10 Video Games Where You Can Join ALL Sides At The Same Time
5. Mercenary Of War - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
Like its predecessor, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is a giant medieval sandbox that allows you to roleplay the fiefdom experience any way you like!
Typically, the way you play Bannerlord is by choosing one of the several warring kingdoms in the game and then slowly climbing your way to the top of its feudal hierarchy. You can also create your own faction, but if playing one side isn’t your thing at all, there is a way to be friends with everyone instead!
Because of its open-ended gameplay, Bannerlord allows you to play as a mercenary of war that doesn’t pick any favorites. It’s completely possible to play all sides and have a high reputation with every faction at once, even though they are always at war with each other.
In fact, doing so can have great benefits for you, as you can choose which conflicts you enter and which side you will support, making sure you always come out victorious. Not only that, if you have good relationships with both sides of the conflict, you’re less likely to suffer the full consequences of getting captured or losing a battle.
After all, everyone loves a friendly neighborhood mercenary!
