I just hope they finish in time.
There is a very solid chance that Bannerlord will hit the market before Light and Darkness 2 is released.
Speaking of Light and Darkness 2 and Bannerlord comparisons, I've noticed quite a few similarities between Bannerlord and L&D2 - especially in the sieges. I've seen videos of sieges from both, and they look very similar - right down to being able to ride a horse in the siege, being able to place your own siege weapons, make the siege weapon target certain parts of the wall, etc etc.
Quite exciting stuff, and I hope to see it one day.
