Fast Dialogue

You can save even more time with the Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord mod Fast Dialogue.

Thanks to the Fast Dialog ue mod, you save the whole process - instead, all the important action options are displayed directly on the map without any loading time.

Detailed Character Creation

Especially the choice of age is crucial, because you can play Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord as a baby. Not only is this a fun Easter Egg, but you'll also be harder to hit and many enemies won't have the heart to attack a toddler.

Invisible Helmet

Imagine you've spent countless hours in the character editor perfecting your hero's appearance. Then you find a globby helmet with a high defense value that completely hides your character's face. Would you rather forgo the looks or the improved stats from the helmet?

With the Invisible Helmet mod for Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord you don't have to answer this question anymore. Thanks to the mod, your headgear will disappear - without you having to give up the defense value of the armor. In addition, an update is planned that will allow you to turn helmets on and off during the game.

Cultured Start

After you have chosen a nation at the beginning of the game, you always start on the same boring map position in Bannerlord. So you have to deal with the same recruitment pool every time you start the game and spend hours and days on unnecessary travel. The Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord modification Cultured Start is a remedy for this.

Once you have downloaded and installed the Cultured Start mod, you can choose the starting point of the next campaign. You can choose between all major cities of the game or let yourself be surprised by the random selection.
