Since I've started playing the game years ago (boy i sure am gay), there hasn't been a patch that has drastically changed the game for me. It's a warband mod, and that's what it'll be. Moderate animation and damage changes, bah. There have just about always been weapons that I've felt were particularly strong in comparison to others, but none that were completely unreasonable. Same with builds at certain times.
If you've developed a decent degree of skill, you can be successful in the game using just about anything.
After another patch, some people are going to say it is absolute shit, some people are gonna say that its breddy gud 5/5, and I'm barely going to notice, but I reckon I'll keep killing people.
So, you know, no pressure from me. I'm sure that every member of the team working on this patch is unspeakably relieved.
You're welcome, everyone.
