Character Creation
The character creation element looks vastly improved upon by all accounts. In the previous Mount & Blade games, players chose from a selection of truly horrendous faces and hairstyles and there was some (but not much) flexibility in making your character look unique. However, in Bannerlord, there are a multitude of customization sliders, offering much freedom in creating a character.
One of the new features is facial animation, meaning characters will now be able to react and show emotion rather than being the static, uncaring, fish-eyed monsters of old. The video showed examples of how in-depth you can get with your characters by parading their attempts at making famous faces. Most were guessable (Putin and Einstein were pretty spot-on) although there were a few were less obvious. Still, it is a long way from the less than gorgeous characters of old Mount & Blade.
