Game Finished Yet?
I greatly enjoyed Mount and Blade: Warband and played Mount and Blade 2 back in April of 2020, but ended up giving it a negative review because it was wildly unfinished after years of development and still lacked countless features in their previous games.

How is it now, 4.5 years later? Is it worth playing again compared to its predecessors?

I mainly want to know what systems or elements it has that are improvements.

It's crazy that threads like this get made multiple times a day...

Could I maybe get an answer though? Or maybe a link to another thread where it actually was answered, since apparently this is common knowledge?

Edit: I found a thread or two but they didn't really explain much other than problems, and didn't really outline anything that this game does better than its predecessors.

I was literally about to make a post like this asking if it still gets updates

If anyone does have a list of things that this game does better than past entries, and could give me an overview of the current state of the game, please do share.

I would appreciate it.

If not, well, I guess they got my money years ago and I have lots of other things to play.

Thanks in any case.

There have been quite a few changes. These are some of the ones that have mattered most to me.

- Change to battleloot so you can get high quality gear from battles.
- The ability to recruit captured lords to your kingdom.
- The ability to respec companions perks and a general improvement to the speed at with they level.
- The ability to wipe out a Faction.

Though, these are the relatively more recent changes. It was a mesh back in april 2020.

I can try but I started playing this game much more recently than you so I don't have context for what it looked like in 2020, I do have context for warband though. Fief management is moderately more in depth than warband upgrades tell you exactly how they change the fief like fair grounds improves loyalty.

You can get married and have a kid and then abdicate leadership to your child, or spouse, or anyone in your clan I think, which means you get to play as that character.

You can level up skills infinitely, I can't remember if that was in warband, this translates into getting small bonuses for every point in the skill above the soft cap. For example every point in two handed above 275 gets you .1 percent damage and swing speed.
