They had better have something playable this year. Seriously.

Have you been following the weekly dev diaries? It looks like it's coming along very well.

Hate to sound like an ass...but its been looking that way for a few years now...the stuff they show is great...but I am not seeing anything getting us closer to release.

In fact the recent dev blog that covered siege engines gave us almost zero information...because they shared all that literally 2 years ago. It's a worrying sign if they have to regurgitate feature from 2 years ago as an update.

With the total lack of PR since their lead developer left, I can't imagine it's all sunshine and chocolates.

[JimboM12]

hire me, paradox. hire me and avoid the dreaded loot box plague.

I'm here from the future, to brag about our version of Mount & Blade III! Become the jealous, you shall!

In the new Mount & Blade, you will no longer have to train up troops from recruits, instead you will open lootboxes to randomly get different kinds of troops! Oh, and it's an online-only multiplayer-only game now! Enemy lords have been replaced with internet shitlords! The only voice acted line is the classic, fan-favorite "ETS AHLMOST HAARVESTIN SEASON"! Exclamation points! The only downside is the game takes place in 1972, which threw us off for a little but you get used to it!

Haha, fool! Everyone was hired by EA!

[Ozyton]

Hired? You mean conscripted, right?

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!

[JimboM12]

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.

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.

You know what my absolute perfect game would be, which I could probably get lost in forever after?

Dwarf Fortress style world generation and character development, coupled with M&B's gameplay where you wander around an open world map going on adventures Skyrim-style learning about the procedurally-generated history of the world or build up political influence/territory and lead armies.

Such a game would probably suck up 20,000 hours of my life.

[Ozyton]

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

[JimboM12]

oh right, can't you 'claim' towns in adv. mode?

idk really, i've never really played adv mode, im a fort boy.

[nenjin]

Should really give it a try. It's a totally different beast but enthralling in its own way.
