Does it really matter when the update comes ? They won't add anything new or significant to the flavor of the game, it's the same when it released in EA and it will be the same with the next patch. And you know what i mean, the lack of depth in diplomacy, court intrigue, random event, boring city management(you cant govern your own cities and castles wtf).
The only thing worth playing in the game are the battles and they ARE fun, combined with the lackluster character development it actually goes pretty well, but that can't carry the game alone, i mean look at the player base on steam, true there are thousands playing it but it drops in the statistics.
