Anon who entered /mbg/ in the divegrass tournament this past summer here. I signed the team up for an invitational that should be taking place this next weekend and maybe the next one but it's going to be much smaller than the other one at 8 teams instead of 96. This is the tentative roster. This tournament only allows 2 silver players per team instead of 3 so Battania FC and Mommy Empress have been demoted while Sea Raider has been promoted back to silver. Positions are still TBD because I'm fucking around with tactics but if you guys want to see different starters or player positions changed up let me know. I can also modify player models if they aren't too difficult for a retard like me to do

I-I-I play as a female character because uh uh, I like to play archer, and as a archer having a small hitbox is very important so you won't get hit by projectiles! The female character model is 75% of the size of a male character and then you can also make yourself the minimum hight that way noone will be able to hit you during a seige! Haha! It's all just meta gaming as I obviously don't fantasize about being a 20 year old girl cauae I play on fast mode with life and death enabled since I like my words dynamic! This means, to play optimally I had to offered myself up for marriage and get impregnated back to back a few times to make sure I have backup characters to play as incase I die, which is obviously not because I have a breeding kink! I just fucking love archerlord haha

Any good Rome themed mods for this series? preferably with a proper Mediterranean map

3.61 MB JPG

>>2316343
There are many Rome mods for warband, check the warband mods section on the official forum. The one I've seen recommended the most is Aut Caesar aut Nihil, and while it is good, it starts when Rome is already at the apex of its power, so it's probably not a good choice if you want to actually do the Roman conquests (but it has in-depth Emperorship mechanics with policies, revolts etc)
There was also a Russian mod with a large emphasis on legions and serving in one as a soldier and rising all the way to legate or something but AFAIK they've never finished it
If you only care about battles and not the overmap campaign gameplay then feel free to download any of the numerous multiplayer-only Rome mods and play with bots

Trying out a warband mod for a change, holy shit people who say warband companions were better are downright hallucinating

It depends on your randomly generated father and mother during game start. I noticed this when I had a peter dinklage sized brother. You can hit back and forward to reroll your parents until you get white aryan blue eyed blonde hair parents that are 6 feet tall or till you get BBC race mixed edition.

The Nords look like a bunch of emos. If you think Nords are cool, then you're their target demographic: a gay retard. Even Sturgians look better than those gay cunts.

You should step up your game and run an all female party with My Little Warband.

What mods should I get for the first time playing bannerlord? I have like 200 hours in warband but that was like idk 10 years ago, but I remember warband well enough.
My friend tells me the companions are really bad in bannerlord and have no story is that true? He says stuff like the map is better than warband and I loved the warband map. A lot of bannerlord just makes me want to play warband but I'm gonna try to stick with bannerlord. So.. what mods! (and I guess any other tips)
I read the pastebin but it's 6 years outdated.

>>2320601
>My friend tells me the companions are really bad in bannerlord and have no story is that true?
They are essentially randomly generated using templates. They all have a specific background (you can found multiple with the same background throughout the playthrough), and their initial skills and personality will depend on that background.

Im thinking of buying Butterlord due to playing a fair share of Warband in my past.
But can you get pregnant playing as a female/impregnate multiple wives/concubines as male?
Is there some lair/castle/house building mechanic where you can build something of your own rather than just conquering prexisting towns?
Is it possible to play a comfy mid level trader without going all out into wars and sieges with everyone? Is there a survival aspect now with food and sleep?
Mods welcomed desu.

>>2335932
>Im thinking of buying Butterlord
i wouldn't if i were you.
it lacks the small roleplaying features that made warband feel alive. but it runs better than warband by a lot, looks better, has very nice qol features especially menus and has bigger battles (1000 troops).
mods haven't added the lords' interaction features to warband level yet.
you'll be missing warband while playing bannerlord but won't be able to have fun in warband after tasting the qol features bannerlord has.
>can you get pregnant playing as a female
yes
>/impregnate multiple wives/concubines as male?
with mods, yes. although the best sex mod imo is still not updated. Primae Noctis.
>Is there some lair/castle/house building mechanic where you can build something of your own rather than just conquering prexisting towns?
no
>Is it possible to play a comfy mid level trader without going all out into wars and sieges with everyone?
yes. they even went full retard and allowed the player to hold towns as a non-faction so no one can declare war on you once you pay them for peace.
idk how viable is trade right now.
>Is there a survival aspect now with food and sleep?
no
>Mods welcomed desu
a gorillion mods are basically a requirement to make bannerlord fun yet you will still miss interacting with lords since no mod has them implemented properly.
and desu, it's not the modders' job to do it.

