So basically Adventure Mode but with M&B type graphics and gameplay?

Pretty close to that, yeah.

Hired? You mean conscripted, right?

more like indentured servitude.

we're all paid in random loot boxes that may or may not contain salary. each one costs 90% of your usual check and they're mandatory, like most places that have direct deposit. 

most times i get a key for a 20% discount on a skin in a game i haven't (or don't want to) buy. inflation pushed the price of Mass Effect Virgo Stellar Stream to $120 USD.

In the future, the EA draft took most of us into the Great DRM War. Thankfully, it was the DRM war to end all DRM wars, so nothing to worry about!

sidenote: the Pro DRM side won. you need to literally walk to your nearest EA compliance office to activate the code manually. it costs 20$ and needs to be renewed every month.

the least realistic part of this post is the idea of inflation

New Bannerlord trailer from Gamescom 2018

Direct your attention to 1:50... that was definitely two people felled with a single axe-swipe.

Look's like it's time to git gud again.

IGN also has 6 minutes of early game gameplay up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTVKMcWu_CE

And I think there is a half hour clip with more gameplay and an interview from some other site, but I can't remember which. The game's looking cool, but I doubt it'll be out this year.

Good thing Warband still holds up with mods.

Still, this is looking good. Like a proper iteration of the game, which is pretty much exactly what I'm hoping for. Would be nice to see more of the late game, though. I'm hoping there is more keep you engaged as a vassal and/or running a kingdom than in Warband.

At this point is just feels like Taleworlds is teasing us with how we can't play the game yet.

Gotta bring the hype train up to speed to crash into cash cow station, y'know?

I think we will all be dead by the time this comes out...

im so hyped about what little i've seen that when people say bannerlord, i get all "FUCK YEAH" and have the strongest urge to play warband.

while we're on the subject of mount and blade in general, what's everyone's favorite mods?

i like viking conquest, the dlc/mod made by the same people who made brytenwalda, a really good early medieval era mod.

i also like nova aetas, a massive vanilla plus mod that adds the ability to settle a new area thats populated by hostile tribesmen.

I was on a Warsword Conquest binge for a few days earlier this month. Apparently it's getting a massive update in a month or two, though.

the 1200 mod was really fun... as for multiplayer, Mount & Musket was baller, NW was great but MM was where it was at.

There was some Chinese-translated mod, 'Light and Darkness' I think, that added in stamina and dashing that was nice.  Also had a hilariously overpowered troop tree for villager women that gave them a really strong triple-shot crossbow.  Arrowstorm is my favorite tactic, so I enjoyed that.

Gekokujo is pretty cool too.  Warring States period Japan mod.  I didn't really like the change that lumps bowmen and gunners together, but samurai battles to Touhou metal is pretty great.

I can't remember what it was called, but there was one other mod, too.  It let me start as a Rebel, which made all the lords hate me, but all the villages and cities love me, and I remember it mostly because it was the only playthrough I really ever had enough strength to take on cities and lords.  There were axeguns and riflespears and my army was mostly successful because I had dudes hauling around these like rad hwacha rocket launcher things, and I think a couple months in demons appeared, and I whooped some and stole a sickass demon horse and like a Revan mask or something.  Good times.

I liked the GoT mod.

It's alright. What I kept finding was every faction I joined would start getting the screws put to them. I sweated it out as a Lannister Soldier for a long time before getting a promotion, and spent most of the game following lesser Lannister lords around while they get their shit pushed in, meanwhile Tywin was off somewhere with half the Lannister army doing who knows what the fuck.

Every time I play M&B I wanna join a house or faction but always end up being an independent mercenary. Easier to make money, easier to move around, and you rarely get backed in to a corner like you do whenever you're playing as a faction.
