Personally, i think a M&B2 with multiplayer as an option would be good. This way people who don't like multiplayer can still enjoy the game, and people who do like it could enjoy it even more. i'd be willing to see what TaleWorlds has to offer in the MMO Action RPG/Simulation genre, but if its no good, i'd keep playing single player. and i'm willing to bet if they do make a sequel to this game (note, sequel, not expansion), it will have an improved engine because by the time they do, even more advanced game engines will be out. Before a sequel to M&B, i bet they'd make an expansion first, maybe 2, but then try a new game. companies that make sequels to the same game over and over again eventually lose their flare. like Rockstar, for example, they make many GTA games, but they space it out over quite a while, and develop other games in the process, and the same goes for a lot of other companies. They have one famed series, but they have other good games as well. I hope TaleWorlds does develop other games. i doubt, and this is just me, that TaleWorlds will want to be credited as "That company who makes Mount&Blade games." These are all my thoughts however, we'll have to wait for armagan or someone to post here or announce personally what they have in stored for us