>>2335932
>But can you get pregnant playing as a female/impregnate multiple wives/concubines as male?
You can get pregnant, it has no gameplay effect. If you are male you can only impregnate your wife
>Is there some lair/castle/house building mechanic where you can build something of your own rather than just conquering prexisting towns?
No, sadly.
>Is it possible to play a comfy mid level trader without going all out into wars and sieges with everyone?
Sure you can be a trader. Gets boring quick though. Might be a bit better with War Sails.
Is there a survival aspect now with food and sleep?
No, sadly.

I say get it on sale, along with War Sails. Definitely not worth full price if you have hundreds or thousands of hours in warband and go in expecting upgrades all around.
For people who have little to no experience with warband I say go ahead and buy it full price and they will still have a great time.

>>2335997

Damn shame.. guess ill wait for a sale then and go back to Warband in the meantime.
I wonder if some new mods dropped that make shit i described possible in Warband tho

>(looted) >>2314411

>>2335932
>multiple wives and pregnacies
Try Dramalord. You can have lovers, break up and marry again, you can let enemy ladies out of prison with sex.
>comfy trader
Very much possible
The start is slow, but a trade only run is more than possible. Find reliable trade routes, have your companions run caravans. Once you max out in trade, you can just buy fiefs and conquer this way. Definitely use the "workshops completed mod". Xorberax Legacy also has a banking system if you want to engage in it.
>survival aspect
Not really
>lair/castle/house building
You can develop conquered castles and towns, and they even change visually according to wall levels. But besides that, no. There is a mod called player settlements that lets you do it though.

When I get to the mid/late game where I have a big army and signed up as a vassal, how do I leverage that into actually expanding the faction against larger opponents? I signed up with the underdog faction with only 3 towns left (nords), and it feels like no matter how many battles I win personally, all the lords escape prison instantly and I can't do shit against a 1200 horse archer doomstack with my 200 nord infantry while my faction keep throwing armies half that size to their deaths

you need to create clan parties and run with a clan army 24/7. a clan army costs zero influence to call and upkeep.
now you're running with 500-1000 troops instead.
and if you install party AI controls to prevent donations, all those troops are now tier 5 so you can easily win battles where you're slightly outnumbered without many casualties.

>>2338031
Norf FC Empire is the best to join as Lucon is old as fuck. He will usually die first of the three rulers, letting you take over.

Western Empire has the best aesthetics, and is bretty gud if you want to retvrn to a early roman style Empire.

Southern Empire is for being a Rhagaea simp.
>>2338454
Imo, the essentials are:
>diplomacy
>Xorberax Legacy
>Tutelage
>Improved Garrisons
>Fouberie (for rogue/bandit runs)

>>2338031
>>2338463
I'm no simp but it should be obvious to anyone that the northern empire is the only empire that isn't built on bullshit and lies. The empire was never mono-dynastic and the Neretzes were in power before Arenicos, Arenicos simply came in clutch after Pendraic, clans playing musical chairs on the throne is literally the oldest tradition. Rhagaea acts like being queen for an emperor that didn't even last a single generation is big shit when her husband was only there by the consent of the Senate. Meanwhile Garios thinks he can pull an Arenicos by collecting the shitiest lords(literally, all of his supporters are some flavor of evil or bastard) and claiming he does it for the soldiers, which he continues to meatwave at other imperials instead of protecting the fucking border. And for all the talk of the Nimps being corrupt greedy oligarchs their lords have all the best traits and treat the player well, handing out fiefs earlier and starting less retarded wars.

Calrados would be spinning in his grave if he knew Charassea is in the hands of Vl*ndians....

>>2338560
The amusing part about Rhagaea is how Ira ends up with the marriage rules. The southern Empire kind of loses its point when Ira joins some random ass Khuzait or Vlandian clan on marriage.

>>2338463
Danke! I've heard good things about Diplomacy and Improved Garrisons; will have to check out the others.

I think the nords with wolf heads look kinda retarded and unserious. Seriously, the only tier 5 infantry of the nords that looks halfway decent is the skaldbestir

Is Realm of Thrones good?

