On the other hand for the hostiles, I tell them that I am Terco and I have very nastyness, I pee napalm, eat barbed wire and I am able to shoot a flea in the ass at 100 meters.
I'm watching you all.
Terco all jokes aside, we are glad one of us got to taste the game. Anyway maybe you saw, we are a bit concerned about what we saw in the latest published video. You being the only one along with AJleksander, can you tell us what do you think about the gameplay ?
Personally, I could care less about ''top-tier'' graphics. I care more about the realism during battle, and one of the things that is very nice in this video is how the units react to taking ranged damage. Sadly though, when they fall down to melee damage it's definitely not looking so good a lot of the time. The deathspins are still there, hoping that gets changed. Gameplay looks good, love the environments and the armor sets!

Allow me to momentarily don the proverbial tinfoil hat.
We're all aware that at one point Bannerlord was being developed with the same engine as Warband, but that Taleworlds decided to create a new engine from scratch. And, as previously stated in this thread there were some hiccups along the way.
"Some decisions turned out to be exactly right while some caused problems and we had to backtrack and change them, costing a lot of time and effort."- Armagan Yavuz, 2017
Now, the earliest images and videos for Bannerlord look basically like it was using an upgraded Warband engine. They looked prettier than Warband, but they looked like Warband. Then like in... 2017? We got Gamescom videos that presumably were made with the new engine, and it showed! I thought those videos looked very good, a lot more fluid than the earlier videos and definitely much better than Warband.
Now we get this multiplayer beta video and... well... it looks like a prettier version of Warband. It looks like an excellent Warband mod. We're back to looking at "Bannerlord" images that seem like they're using the Warband engine again.
This is where I put on my tinfoil conspiracy hat, ladies and gentlemen.
What IF - and this is a big "what if"- but WHAT IF... the "decisions" that "caused some problems" and "had to be backtrack[ed] and change[d]" was the decision to make a new engine, and the backtracking was going back to the upgraded Warband engine?
Because that's what this video looks like.

Wait, are we? I thought that the big thing about it was that they went in already knowing new engine is needed?samoht said:
The 'Engine Power' video (2014) even mentions that the team created new engine for the Bannerlord
EDIT: that being said, Armagan admitted to lifting some of the code from previous games in the Q&A.

@samoht I can confirm that. But they started making a new engine around 2011-2012.

Well, if you look at the entire video you will see that the units react to ranged fire extremely realistically. If they get hit in the foot/leg, they crough for half a second, if they get hit in either part of the shoulder, they sway back that shoulder for half a second, if they get hit in the abdomen they hunch over slightly. I don't think it's too much to ask to have the ballerina spins on death modified/removed. Whoever worked on the ranged damage did a damn good job though. Obviously for balance reasons the staggered animation on melee hits can't be too long, thus can't be realistic for that reason, I totally understand that.
