Been waiting SO LONG for this.
I got into the first M&B when it was still beta, right after SP was added.
It's so good. I mean, I loved the previous games, and yeah this is like Warband but with more features and better graphics... but #%&*$# what a nice recipe they've been working on for the past decade + . So glad that the release has been successful. Hope the team does very well for all their work.
I was going to just mess around a little until it was out of early access, but I couldn't help just diving into a full campaign. So far, not many game killing bugs, and they're releasing patches regularly.
Battles are better, sieges are way better. I like being a sergeant under command of another general. Still haven't taken command of a whole army yet.
I was a little disappointed that towns still feel lifeless, interactions with the stilted random NPCs are weak. Maybe I've been playing Witcher 3 too much, but non-combat is not very immersive.
Slightly embarrassed to admit that I'm excited they are adding auto-block direction because I stink at manually block control. I'll turn that on as soon as it's available. Just using shields for now.
