0:35 - Car customization
4:03 - Melee combat
4:50 - AC style eagle's eye/Far cry style tower climb/State of decay style surveying
6:00 - World map
9:50 - Car Combat

That's all gameplay wise

It's like, the most boring hacker encounter? If they are surprised by this, those people were living in a cave.

Got any more crazy hacker encounters? Doesn't have to be GTA.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord / Re: Taleworlds + Gamescom = 3 Videos

Companions
The interviewer said they have about 60 of them.

60 companions is a lot... Let's hope they all won't leave if you can butter them up with 10 leadership skill.

Board Games
Apparently there isn't just a single one. Each culture has a game of its own and there are 6 cultures. The taverns will have the games running based on the culture.

6 different board games... would be nice if they would work online.

Combat System
The interview comments on the combat system being a bit easier to learn but harder to master than Warband. Armağan continues to say that they added some subtle stuff but didn't want to change it up too much. Gives more importance to legwork and timing and even talks about some attacks being faster if they're carrying the momentum of a previous swing.

Momentum of previous swing affects the next swing, that's going to be interesting. Paired up with hitting multiple foes with 1 strike, you could make some sick combos.

Taleworlds founder Armağan Yavuz is aware that Mount & Blade: Warband was—his words—rough around the edges. "One problem was that Warband was a very big and complicated game," Yavuz says. "That complexity was welcome for a lot of players, but it was also sometimes inaccessible. We had people with 200 hours in the game who didn't know an obvious feature."
I asked exactly how Taleworlds were dealing with that in Bannerlords.
"I think our basic solution will be the main storyline," Yavuz says. "We want to preserve the sandbox feeling of the game, at the same time making it more accessible. The best way to do that, I think, is to make a storyline so that the player, when they start, has various goals, has a quest and knows what to do and how to proceed. Once they have proceeded a little bit, and know how to play the game, then the storyline should take a backstep and just give the player general goals and options."
The main story is designed to guide the player through an opening set of goals, giving them a narrative and quest designed to offer an easier path into the game's sandbox systems.
"I think it's going to diverge a little bit," Yavuz says of the story's ultimate role. "We will give the player the option of playing in any style they want to play, and then, according to the style, the way the story proceeds is going to change."

The open-world game setting seems ideal, though this is pre-made gameplay so who knows.

Anyone with sense trying to promote Bannerlord would be wise to pretend Viking Conquest never happened.

Have you played Reforged edition? It's very stable right now.

They did some nice changes to flight mechanics with last PTU patch, hopefully they keep going in that direction.

What kind of direction do you mean exactly?

— Dark Souls 3 shares the same “worldview” as the first two games. The demo featured two dead dragons and one live one. Someone asked if the presence of so many dragons implied that this was a prequel to Dark Souls, and Miyazaki wouldn’t directly confirm it, but his answer seemed to suggest a yes.

It'd be interesting how a prequel would play out with the lore.

Looks cool, but I wonder how it will play without skills, if this is true.

This board seems to be more mature than the general discussion, on average.
