A lot of people will say that this is a fantastic single player game with so many different scenarios and creativity due to the popular mods out there. What people don't really talk about however is the amazing multi-player experience that exists through popular mods. I am a very competitive player by nature and appreciate games where skill is involved and respected. To have a game that can challenge me skill wise and on a different platform than an FPS or Fighting system was revolutionary for me. I have maybe 3 hours playing the single player mode on this but have easily spent over 5000 hours playing the C-RPG multiplayer mod for warband. Being able to build a character with certain attributes that complimented my playing style compared to the other thousand builds out there really helps create a very balanced and unique multiplayer experience. More importantly however is that you gain gold by playing which can be hused to buy hundreds of weapons and armor to truly customize your characters appearance and stats. Whether being an incredibly agile sword dancer or a big slow brute with tons of HP and Damage dealing potential, every duel in a battle server is unique. What makes this better is when you throw the clan system into play in the battle server where up to 100 vs 100 characters can fight it out create very interesting dynamics of team work or solo play with your respective guild. I'm sure I will never find a similar experience for the rest of my life in a multiplayer game. I just pray that bannerlord creates a similar system in place for players like myself that love medieval fighting in a skilled multiplayer setting.
