Saw that you made this community and reminded me of my many years of playing warband thru childhood. Should I buy Bannerlord for my next playthrough or is it kinda meh? Never heard much about the game.
Old post but here goes: it’s worth it on discount. It lacks some stuff that Warband had (modding being the most important, bannerlord’s modding scene is still in it’s infancy), but has other things that Warband didn’t (Clan system, commander traits, smithing as busted as it is, improvements to AI and combat mechanics). In the end, it depends entirely on you. You souldn’t expect Bannerlord to be Warband 2.0, because it isn’t and I’m not sure it’ll ever be that without some serious elbow grease from both developers and modders, which of course requires quality modding tools, and I’m not sure if they have been improved upon.
TL, DR: Bannerlord is recognizably M&B but feels more like a sidegrade with better graphics and a developing modding scene.
