✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 52 new companions is a solid chunk of content, doubling the variety you get in vanilla.
- Unique backstories add roleplay depth, making each companion feel like a person, not just a stat block.
- 714 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads show the community digs it.
⚠️ Cons
- No details on how these companions are balanced or if they fit the game's lore, so expect some hit-or-miss integration.
- Last updated in March 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Since it's a content mod, you'll need to start a new playthrough or recruit them in-game, which can be a hassle if you're mid-campaign.
This is for Bannerlord players who are tired of the same generic companions and want more personality in their party. If you enjoy roleplaying or building a themed warband, this mod is a no-brainer. It's also great for veteran players looking to freshen up their playthroughs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- When you start a new campaign, check the taverns in major cities early to find these unique Wanderers before they get hired by other lords.
- Since each companion has a backstory, read their dialogue to figure out which ones fit your playstyle—some might be better as governors or caravan leaders than frontline fighters.
- If you're mid-save, you can still recruit them, but they'll only appear in taverns, so you might need to travel around to find them.
