As an invisible member of our community (I have meticulously read every devblog and scrap of info on Bannerlord my greasy little hands could scrounge up, but never comment), I really enjoyed the revelations that this blog had to offer. Though, like most everyone else, I was disappointed to hear of the loss of in-depth town management and the fact that we won't be able to join minor factions (also, no confirmed release date, WHY!?!); I am also happy to hear that TaleWorlds (in their infinite wisdom, hallowed be their names) are continually working to keep the game simple and playable.
I can't speak for anyone else here, but I would vastly prefer a simple game that got its few core concepts perfectly to one that overachieved and spoiled a good idea for everyone.
Plus, it'll be nice to look forward to those left-out features in the next M&B game somewhere in 2183.
