Shouldn't those immersion breaking "undead" and "monsters" be replaced by something like raiders and bandits. Doesn't that better help  you feel like a feudal lord defending his fief during times of trouble.

Yes. Who even came up with the idea of mixing the best game online with Twilight style rubbish.
No. (And I might or might not be a Twilight fan)
Yes. But I don't believe they should be replaced with 'raiders' or 'bandits.' I have a better idea.

I realize I'm feeding the troll here, but I did want to address the "immersion" question: No, I'm not saying BM should ignore "immersion", or in better terms, its "flavor". It wouldn't be the same game if it didn't incorporate the feudal elements it does.

What I'm debating is if one can truly be immersed in a lightweight game like BM and its dedication to "you get out what you put in". I guess some people get very invested in their characters, sure, but that's not really caused by the game mechanics. Besides, the term is used in all kinds of games, including those that are much more outlandish than this. It's less about what things are called and more about how much it makes you care about your character's actions and empathize with them as they experience the corresponding consequences.
