first take a look at this ancient thread with lots of wisdom

then i will take it from the dots... If .960 is the last beta before 1.0, does that mean...........
............that we will never see the running/stamina that has like millions of post implemented
............that we will never see formations
............that we will never see the difference between passive blocking and parrying and keep BLOCKING a great axe with an arming sword or a wooden staff
............that we will never see naval combats
............that we will never see a dynamic economics/population/migration/starvation/blabla system
............that we will never see a dynamic weapon slot system that would make sense (yeah 4 daggers cost the same amount of space as 4 poleaxes true)
............that we will never see catapults and damaging walls (remember couched lance to walls in 800)
............that we will never see horses refusing to run into trees and have their own ai
............that we will never see dynamic price system or a price chart to really become a merchant
............that we will keep seeing soldiers swinging swords behind walls and succeed with hitting us.... this one is pathetic
............that we will never see pre-combat options (ambush, prepared defense etc) or world map stealth depending on the terrain
............that we will never see our soldiers mixed into squads
............that we will never see weapons/wound system (blunt weapon with 120 speed bonus to the head knocks you down, but poking with a spear kills you)
............that we will never see real changes to the towns/villages that we have (building a school? i would rather kill the bandits and refuse villagers' gifts)
............that we will keep seeing assholes making lists like this one
and many more could be added.
and before someone writes moddable next to the things i wrote just like this guy did

.......................................................................unless someone sacrifices his precious lifetime and make a mod that would earn him nothing.
to tell the truth i knew that this game would be this half finished combat simulator since the 751 to 800 update; since it was almost purely a graphics enhancement but didn t want to believe. i was sure by the time paradox interactive or what ever became the official publisher/distributor. now the developers have their most crucial excuse: WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME SORRY. and they never had the courtesy to tell us to stop wasting our time coming up with many of the ideas, because they were never going to be implemented. i for once asked this here
http://forums.taleworlds.net/index.php/ ... 417.0.html but the discussion interestingly turned into whether removable limbs were going to happen or not as it always in this forum.
since this game sold many copies when it was beta (and i don t believe that 1.00 will exceed that number) it could go on like this for another year or two years and wouldn t hurt. i m telling you this ladies and gentlemen: this game was appealing because it was unfinished, and many people bought it not because of what it was but because of what it could be. many of the people that i convinced into buying and i, bought this game because we thought it was going to be the new daggerfall or something. but adding a .40 versions to this game and saying it's done will take it away basically because it is/will look mediocre.
this game had two options: either polish what it was good at, combat simulation; or add strategy, interaction, quest etc. to that. to be honest neither happened.
nothing has changed in terms of combat scene except the backspace options and minimap; and nothing has changed other then the new features that we get by pressing q in terms of gameplay and world map since 751. minor things like owning villages mean nothing to me, sorry. owning a village and not being able to tell them what to produce for this year, not being able to open shops to turn them into towns, not being able to make profit out of them other then recruiting and taxes don t help it. neither the auto-generating caravans that carry random material (food, weapons, raw material or what?!) which don t affect the world other then an arbitrary term, aka the "prosperity".
i m not saying that i didn t get the utility that 20+ paypal dollars could offer, no i m not saying that. i enjoyed this game a lot (mostly thanks to the modders). but still it is a disappointment. the first game that comes from my country that looks like a real game, that s something to be proud of, but still 2+ years that i saw could bring out a much better result with better interaction with the audience. even if the hardcore modders like yoshi and ancient and many others had access to the main codes they could have produce something better.
to summarize: what made this game playable for years was the mods which is pure altruistic efforts of the players. but that same devotion didn t come form the developers. no it is not their game. that maybe true in commercial terms but ethically this is your game and you deserved more.
yani diyorum ki... sen elalemin çabasıyla bu oyunu ayakta tut ama karşılık olarak bir kere bile cevap verme, dediklerini kaale alma, onların istediği yönde çaba sarfetme. bence olacak iş değil.
never mind the turkish...
thanks.
