It has been a couple of weeks since Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord released in Early Access on Steam. Even in its current state the game is very popular, and there are hundreds of mods available for download.
The game is missing several things, and one of them is gore. Though fear not, because the modder jedijosh920 has already created a dismemberment mod for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.
The mod adds the gore aspect of dismemberment. Both players and NPCs will get a chance to decapitate the head of the enemy, if they do fatal cut damage to an enemy’s head by swinging left or right.
You can download the mod from here, and you can also take a look at the video showcasing the mod below.
Have fun chopping those heads clean off!

dismemberment
noun
The action of cutting off a person’s or animal’s limbs
As of right now it’s a beheading mod.
Or decapitation mod.
this mod is very unstable and crashes the game.
install peasant banners instead, it’s the best must have mod at the moment.
Hilarious.
Why some people enjoy this?
It makes me think of the ultra gore effects in Brutal Doom.
Isn’t it kinda useless?
Aren’t video games kind of useless? Why do people enjoy them?
That wasn’t my point. Gore can be “funny” in some games like Carmageddon or Postal, because it is part of the gameplay, and these games are like parodies anyway. It’s also okay when it adds realism.
But when modders do gore, I notice it’s always over-the-top, and it usually looks very creepy. Some finishing moves in Brutal Doom are just pure torture, and the added voices in Project Brutality show that they add fun making it as painful looking as possible.
Okay, this is not the case here (apparently), but still, I’m always disturbed when I see gore mods…
Then you did a terrible job making your point. It adds realism in this. It is wildly unrealistic for a game about medieval combat to not have any form of dismemberment, and as little gore as Bannerlord has. I was hoping the mod would add full dismemberment and not just decapitation.
You are critical of this based entirely on your own personal biases and subjective criteria. Because you don’t enjoy it and your sense of humor doesn’t encompass this, you think it is creepy and disturbing. Are you really incapable of seeing the mod’s appeal for people who play this game?
I know, I know. It must be hard to be 45 and still living with your parents, and you’ve never approached or even talked to a girl in your entire life, so now you hate them all. It’s understandable.
Well, here’s the good news : you’re going to die alone.
Ah STFU, limp d*ck.
Dismemberment should be minimal for this medieval game.
