of development" point being made. Time is not and has never been a reliable indicator of how good a game will be. Look at The Witcher 3, Duke Nukem Forever, TF2 and Half-Life 2 and their development times. Game development does not happen in a constant linear fashion. Whining about time spent in development will literally only hurt yourself as a consumer and the game developers themselves. It´s part of the reason we´re being drowned in ****ty unfinished AAA titles like Fallout 76, Battlefield 5 and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint.

Waiting for 10 years makes it feel only more hurtful.

If we at least get some good, well implemented mechanics, I'd be content. With just a few hints of lore here and there, we can fill in the blanks with our own imaginations and still have some good RP fun. The space sim X4:Foundations is a case in point. The X Universe has some pretty decent lore behind it, but you'd never really know that playing the latest release of the game. The campaign story mode is soulless and void but the mechanics are there, it's an openworld/sandbox game, and they give you just enough generic content to enable you to create your own stories. And if nothing else, Bannerlord has potential for some really enjoyable mechanics.

I agree with all of this, the only thing I’ll add is that in some areas it feels like a complete downgrade from warband
While the goal is to feel like an upgrade right?
Where the **** do these threads come from?
Well you’d hope so, the whole courting system is a downgrade, banners are a downgrade, companions are a downgrade and etc. Bannerlord feels like a reskinned warband with less soul and heart
if they were listening to feedback you think we would at the very least be able to save formations to the god damn hot ket we assign them after virtually an entire month of waiting. ya i understand there are structural things to fix first, but at launch something as basic, simple and fundamental to the gameplay like this should have worked. literally just being able to save your game and having your settings actually stay the same.
