I think there’s true magic to the game, but a lot of that can collide with nostalgia. I still play it waiting for bannerlord and I still have a blast, even though I’ve been playing it for 3 years now.

Bannerlord is easily better than Warband in the vacuum of vanilla singleplayer but it will take years to be better than Warband as a whole.

I do like that they are trying to make things more "believable" with the whole family aspect. Let's be honest, warband is really lacking in that department. Which does make the game a bit boring after a while. Bannerlord too, but it already takes a lot longer with those mini games they added.

I like how right after Koifish was going to say that the game didn't have any bugs, not only was he viewing the back of his shield instead of the merchant, but also when he went onto the overworld map, the oceans were nothing but literal cow-water (which is a bug that frequently happens to me as well)

Ah yes, Köífïsh plays Warband again... We have the great knights of Swadia, which always declare war against everyone before sitting down and having a feast, and losing all of their lands. Then we got the Rodocks... Maybe they take one Swadian castle and wreck the sarranids before settling down and deflecting all sieges with their braindead crossbowmen and glaives. Then the sarranids, sand bois. You'll never see them because they usually get wrecked in less than a week. They suck anyway. Then you got the kerghs. Or however you spell that shit, all you gotta know is they have horse archers and nobody likes horse archers so dollar store Kahn survives the whole game. Then you got Vageirs. Or the Russians, great archers. But the Nords are better, consider them dead in about a week. Then you have the Nords, strong axe bois. Usually bully everyone on the map

I love warband so much! I haven't been able to play Bannerlord that much because of graphical restrictions on my laptop, but I've got almost 900 hours in Warband. The crazy thing isbI haven't finished a file. I've never fully conquered Calradia. My only complaint is that I always fall back into roughly the same build, but it's still fun as hell to be the sharpest of shooters with a bow and nearly unkillable in combat. Combine that with Native's busted ass Swadian Knights and you have a combo that is literally able to go 25 vs 300 in major battles and come out with the worst casualties being injuries or maybe a death or two. I love Warband. Easily one of my favorite games of all time.
