Early Access is a somewhat arbitrary label anyway. Since it has become standard to work on a game even after a full release, the distinction between EA and Full Release (FR) is fluid.
That means that some games will do an EA that outshines the FR of another, and some FRs would better be labeled EA.
That being said, I trust Taleworlds to deliver one hell of an Early Access.

Resounding meh.
The last early access game I bought was planet coaster. Made by a studio which has far greater acclaim than Taleworlds. And left me rather disappointed. I've been burned enough times to know better and expect better. Taleworlds isn't a cute little indie team any more. If you want people to Beta-test your game hire testers or organise a public beta. But don't expect the community to pay for the privilege of fixing your bugs.
On the upside at least I now don't feel like I have buy on day one and can wait till the price drops.

You announced early access after 7 years. I still believe in you guysCallum_TaleWorlds said:
I really hope that this will be the full version of Bannerlord. I'm ready to play with bugs, but not ready to play with cut out mechanics after 7.5 years development.
I hope in EA content will not be limited
@NPC99 - It is highly likely that we will release the modding tools alongside the full release and not before.
@SenorZorros - In this instance we would actually encourage you to hold on to your money until you feel the game is ready for you to enjoy. The game has a lot of content, there is no doubt about that, but if you want a complete experience you should wait until launch.
@Vairly -The game will not be feature complete during EA. You should definitely wait until full release if you want to play the game in its entirety with everything it has to offer.

Great on one hand...but frickin March on the other?
Don't get me wrong making games is hard, I get it it. (Did it for 15 years before I decided to make money) M&B is a great formula, but alot of moving parts to implement.
Looking forward to EA and remember sometimes less is more...

Well, I think that it would be such a honest and fair act from TW if they made Features Lists by the releasing of the EA. This way, people would know what to expect in EA and what they'll just have to wait for untill full release.
Shows a little bit of respect for the customer's time & money.
Unfortunately, I'm a fan of your game and will even play in a piece of program code...Callum_TaleWorlds said:

I'm just happy we have solid proof the game will be released.
Personally I've been expecting Early Access for awhile, especially since M&B has history with it.
Also TaleWorlds talking about it alot in interviews was a pretty big giveaway.

So, early access isn't for 7 more months, and the game still won't be feature complete by then? Jesus H Christ... I'm not blaming you, Callum, I know you're just the messenger, but what the hell has been going on over there at TW for the past 7 years? The best explanation I can think of is that the devs have been making and remaking parts of the game time and time again, and that's why it's taken so long. The game still isn't feature complete because the devs need to finish putting everything back together again one last time, maybe squeeze in some last-minute improvements and ideas, and finish the stuff that nobody's gotten around to yet because it's been such a cluster**** up until now. It sounds like people haven't had their act together. I hope the devs learn from this before they make the next M&B game.Callum_TaleWorlds said:
MY SARRANID ARCHERS WILL BLOT OUT THE SUN!!!! 
I am so excited for this release, really hope I get into this round of beta testing!
Every thing you just said was such a ****ing disappointment. I mean a real stab in the chest. I appreciate the honesty but bloody hell what is happening with the dev team? The absolute ****ing least you can do is release modding tools so the community can get a head start on developing mods. Cause at your pace, full release could be till March 2021.Callum_TaleWorlds said:
Wow. I am bummed out. I'm not even angry like I usually am. It's just a deep, deep sense of disappointment. Like what even is the point of loving this game? All you get is delay and let down. I've even been wondering, could this be because the game is being self published? If Paradox was still the publisher could they have kept TW more in line?
Well, whatever. Non feature complete EA after 10 ****ing years, with no explanation. TW is very ****ing lucky it has no real competition. Or rather, they can be this lethargic because there's no competition.
Totally agree.Arvenski said:
