Is this game worth playing?

[xsdRussell]

I started my mount and blade experince with Bannerlord 2, and i love this game, i like the gameplay of this game, all of its mechanics. So i thought to try out older version, which must be much more "completed" and full of content (+ working mods), and play it until Bannerlord 2 will leave Early Acess.

So what you think about it, is it same good (by gameplay, not graphics), as new one?

For nativ, battles and graphics are worse, everything else is more fleshed and feels more rounded compared to Bannerlord.
For the most part Bannerlord feels unpersonal, more like a strategy game, you get numbers and stuff and have to deal with them somehow. Warband gives you more interaction with NPCs, relation actually feels like it matters, what reaches from the way lords greet you to if they even help you in battle or join your kingdom.
In Warband you can roleplay, that is the biggest and more or less only point why you should try the base game.

Viking Conquest and expecially mods are good enough that only Bannerlords graphics stand as a reason to play it.
If you want a M&B game that does shine outside of battles get Warband, but, please, do not expect a better game than Bannerlord. For the most part they will play the same, but you looses a lot of quality of live features compared to Bannerlord and to notice the things Warband is better in you will have to play a bit.
It might be even better to skip nativ and jump right into mods or Viking Conquest, even so mods and VC are usually much harder than the base game, they provide the best M&B experience up to date.

The main thing with Warband is the amount of good quality mods.

Imho it wills till take years for Bannerlord to reach Warband status - some things like more arcadish combat hardly change thoug and stay better in Warband.

Well made mods after years of developemnt are another chapter - until their devs move them to Bannerlord there is no better MaB experience...

This game is definitely worth playing you can tell it is very fun as when you look in most of the reviews left by others for this game you can easily see a lot of people with 100-1000+ hours of gametime.

With all the total overhaul mods you can pretty much get a different everytime, and the base game is very remarkable as well.

The combat is also very fun, and troop management/open world feel lets you basically become whatever you want (like a robber/lord/mercenary)

Warband is better

(Because I can actually run it for more than 30mins)

Warband has many super mods such as Pop and Perisno. Both are stupid full of content and tons of fun. I'm looking forward to when bannerlord modding matures but for now I'm having more fun in warband playing the mod Pop (aka Prophecy of Pendor)