>>2338636
The lack of different systems of power transition across factions is one of the biggest thing that makes them feel fake and gay imo. Second only to the instant votes/Calradian zoom meetings.

are any of the 'tweaks' mods functional with war sails? i'd like to play but i kind of need some tweaks to enjoy the game for a while

>>2339085
Well warlord mod has feasts at least

>>2339222
I've come to the conclusion feasts are better off the game. I don't want to see NPCs standing around in silence doing nothing any more, when i find lords in the same place like after capturing a castle it's already immersion breaking that they can barely find a good place to sit, but if the game made a whole production out of it it and encouraged you to go, it would just suck dick. They need to have some default Oblivion style yapping and greets for NPCs, then they need to have cutscenes like they have for births, marriages and deaths as intros to tournaments, voting sessions and random gatherings, like lords dancing and feasting at a hall, and maybe some of the annoying random event menus. Just anything to pack the immersion no matter what.

What's the verdict on cultural kingdoms?
https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/8957

>>2339753
Seems pretty cool, but I kind of hope the interfaction stuff dont war each other as often as the outer faction ones.

Based. Javelin cavalry are a ton of fun, especially if you can flank a shieldwall. Sturgia also has great aesthetics, with plemty of armor parts to build a lot of cool armor fits.
>>2339753
I installed it. It is quite nice having so many extra colors on the map. It definitely slows the game down, with steamrolling being highly hampered. The smaller factions take way longer to assemble proper armies to conquer. If they lose a few fiefs they can become completely passive and useless. Being a Warband butterfag, I wanted to help Svadia, but according to the mod author's lore, they are just the worst kingdom ever. Still, I managed to save them. I also quite enjoyed merc-ing for the Vanni, one city + a bunch of castles is around it and a main river is a very comfy kingdom setup.

Lucon is such a fucking faggot in my current playthrough. I even merc'd for him to stymie the bleed, they genuinely might've been eliminated before two years had passed if I didn't.

are there any mods that make children inherit stats from their parents?

Lucon's timid as fuck in war and the Nimps always get spitroasted by Sturgia and Khuzaits but if they survive a few years they usually end up better positioned than Wimps because they have much more productive cities

in my playthrough they lost Amprela and almost all the eastern towns to Sturgia then somehow they pulled a hail mary and snatched a couple Khuzait towns while the Sturgians and Khuzaits were busy with eachother, and the Sturgians got busy with the vlandians and Battanians, which still exist somehow. Meanwhile, Garios got captured and executed by Aserai and the Rhagaea is limping along with only three towns left.

Kind of depends. They can be useful, but you can also play until the midgame without getting a single ship. If you want to start early, you can get a longship by doing or skipping the dlc campaign. Then, hunting sea raiders/corsairs and taking their ships to be sold is a great source of boatswain xp and cash.

Holy shit lmao. I used to play as a raider.

Feeling like an idea guy again.

It's kinda stupid that you can just trade with any town in any teritory even when you are a lord with a big ass party in tow and your factions aren't at least allies. And the only other option is just raiding and looting. There should be more interactions with villages, first being allowed to enter with a bigger party instead of camping outside should require relationship, fees or speech checks, especially if your party has foreign culture or bandit troops. Same with being allowed to trade there, maybe getting the lords or governor permission at their castle/town. Or you could rely on a merchant caravan and camp followers traveling to and from settlements to bring you food and supplies at a mark up.

Then for hostilities maybe you could comandeer a village by force, requisit their goods or force them to sell you more stuff or for cheaper for the war effort. Maybe you could occupy them by leaving a garrison after defeating the local militia, which would be subject to random revolts and guerrilla attacks but give you its income without destroying it by looting. Or you could actually raze it like a genocidal horde and leave it uninhabitable for way longer. Just need more options for factions to behave differently depending on the individual lord or their cultural differences.

I really hate how mods like Perisno and PoP have a lot of troop trees without any infrantry with shields. What am I supposed to send infantry to soak the arrows or send cavalry to die without any support?

the combination of random crashes when browsing the unit trees and the fact that gunpowder armies are the most fun to play on the field but completely useless for both siege attack and defense makes me not want to play
the only realistic way of conquering shit is either stacking melee infantry or making your own kingdom and getting cannons as your siege weapons to wear down the cities without a battle

>>2345269
Yeah, I almost had it crash when I went through the unit tree and then it randomly froze on the campaign map. Fun not allowed... Maybe in a year

Is the South Empire and Khuzaits still ganking blocks with the war sails expansion? I heard nords are kinda weak in the conquest department because the lack of cav fucks the land autoresolve. Hows the overall power level of the different factions now?

