3 Minor suggestions

Not sure if these are already in development, because they're all pretty small things (but still important).

1. A 'Random' button for the face editing screen. If you're making a new character, sometimes you don't want to take the time to make their face look unique.

2. A conversation option which allows you to change your mind when talking to the arena manager. Far too many times have I hastily clicked the 'watch the fight' button, only to have to sit there and actually watch the fight (or make myself a sandwich). There should be a way to change your mind.

3. An option to dump inventory on the world map. When you're loaded down with tools on your way to Turgis, and the Khergit Raiders start to follow you, it could be worth it to just throw away some things to get away.

Other than that, I think this game is awesome. Some of the other suggestions are nice, but I think that they miss the point of the game. I love deep and complex gameplay, but the beauty of Mount & Blade is it's simplicity. I think that if you were to implement some of these complex new changes, the game would lose it's appeal.

How about once a battle is won, instead of automatically wisking you away, give you an option on the top of the screen to exit when you desire... thus allowing you to walk around the battlefield and relax and enjoy the seen for a minute.

I would like a feature to drop some of your cargo. When you have 12 units of praven ale, and are heading towards khudan at a speed of 7.3, it isn't exactly great to see a band of dark knights approaching you at 8.1.

I agree with your idea and it made me think of another that's a bit the opposite of what you've suggested.

A fight should not end just because you've been knocked out. For example, if the last opponent is an archer and he's about to be charged by your 2 healthy teammates with couched lances all he has to do is to bring you down with a headshot to score an instant victory. It doesn't seem right, especially when it costs you 200 denars.

uhm - the <tab> key works to get you out (the retreat-key).
