Yeah the foreplay is getting a bit tiresome isn't it?
Extremely. She's the best character but she's written like a timid high school sophomore, episode 6 needs to make it happen.
Yeah moments of excitement followed by a long wait for the next release. Unfortunately the really good ones tend to have the longest development cycle as well. Its the ones that are faster that I mostly think are garbage.
BaDIK is good but it sucks waiting for the next release only to hammer the whole thing out in a few hours.......
I also agree with pretty much all of this. Nothing is worse than getting engrossed in a story just to suddenly encounter a cliffhanger followed by a quarter-long wait for the next update which is typically flown through in the span of an hour or two.
I just don't have the genes to maintain my interest for that long. I was a M&B Warband fiend, looking at Steam I have just about 400 hours on it. Bannerlord? I've had it since it dropped on Steam and I've only put in 7. Waiting for Bannerlord I graduated high school, college, and am now years deep into my career. My interest in the IP has evaporated even if the game turns out better than Warband in every way.