I think one of the main problems with trading in Bannerlord and its mods are the NPC caravans. They balance and kill out the profit margins way too fast compared to town consumption rate

>>2344738
I wouldn't know, I played pirated before and even when I bought these games I sometimes played with pirated copy or just without steam or GoG launchers open.
I would say Warband still more, but that's from when I was less picky for games and a teen and also had more time for games in general.

I went from Realm of Thrones to Shokuho back to Warband with AWOIAF to Perisno to Prophesy of Pendor, home.
I'll just have to acknowledge that nothing will ever come close to PoP

>>2347190

I haven't tried it yet, but there's the Warhammer mod, The Old Realms. It has magic though, so not exactly what I'd like to see in a fantasy setting

I like the naval combat and how retarded and fun the new perks are, I only wish my game didn't shit itself now that I have +50 ships on my command

>>2315348
>>2315358
>>2347805
Yeah the naval combat is great and the people bitch are complaining that they don't have an age of sail ship of the line destroying target hundred of meters away with gunfire.
The naval boarding is fun, ranged skirmish play is a solid option and is in many ways meta, though a boatload of nord or sturg shock troops will steamroll more archery crews if they make contact.

The only thing I wish is that some medium ships could mount ballista, and large ships could mount more than one weapon with an option for stuff like catapults.

I'd love to see a Dromon with like three weapon mounts, fore and on either wing. Something like a Round ship having weapons fore, sides and aft.

Have these be upgrades in the battlement and shield slots that reduce your deck crew potential in favor of a siege weapon.

Maybe give the Drakkar are special ballista that fires chain grapples from long range that allow the Drakkar to reel in kiting ships from longer range.

Also I'd like to See several medium ships, in particular Liburna, War Cog and Sambuk get a Ballista mount to spice up mid game and also make them more valuable in large battles than they currently are. Given that battles are capped on ships hulls it feels like there is no reason not to bring as many large hull as possible simply to pack as many men and ballista into your force as possible, with medium ships being brought ONLY if you are out of large hulls and still have deck crew surplus.

PoP is good but it suffers from trying to simultaniously be just like Tolkien and not like Tolkien at all. While GoT is doing the same, it also has enough original ideas and niche interests (I fucking LOVE sigils too, George) where PoP feels like off-brand tolkien--the same bit slightly different and generally not quite as good. I still liked it, though.

Personally I yearn for the corvus

>>2348139
>corvus
used decisively in one single war in antiquity and then never mentioned again.

It was a cope to allow a navally incompetent army fight a masterful navy in a way that simulated a land battle. But was abandoned the very second the romans figured out How 2 Boat properly.

Its effects on ship handling were likely massive given the small ships of the day and I bet if you Failed to connect the weight of the fall bridge would capsized and sink the attacking ship.

Theres a reason the romans did not persist in its use despite it winning a few battle for them decisively, it was a deeply flawed weapon used out of abject desperation by an army that was forced to fight at sea and being thrashed by actual mariners.

There is no army in bannerlord that worthless on the seas.

>>2348144
That is all true but have you considered it's fucking cool?

>>2348146
Ok, but only if it makes any ships its mounted on sink with all hands when a wave happens.

I dont actually object to them being added, thought I shudder to think of the physics demands. I'm just really sick of "Much corvus" coming up literally anytime ancient naval combat is discussed. It was literally a footnote of a devices used for less than a decade and was probably responsible for the loss in rough seas of literally thousands of men.

>although I like the other Armor mods I think they are too "historically accurate" for a Calradian setting. Does that make sense?

I don't really find the historical pieces a problem since there ARE a lot of historical artifacts just transplanted directly onto the base game, for example the Deir El Medina helmet, the Italo-Norman masked helmet, and the Coppergate helmet, but they are just too goddamn big and design-wise don't fit in with vanilla assets, unless you rape your GPU with a million shader effects to make the lightning super dark and gritty, they stick out a LOT because of the different mail textures and shinnier metal. I wish someone would actually take a crack at just upgrading the vanilla stuff instead of piling on new stuff. Also too samey, we don't NEED everyone to have their own specific variant of the same mail coatand lamellar. It's specially bad when it's western stuff because 10th/11th century western European kit is bland as fuck, We don't even the the truly unique stuff like the pointy conic nasalhelms.

