Add on option for directional attack keybinds?

[Buckets Keebler]

Is there any chance we could get an option for directional attack keybinds? I realize that I can use the directional keys but that's really not satisfactory. I get that you longtime M&B players are perfectly happy with the current system; I'm not trying to take that away from you. I'd just like to see an additional option for players like me.

If there's no shot of devs adding support for this does anyone know of a mod that could do the same?

Thats like asking for bluetooth and a car charger being hooked up to a toaster because you want it to be more modern. Only so much can be done to the base of something before you can no longer edit it.

It's not like that. At all.

Yeah Idk what Dagoth is on about. But to the OP, I gotta say don't you think that should be last on the list?

Then your outlander brainwaves can't function on my superior Dunmer intelligence fields.

you can't have mordhau levels of options because this isn't mordhau, the most you'll get is what we currently have or a little more because you don't get that many options to attack with to begin with/

Wouldn't this directly ruin the game balance on multiplayer?

It is without a doubt quicker and more accurate response to do a single input then a sequenced 2 part input.

M&B requires a sequence of 2 inputs to initiate an attack, mouse movement and then mouse button.

Oddly enough this is the feature of Chiv and Mordhau that I absolutely hate. Not only is it essentially sanctioned cheating, but it ruins the momentum experience you get from moving the mouse with your character to swing the weapon.


That all aside, if it was locked to single player only...go for it.
(fairly certain you can create macro's that access the mouse movement direction to do this anyway)

Yep agreed.The attacking/aiming in this game is really outdated and feels very unintuitive.Had to switch from mouse aiming(completely trash) to directional buttons witch is somewhat ok on foot but a nightmare on a horse:(

Confused...how is it un-intuitive?
People toss this around occasionally and it makes no sense to me.

If in real life if one wants to swing a stick in a vertical strike. The arm needs to raise the stick up and then bring it down.

Compare this to mount and blade...you move your mouse/arm in the positive y axis. Then you select the attack or block option. If you are attacking, you benefit in speed bonus (increases damage) by moving the mouse in the negative y axis with your swing.

Just like in real life....arm moves up, then arms moves down....and the faster your arm moves down with the swing the harder the stick hits something.


Now compare that to just pressing the letter "Y" and explain...seriously, explain how that is more intuitive.

But you dont need to move your entire head up with it, which is essentially what you are doing when you move the camera.

Is the erratic head movement also just like real life?





I have no interest in using buttons over the camera for combat but i am not against devs adding in more keybinding options to make the game more enjoyable to a larger group of people. There is no downside to devs adding it.

Why not just practice and get good at the system as is?

Seems silly to nerf it so you can play as if you actually have the skill.

[Berzerker Jay]

Hope that doesn't come off harsh, but what I've always liked about this franchise is that it's accessible but offers the greatest rewards for a challenge. It can be unforgiving, and if anything I think Bannerlord is already weak in that regard.

There is nothing hard about using the camera for combat. It is about comfort not skill. Trying to deny people that option is ridiculous.

There is such a mod

Entire head movement, depends on the fighting method. Boxing vrs wrestling.

Rapid eye movement, absolutely. This can be used offensively and defensively.

Makes me wonder if you ever tried any sort of combat training to make such a comment.

Again, no that isn't what is happening. You have an over the shoulder 3rd person view where the camera is moving with your arms/torso. The head just follows along since the bones are restricted that way.

There is such a mod now. This thread is 5 years old. There wasn't a mod at that time.
