Should I buy Bannerlord?

[Paranoid]

I enjoyed Warband so much and a week ago I got the Xbox game pass for free and immediately tried Bannerlord, It's an amazing game but I am afraid after around 50 hours I will not want to play anymore because of the lack of mods compared to a game like Warband, What do you all think? (I had way more hours on Warband on another account That I sold fyi)

Yeah its a good game and modded its a great game

[Fekin]

I bought the game a week or so ago and I really like it but I'm finding it's very difficult to get the game working consistently with mods without the game crashing.

That's the mods' fault, not the game's fault.

I have no mods, and I have no crashes. (I think there is a connection.)

Some mods you gotta revert version for

If they ever finish fixing it, it will be a great game. Buy it next time it goes on sale, but don't expect much joy with mods for more than a couple of weeks until the bugs are shaken out of version 1.3 (which will probably come out around the end of the year).

make sure your downloading mods for the correct build and that are compatible with each other. you can also get total conversion mods that have a load order to us to make sure they work otherwise its all trial and error getting individual mods to work together. nexus mods is a good place for more selection of mods compared to steam but again ts all about the load order

their s a ton of mods to choose from and a few really good total conversion mods such as GOT ROME and a few others ranging from magic and guns so yea got plenty of mod options for this game. Steam wont have them all check out nexus for more mods

IMHO it is a jewel u should definitely buy it mods are where it shines to double the fun buy it cheap on a sale i bought it for 10 dollars approx i also own xbox series s with gamepass but there is no mod support on consloes happy gaming!


Edit: sorry for my bad English

[King Ding]

it's definitely worth it on sale. potentially worth it full price depending on what you like. don't buy it if you're unhappy with the current state of the game but think your gripes will be fixed since there isn't much communication on what will change and when from the devs. there are a lot of fun mods that aren't difficult to get working if you can read english and follow instructions and multiplayer is a good time sink.

My favorite part is how you said 1.3 will probably come out around the end of the year while having absolutely no clue just talking out your ass

@OP, the game is good. Most people whining on the forums have hundreds of hours if not over 1000. I probably wouldn't get it on console but on PC it's worth it because mods are good you just gotta take some time finding the right ones and getting the order down.

I'm not sure if full price is worth it tbh, I think the dev really dropped the ball on a few things and it's not worth the full price, but if you can get it on 25% off it's 100% worth it.

If You like the fighting: sure.

If You like something like roleplay, creating a story, strategy, that Your actions have impact and whatnot: rather not. Except You already have all those games which do this better.

I bought it a few weeks ago and it is the best computer game I have ever played. I can barely sleep i have been enjoying it so much. I am playing vanilla, no mods, ironman, max difficulty. Hundreds of hours and no crashes. All the stuff people complain about here I have found to be really minor inconvenience things. People who have been playing for months or YEARS already are OCD about little nitpicking stuff and really they should just go play a new game and move on. BUY IT and BUY IT NOW!

[Paranoid]

You all convinced me to buy it :), Once the summer sale drops I will add it first to my order list!

[XxEeNnXxEeIi]

Don't buy it now it not worth, It got a big problem here.

- Caravan speed is too fast you can't never catch them.

- Raiding caravan mean starting war, They will cause a big hole to what to do, the only thing you can do before fight with lord is hunting sea raider until get 100 of party size very long long game play and very bored.

- Limit garrison on castle or town, They will bring 2000 of army to take it back while you can hold only 300+- to fight with 2000 this very bad and it almost impossible without doing some glitch or secret trick you can't win them by normal play.

Skill/Knowledge issues here.

Overall, this game is a hack and slash. I compare it to the Warriors (Dynasty/Samurai/etc.) style of games. It's got more depth in combat, and it's much more dangerous - health is a valuable resource - but it's not an RTS style game. Also like Warriors games, the combat is the bread and butter of what you will do. The other systems work well enough to function in the game, but they don't have any depth.

The game doesn't hold your hand or explain things very well (as the poster I quoted is learning). You're going to have issues when you first play because you don't know what to do, and the game isn't going to tell you.

Bannerlord is my game I play when I don't have another game to play. It's a fun way to pass the time.