I just can't get into OSA though. For every good armor variant they make, there's like five that are completely superfluous and don't look good and doesn't feel like they fit any purpose. I'd love a lite version where all the crap that has random fur glued on, or where they take a leather or scale coat and make it a play-pretend solid metal cuirass, or where they just bash together parts with the wrong colors, is taken out.

no it doesn't, it doesn't show in the stats, and it's not noticeable in game, it at BEST increases the total value of the thing if you want to grind more smithing XP and flip your mass produced junk for a profit

Deepen the roleplay element when it comes to lords and kingdoms. Keep the clan system and add a personal relationship as well. Make the relationship system as deep, if not moreso, than the kingdom management and battlefield RTS parts of the game.

>message arrives from rhagaea

could start by making this make some sense atleast

>>2353784
Deepen the influence and renown system. The best way would be to turn influence within a faction into a zero-sum game, IE. every point of renown you get is taken away from another lord. If you get too much renown you will incur the jealousy or mistrust of lords who aren't your friends, so they will begin to undermine you. Influence decays overtime and can only be given by either the faction leader or from the ground up, doing tasks for notables and winning battles.

Lords would undermine you through a variety of means from manipulating markets and production to ruin your incomes and impoverish your fief, sending bandits and unwanted refugees your way, spreading rumors about you(based off things you've actually done), or just straight up hiring assassins to get you and your clan members. Every faction should have 2-3 bastard lords out to fuck with you to make it interesting.

It just ended up making me sad that POP isn't getting updated anymore.

Have any total conversion mods incorporated the nord expansion in any meaningful way? Or were at least updated to be compatible?

the little lore they bothered to have in game is even more ruined, not to mention the topology, hydrology and geology don't make any fucking sense anymore.

>>2355771
ty but i think i fixed it. it was the bannercolor persistence mod.. I don't know how to export my modlist.. this game's modding community is in the stoneage compared to Rimworld's desu

I feel like playing some mountain blade, but I don't know what. I've played last days of the third age recently, and war sails not too long ago too.
I just turned on 1257 ad for 15 minutes and turned it off.
God I wish the Old Realms update would come out sooner, I wanna smash me some ork heads.

I'm a huge sucker for making my own custom troops in mods. Watching units I made score kills is incredibly satisfying. But I feel like the trees I play with in various mods end up being kinda samey. I avoid getting horse archers not to get too overpowered. So usually end up with some one handed/shield/throwing weapon infantry main branch, some pike/two-hander infantry branch as an anti-cavlary force, and some relatively light cavalry with long lances and one handers for flanking or riding down fleeing enemies. Usually have archers as an elite troop, because I feel like otherwise I'd just make most of my army ranged, which would probably end up too strong, too.
What kind of custom troops do you usually make? Do you follow any themes, copy real armies or anything like that?

I am playing Banderlord for the first time since 2022 to try some of the historical conversions that are out now. Currently playing Burning Empires with some additional mods and I am actually enjoying it. I once wrote the game off as unsalvageable.

How do I even get the War Sails update for realm of thrones?

>>2356068
It's hard to copy real armies because the game is so unbalaced and favors archers too much. Foot skirmishers are probably the most fun to command.

What are some solid Bannerlord full conversion mods?
I like Old Realms a lot, I've played a bunch of Shokuho (solid, but largely the same game mechanically), and some EoE 1100 (though I've found it pretty mediocre, with very shit troop trees). What else it there?

>>2356156
Welp, I already gave up and uninstalled it. Randomly crashed on me 4 times in like 3 hours. Exact same thing that made me uninstall it the last time I played it. I'm pretty disappointed. I thought the game would be fixed or at least mod friendly by now. The fuck is the point of this stupid game if the base game is so unfinished that you need to install mods to make it interesting but the game clearly cant handle having more than one or two mods installed so it just crashes constantly.

>>2356432
You've picked up the game right after a mayor update and DLC came and bulldozed years of work regarding stability and moddability. A lot of mods don't even work with 1.3 yet.

