Yeah, Paradox is pretty good when they leave out the DLCs lol It looks like TaleWorlds recruited some foreign talent based on the developer videos. To me the game looks totally AAA, although I was already happy with the Warband graphics. I love the graphics of Mount & Blade. Have you played any of the mods or expansions for Warband and what's your experience? |
Paradox does like DLCs and I don't fault people for not liking the practice, but they are by far my favorite company when it comes to handling DLCs. Seriously, the life they continue to breathe into games like CKII, Victoria II, EU IV etc years after release is just wonderful, and they're almost always reasonably priced (full expansions usually never topping $20). Vanilla CKII and EU IV would be absolutely unrecognizable if I went back at this point lol, they redefine their games over time like no one I've ever come across. It can be frustrating to have to learn new features and basically be a novice briefly again, but they're almost always big improvements and I just love them for that... it keeps their games from going stale.
I was indeed surprised to see a lot of westerners in what I thought was primarily a Turkish studio when I watched their presentation online, and it looks like they're basically making the game they always wanted to make (just lacking the resources) and we all longed for. I'm just so damn psyched for it lol
I'm trying to remember exactly which I played as I primarily played the game while it was in beta (it was actually one of the first games I came across that sold itself in beta, a practice that's common now). I know I played the heck out of Mount & Blade, and looking at my steam I own Warband and Fire & Sword as well, so I'm pretty sure I played the first though likely neglected Fire & Sword. Was Warband multiplayer? I really don't think I spent much time in that one either, most of my experience was with the original.
