Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord s revamped combat system is a big improvement over the first game, but some fans have been feeling there s one big exception: Automatic blocking.





The game s third-person melee combat is a lot of fun, but requires you to develop pretty fast reflexes if you want to parry enemy attacks or use a two-handed weapon effectively.





The previous games in the Mount & Blade series included automatic blocking, where absent input from the player a character would always attempt to block incoming strikes.
