Before Bannerlord EA was released, I played a Pendor file for a good 2 weeks or so before switching over to Bannerlord. I imagine most people who play Pendor (or at least, most of their playthroughs) don't end in a true victory. After all, we only play games for fun and when a game starts being less fun, most people are going to drop it and maybe play something else.

For me, I usually find myself quitting a game of Warband after I've conquered a few castles or a town. Dealing with the enemy lords' never-ending supply of troops while my own army accrues attrition gets to frustrating and that frustration gets multiplied tenfold in a tough mod like Pendor.

5000 days now and is still going. Konigur has become like a dwarf, dweling in the mountains soon to be vassal less.

I have began my Eternal War with the Baccus snake worshippers. My devoted Simps are now ravaging their land, burning them out of their burrows, and trampling these ground crawlers with the mighty hooves of their warhorse. All they can do now is hiss at us with their fork tongues.
