[poomtang]

Well really, as if you guys didn't already know this!

New in game character

Early alfa world map with icon character, looks like they'll be sticking to the medieval period

 

[Legolan]

Cant wait to see(or make) a PW mod for it!

 

[timmybus]

is there any sort of estimated release date? 2012? really looking forward to it

There is none, and there probably won't be a release date for quite some time.

I don't want an M&B two. I want a community support patch and full Python integration

i wouldn't mind an M&B 2 so long as it has better modability than Warband.

 

[Hypno Toad]

Neat that they have body morphing options so you can make a fat guy/buff guy, etc. Hope they make the world map a bit nicer though, can still set dos' giant polygons.

 

[General Awesome]

Meh... as long as it retains Warband's subpar graphics and extreme modability, unlike other games, I'll be happy...

Always nice to see people appreciate the true real needs of a game. People can go on and on about graphics, which I might have given a **** about when it was 2D, but that was the only **** i gave, and at this point i reserve all my ****s for modability. It's, in my opinion, what truely made Mount and Blade. Native is great, but even small mods like 'Native Armory expansion', which added balance to weapons and some extra ones, makes a huge difference. I guess that's why Taleworlds leaves the heavy lifting, like balance, items, factions, and graphics, for the modders.

 

[chilinomore]

most of the things you were asking had been released as mods..
i hope they can at least add the most popular mods to their m&b2 and since the mods are such an important part of m&b series they could also improve their mod support.
the only thing i would like to see was an europe map with several european countries..

 

[Gambino]

[Ruler of Calradia]

Never seen Alpha before?

 

[Keryyn]

Anyways, if M&B 2 is coming there will be more official info later, just be patient guys.

 

[Thirsty boy]

I hope there will be a mount and blade 2 with more gore.
