The towns look really pretty but it seems almost pointless to actually walk around in them, except for roleplaying (larping).

Agreed. I love that you can click on a portrait and be taken directly to that person to speed things up.

During the campaign / quests some people don't show up in the fast click menu and you have to enter the town to find them.

Standin' pretty. In this dust that was a city.
Apparently you can't choose your starting area. Bit disappointing.
It's the campaign mode, so probably that's why.
They could give different starting weapons for each background: as two handed battanian with bow skills I had only one handed and polearm weapons for the whole tutorial.
The third to last character choice (military career) does exactly that.

I played Bannerlord yesterday and I thought it was okay.

10 hours went by quicker than I could realise. The game is just as engrossing as Warband. But a little bit more polished in some areas, but not others like [STRING LITTLE BROTHER INVALID NAME NOT FOUND] oh and that awful bit where [STRING GIVING A SHIT INVALID] However, Native is still a pretty bland setting.

Bring on the Warhammer and LotR mods.

Got it for 40 Eurobucks at Cdkeys! Good bargain. Can't wait to give it a try.

Regarding the collision problems that Lithium Flower is describing, I doubt anything that was fixable in Warband won't be fixable in Bannerlord. :fabulously_optimistic:

By all accounts, everything should be even more fixable. Taleworlds are claiming much less of Bannerlord is hardcoded. So even greater feats of modding can be achieved even easier than before.

The character editor reminds me of the story when I let my wife play Dragon Age Inquisition. Spent 40 minutes just on choosing a hairstyle in the character editor. In the end went with a Qunari.

I'd say that every gamer who ever played a game that had a character editor with their partner knows that particular problem...

The asymmetry option is a nice touch, given how deformed people were in the middle ages.