>>2356443
Doesn't matter, Burning Empires hasn't been updated so I had to downgrade to 1.2.12 to play it. I made sure all the mods I installed were for 1.2.12. I followed the guide on their d*scord for compatible mods then added a few extra, nothing big just small immersion mods like Alive Scenes. Still crashed constantly.

anyone would get tired of having to fix their mod over and over again

Why the fuck does RBM rape the economy? im finding 30+ armor handguards that cost 300.....

>>2336809
When you are the martial, call all of the lords to help fight. You can pretty much have a permanent faction doomstack of your own and conquer the map in a week.

I haven't played Perisno since 1.5, so I thought I'd play it now, but I can't decide on the race, faction and build I wanna go with. The other time I had played I think I just went with a human, INT focused, with a lance, shield and a one hander, siding with Tolrania before making my own kingdom later.
I should really go with something else now for diversity's sake, but I kinda just like this sort of playstyle.
Logically, playing a full STR melee infantry Giant or Dwarf, or maybe a horse archer Elf would probably be the most different, but running around with no horse is a pain in the ass, and using top tier archers is kinda too OP to be fun imo. Plus the human kingdoms have the coolest looking troops.
Anyone played recently? And recommendations for race/build/faction?

I had the same exact issue. Regular battles are fine, but sieges are atrociously bugged. From the mods I've tried, it's by far the best mod when it comes to troop formations. But I gave up on it eventually.

Last update break my game once again, my fault for not stopping the automatic updates.
I guess I'll just reinstall those sweet 98.3 gbs

any Realistic Battle Mod users here? The mod is great but it really rapes the economy, anyone knows an alternative/fix to this? or any other mod that makes a fuckedup economy playable by raising difficulty or cost of units/upkeep etc??

i use rbm with a unit overhaul mod called warlords battlefield and the economy rape is not as bad since stuff like elite cavalry units need noble mounts which are 8k each
overall its a massive upgrade over vanilla unit trees and noble/elite units are actually elite with twice the stats of regular units

>>2357584
Can you post your modlist/mod order? i'm using warlords battlefield also, but I also use Calradia at War mod and the true battle loot/army cost mods.. maybe true battle loot in combination with others fucked the economy too hard..

>>2357595
diplomacy
realistic battle mod
warlords battlefield
improved garrisons

those are the only things that impact the economy in my game the rest are qol stuff like leave on click

Is there a mod that actually makes infantry worth a shit in Bannerlord?

Like bonus vs cav for polearms, actual armor that blocks arrows etc

>>2357778
give them crossbows or javelins + shields

>>2357778
Realistic combat adjustments make infantry less clumsy and more lethal in general.

Unblockable thrusts makes spear and pike units actually work as they should and keep enemies at bay especially shieldless enemies and cavalry.

Spears rework makes all spears faster and more lethal and spear inf become a real menace.

>>2324682
Floris is great

There should be a mod that disallows small parties from engaging in battles with large armies. There's no way an army of 5000 would ever bother to chase a party of 3-4, and there's no way a party of 3-4 would engage an army of 5000. There should be some sort of mod that requires being within 75% of the other parties numeric value in order to be able to engage.

Thoughts?

Someone clearly didn't think about balancing

>>2358296
There's one thing that's painfully absent from Bannerlord and that makes a lot of the conquering feel less important and that is the value of land, terrain and routes completely independently of the actual locations on the map.

The presence of roads and routes for trade and the movement of armies isn't accounted for in any way other than the random chance they may get attacked by bandits and enemies, which doesn't actually happen that much to matter. Land stops being productive if the villages get raided but there's nothing like the land as a whole being occupied, raided and foraged by parties passing by or something like migrating tribes and reducing the production and prosperity, or being affected by floods, droughts, blizards, plagues, etc. Having roads cross a fief should make it more valuable because caravans have to pass through, and if that piece of land is in enemy hands or has a bandit infestation the caravans would go the whole way around through a different route and shoot up prices. The AI doesn't really give a shit abou who owns what land even though the entire system is built on fief ownership.

author was working on an update a few months ago though

Haven't ever tried a Bannerlord mod before, torn between trying Shokuho and Realm of Thrones. Is one of them just install and play or will I have to add in extra mods for more features for either? Shokuho seems more feature complete?

have consoles (ps4/5) been bugfix patched yet or not, I had to uninstall months ago, the game literally stopped working, every combat crashed, talking to people crash, breath to close to the console crash. did they fix it or not care?

inb4 "console", i'm typing on a pc get a life. responders, please be better than my expectations and just say yes or no. thanks
