Just one thing I have noticed in the third screenshot of the update (the guy in the inn): The guy has his sword and the scabbard on his back (Dragon Age style).
Carrying swords on the back is not a comfortable and realistic thing. People in real-life almost always wore their one handed swords on their waist, since it is much easier and more convenient to draw it from there. Try drawing it from back and you will see how stupid you look when trying to do that!
Since Mount and Blade series have so far aimed for practical realism in a fictional world, I think it would be cool to consider such things
