"It's a very important aspect of real life and we wanted to translate that into the game," says Armagan, as he speaks on romance in the title. "It's a different kind of challenge."

Re: Mount & Blade: Wedding Planner

Hahhahaha, remember when this game was going to be an rpg?

 

[Herbert West]

They should add laser guns to M&B. Laser guns are even cooler than weddings.

 

[poocolator]

They should add laser guns to M&B. Laser guns are even cooler than weddings.

Already done, through mods.

 

[Brother None]

Nude patch plz.

Also more swards.

Mount & Blade is about wrestling tough guys and their swards.

PS: his body language and tone all speak books of "omfg this shit is stupid and I know it is but fuck the fans want it so fuck it"

 

[MisterStone]

Meh, he's just ripping a feature off of Pirates! (1987).

 

[ChristofferC]

Sounds pretty stupid to me.

 

[MisterStone]

What the game really needs is a feature that lets you bang a lord's wife while the lord is away from the castle. If the lord returns while you are "knowing" her you get caught, hilarity ensues.

Let me guess, it's already in a mod?

 

[Darth Roxor]

But will the potential brides be kidnapped by the evil colonel Mendoza?

 

[Nickless]

What I want to know is, will they be implementing a feature that allows you to seed your own army of bastards in the future?

 

[JarlFrank]

Heh, sounds like the expansion will be... fun.

There's already the Wedding Dance mod, though, complete with full frontal nudity, chainmail bikinis and perpetually erect dicks. Also BDSM dungeons.

 

[Kraszu]

Yes that is exactly what this game needed. :/

 

[Sartar__]

Having looked at Mount & Blade's scripts I imagine this will involve some sort of simple disposition meter. IF faction_adherence = NOT enemy, AND disposition =< X AND quest_# completion flag = 0 go to Greeting1, ELSE... Romanceable_female_NPC will be a character template. Mechanical. The romance dialogue will barely cover that up.

Not much of a feature but it is a good use of advertising opportunity for a small company.

Eventually, there seem to be more features in Warband according from the taleworlds-subforum for the singleplayer-campaign:

- New map
- New faction
- Cut-scenes for events such as marriages
- Marriage and courtship for males
- Marriage for females with more challenges for females
- More complicated relations between nobles
- A unified rebellion/defection system
- Player legitimacy
- Player monarchs
- New quests
- A new diplomatic system
- New lord AI with explainers
- Promotion of companions to lords
- Late game adjustments and balance
- Bar fights
- Morale system

But it´s not confirmed that all of this will be implemented in the final expansion

Hmmm. So they are finally embracing their Pirates! heritage?

I like where it is heading. Now, I reckon all this dating simulator stuff will be major news to all the faggots who enjoy it, but AI improvements, more stuff to do and improved kingdom management are good news indeed... shame it was already done in mods, though.

- New map
- New faction
- Cut-scenes for events such as marriages
- Marriage and courtship for males
- Marriage for females with more challenges for females
- More complicated relations between nobles
- A unified rebellion/defection system
- Player legitimacy
- Player monarchs
- New quests
- A new diplomatic system
- New lord AI with explainers
- Promotion of companions to lords
- Late game adjustments and balance
- Bar fights
- Morale system

Prediction of what would be in without mods to draw from:
- New map
- New faction
- Cut-scenes for events such as marriages
- Marriage and courtship for males
- Marriage for females with more challenges for females
- More complicated relations between nobles
- A unified rebellion/defection system
- Player legitimacy
- Player monarchs
- New quests
- A new diplomatic system
- New lord AI with explainers
- Promotion of companions to lords
- Late game adjustments and balance
- Bar fights
- Morale system

Beside the cutscenes everything was in mods before. If they just program features around the existing code it´s very lazy. I just hope that they implement it well in the hardcode and make the overland ai significantly better.
But adapting / get ideas from mods is good in my opinion. They even employed some modders to finish M&B. And that was a good thing. The companion system and the writing is from a modder as far as I know. And I like it really that you can´t have all companions together and some companios despise each other or are friends together. And the writing brings some background in the sterile world. But I had hoped that there would be more interaction.

Wedding planning should fix before your marriage and take relax on the wedding ceremony.

 

[entertainer]

what the fuck

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

...Did a wedding planner from Hawaii seriously just latch onto a thread about marriage in Mount & Blade?



Or am I taking my pills in the wrong dosage?

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

The ever lower bar of Mount and Blade. How far you have come!

 

[Yeesh]

Wedding planning should fix before your marriage and take relax on the wedding ceremony.

So true. With such wisdom in my corner, my wedding ceremony is going to be smooth sailing. And all this at a price that won't break the bank! Thanks, Maui Weddings!

 

[masonluraa]

Mount and Blade a good wedding planner. I have listen more times from other forum boards.

 

[Baron]

That's okay, English isn't a prerequisite, you're allowed to use your native language here.

Oh... and welcome to the Codex, the friendly gaming fraternity. :D

 

[Morkar Left]

Can you recommend me a good wedding planner? And what about larping a wedding?
