If you have been following these weekly updates for some time now, you will know that our aim for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord isn’t just to provide players with bigger, more epic battles, but also to refine existing mechanics from the series and add small details to the game to make it feel more believable and immersive. In this week’s blog, we want to show you another example of how we try to pay close attention to small details by introducing you to a feature which probably won’t catch your eye immediately while playing, but is something which we feel adds to the overall visual fidelity of the game.

Did I just enjoyed this blog?
Nice one, good detail

Hopefully it's nothing, but his face looks very rectangular as if poking out of a slot. Helmets that hid hair in Warband had more natural/circular openings.
I think it is shadow that frames his face, cast by the helmet and hood. You can see some shadow on his brow, and then darker shadow around the sides of his jaw and beneath the chin.
By the way, what kind of sword is he carrying on his back in the gif, If the sword is not totally fictional.M.ArdA said:Scenes from the blog:
The guard of it and it being that thin looks good.

I hope you're right, but it still looks odd when magnified.
duudes I dont wanna be an egocentric prick because of course anyone in TW could suggest that feature on the game, but I made a post about it on the forums and I'm almost crying now. Of course they tought the idea a lot better in therms of multiplayer gameplay, but I'm feeling like god heard me. 
The two-handed sword in the gif is basically fictional. It's hard to make out the details from the gif, but it looks kinda like they made a longsword version of a migration period sword.bjorntheconquerer said:
That isn't a problem IMO. It still looks plausible and while longer quillons and a more suitable pommel design would be useful it still would be pretty functional.
If they were trying to be historically accurate with this whole thing, then the timeframe is before the advent of longswords (in the two-handed sense) anyway. Not including them would be kinda lame.
I hope that some swords will be drawn from the right hip, Celt/Roman style:

Also I'd prefer it if the back-scabbard would be reserved only for the most massive swords. By adjusting the way the sword hangs you can go to some extreme lengths, no pun intended. Also it looks badass.

Sorry I have to be that guy but what honestly happened? Didn't we at some point get told a 2016 release was planned? Now I understand that there can be delays but 2 years and we still know nothing...
And honestly I don't mind the delay at this point, it's done when it's done I get it
But i'm just curios as to what happened and why the delay has been so vast. Like did you decide to add some new features or?

This is awesome news! This issue always bugged me in warband as well as many other games.
I spent many an hour searching for skyrim mods to accomplish this very task.
Great work Taleworlds, good blog as well.
These small community updates are great!

,,Oh, and before anyone comments on the two-handed sword being carried on the back, we are fully aware that this isn’t entirely historically accurate, but we think it looks cool nevertheless!"
I'm devastated... At least something to shut the mouths of irritating I-want-100%-realistic-BL-even-in-the-terms-of-haircut people.
And question: what if I want to carry 4 shields (I know it's stupid, but people could want to know ,,what if I make something like this...?"), or 4 big polearms such as halberd/lance? Will it be displayed on our character?

Not really an interesting Dev blog to be fully honest. These little things are important and make the big picture better, but honestly we need something that has a bigger impact.
