The practice fights from the town arenas are quite visceral (nevermind the tournaments). Managed to remain the last one standing and win one of those bouts simply because I carried a sword and a shield.

I somehow managed to win a proper tournament despite making a le happy merchant and all I got was some crappy helmet. At least there seems to be types of tournaments now so it's not just the same old same old.
Training fights are absolutely lame. They throw in with a stick and no shield against archers.

Estimated time till done 25 mins. I'll have been DLing for three hours when this is done. This wait for harvesting season is too much for me.

Actually you get to use various weapons, just like in Warband.

Apparently crafting seems to be included in the current version, it's just that you need higher skills and proper money to create something worthwhile.

wtf is even the point of this game? (yes i know the point is $$$ duh) it's the same as the other mount and blade with SLIGHTLY upgraded graphics?

OG M+B works just fine and the game's actually released with mods and shit

all this hype for a copy paste job with new lighting

I mean you can say this about literally every game sequel ever. Or maybe you need the game to change genre. Maybe to FPS and remove all the RPG stuffs like Fallout 3?

Sturgia's culture bonus looks terrible. Why didn't they give them some kind of boost to footmen instead of something that only works on a tiny part of the map? Only way I can see it being viable is if seasons are in and winter makes the whole map snowy.

Seasons are in, yes. They showed a year or two ago I think.

Seasons was probably the first new feature they revealed, back in like 2014-2015.

Downloading now. Hopefully this will stay enjoyable until the end of quarantine.

Winning tournaments is easier than winning regular practice fights since you get to use your own gear.

AI enemies are definitely deadlier than their Warband counterparts, and can handle melee combat much better.

Still have to try out those board games you can find in each tavern. I believe there is a specific board game for each faction.

Current gameplay time: 3 hours. No crashes so far.

Just purchased and downloading at 10MB/s. Back to work for now but soon we will reduce the quantity of discourse and increase the amount of raiding.

Can you steal their stuff after you knock them? In warband you could just take what they were using but they put bows away when you melee them.
