Im a vet of Napoleonic Wars and im pretty decent at Warband, this new combat style though has been throwing me for a loop, I think there is ridiculous amounts of ghost reach and some not so great hitboxes especially with shields. Where as in NW and Warband you can fight multiple opponents at the very least comfortably, it is much more wanky because of the easy glances, or the retarded ghost reach that makes it extremely hard to time attacks even if you have been facing the same weapon over and over in combat. And i wouldn't take my word when it comes to the blocking lightely, NW people get hagged on alot for melee and the sort but you need to remember that WE DONT AND NEVER HAD SHIELDS, all of our blocking is with weapon in hand, im a very good blocker when it comes to NW and Warband but I hate it in Bannerlord, idk if its textures, timing or what but this game in my opinion is very unforgiving to returning veterans and I think it might turn many away
