Even Blizzard ( YES it´s an enormous company i know) is giving more informations in 2 months... I mean, even send a little message everyweek ( we don't need videos all the time) [...]

I like the way Obsidian is keeping in touch with their Project Eternity community (I know they sort of owe it to people for getting 4M USD on the kickstarter, but still...) and would love to see a similar approach from Taleworlds.

I wanted to know if they are still the Publisher, because they uploaded a teaser trailer that didn´t show the name of the game. I thought maybe it´s M&B.

We are told to not give out any information whatsoever on what this is about. But I still feel that I can tell you this:

- This trailer is for an unannounced title.
- Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord is announced a long time ago. It's also not published by Paradox Interactive.

...Paradox responds on Twetter to a fan who asked: "Where's M&B2 anyway, and who's publishing?":...

What does that sentence even mean?
Don't blame the Swedes, Adorno. They are only be speak English for the salesmanship of cheap pine furnitures, and in this case DLC.
Besides, you can look at the question he answered with this to determine what his sentence means.
 
In my opinion, the game setting must be more like XIV-XV centuries, instead of something like XIII century in original MnB and Warband.
 
Both are kinda right. You had some mercenary companies that wore pretty ackward clothing, or "flamboyant" as you americans might call:

However those were more common by mid-end 15 century.

Before that (all around 14 and pré-15 century) the more common was what is nowadays known as "knight in plate-armor", a greate example of this was the Hundred Years War (1337 - 1453):

I mean, I find these great, but I can understand why many peoplo wouldn't like it.

Doesn't sounds like you actually do. Some soldiers (mostly mercenaries, because their lifes were short, so they wore bright clothes in order to have just something bright in their lifes) were actually dressed like clowns back in XVI century, but not in XV. XIV-XV century fashion was pretty minimalistic.

And i hope the devs will take a look on them too, and we will see some late middle ages influence in Bannerlord.

And now, especially for Bowman. This is how regular soldiers and people looked like back in XVI century:

But even there the devs can find some interesting examples for the upcoming game that would fit greatly.
 
Interesting trend on cover art there...  :???: From damp medieval traveller to some kind of incredibly showy circus performance where an armoured knight is shot ouut of a cannon. Just seems to get less and less possible as time goes on. Bannerlord cover art ideas anyone? I bet there'll sharks, with like, LASERS.
