I will make it more like a Q&A
Here the things you need to know;

Q1:What was the first thing that caught your interest when u started playing Bannerlord?
A1:Enviroment is so "full" . We opened multiplayer map and for example untill now the battles I have done in Warband were only in one height. (Arena,Ruins,Village by River. They are all almost plain flat maps) Of course you can climb buildings and stuff , but in that map of Bannerlord there was a hill , behind that hill there is a farm , Farm has 2 houses , There are moss on the walls of the houses , there are flowers and stuff. You really get into the enviroment when you step into the game.

Q2: Can you tell us more about the map?
A2: They had a tester named Meriç NEŞELİ , his days are passing by testing the game . They put me on 1v1 with him but I told him to stop and we travelled the map .First, for example do you remember Witcher III had a trailer where there were butterflies flying , kids playing , Enviroment was full of stuff but they could not manage to get that feeling in the actual game. However I kind of felt it in the Bannerlord and it was just a multiplayer map.There was a dungeon below the map and like that there are other levels of the map.You have to be aware of the enviroment when playing the game.

Q3: Can you tell us about the animations?
A3: Animation times are little bit more extended now.Unlike the old one where you just simply swing swords , block , chamber. Now in Bannerlord it is alot more realistic . You get the feeling of swinging a sword and fighting.

Q4: Are there any other interesting things you can tell us about?
A4: Yes I can tell you a bit more about the Motion Capture Studio. There were tons of cameras in the studio and you feel a little bit lonely in the studio :D . They gave me a sword , There were little balls on the sword when you were to swing it all the cameras were capturing you and the animation were showing in the computers.All the animations in the game are being captured in the studio.

Q5: Can you tell us about singleplayer?
A5: The map first looked similiar to me and I asked them about the old map . They showed me a little partion of the map as the old one. New map is 4 times bigger than the old one. Other lords can go and have followers just like you. Since there are seasons the map is alot more realistic now . There arent just snow part, desert part and stuff.
You can have your children when you hit a certain age you will be playing as your child.Same for the lords . Lords will have children they will change places with cheir children if they die or get to a certain age.

Q6: How many people were working on the game?
A6: There were about 70 people.

This is all I can translate for now guys :) When the journal comes there will be more :wink:

Here some screenshots from the video that I found in tw forums.

Map is 4 times as big and you can play as your children? Interesting...

Also, I wonder how companions following other lords will work out.

Page 38
A smooth breeze hitting on my face. Swinging of tree branches and leafs are hypnotizing me. But I need to focus, because my opponent is waiting for me at the edge, near the hut. I’m at the top of a ruined tower on one hand I’m over watching site which ends at underground dungeons. This battlefield is already filled with traps that cannot be overseen. A single step can let you fall and die. Again, I’m looking toward to my opponent. He is walking to me with cautious steps. His plate armor shining and blocking my vision in a way. A worn shield on my back, my sword which tied to my belt on my right side and my bow on my left side. By trusting my skills, I’m sending an arrow to my opponents feets. He is halting for a second. Then I’m shooting another arrow but this time arrow hits an rock and bounce. Then I realize that this is quite useless. You can’t win a fight without clashing your sword. I’m putting my bow to its place and taking my shield and sword on my hands. While my opponent taking a strong position on the ruined tower side I’m slowly moving down from the hill. When my feet hit the ground , I slowly drawing my sword. We are looking to each others for a moment and I realize that my opponent is actually a woman. It is clear from her body that she trained for fights like this but Im not able to catch all details from her armor. And then she starts to attack me .. And here the first multiplayer battle of Mount&Blade Bannerlord begins like this.
Page 40
*Article about being a women in this sector
*Nothing new
Page 41
*Article about why it is good to have your own game engine.
They are talking about bigger better map, better graphics, faster gameplay and a solid game. He is telling that how Frank try to estimate new map’s size. Which is 4 times larger than Warband’s(Approximately). From reporters inference, we learn that they are taking date 300 years before from Warband because they want this game’s story much more stronger than Warband. Then he is talking about world map, rivers etc and he is saying that “and now in Bannerlord seasons will affect strategies. Winter will come from the North. And the castles in the strategy map are already made with textures for showing such differences.
Then we are asking will viewing distance reduce at rainy weathers? Will there be a fog in the map at certain times? After listening my questions Frank Elliot says “We are still discussing the effects of seasons“
Page 42
He is talking about how managing your lands can be profitable. Like you have a land at the edge of the your faction’s border. A border which shared with enemy. Therefore you can built a castle for protecting your land etc. You can train your own units. Armağan Yavuz talks about improved AI. Trading System and all that stuff. Which always calculates pros and cons. He says that “In a sandbox game which has no end. Only thing which keep players alive is AI’s different moves and challenges” As an example, in prisoner release AI first calculates It’s profit then it calculates enemies pros which will effect him negatively in the future.
Page 43
And now we will not be the only ones who think twice before attacking an faction. AI will do the same. And same thing applies for bandits which attacks you just by considering your man-power.
Then he talks about crafting system and negative-positive side effects which can be come with crafting your own weapon.
Armağan Yavuz says that “ From now on , AI will have its companions too. Player will not that much unique in Bannerlord.”
Informations about voice acting. There will be a 60 companion each has their own accents from different cultures and own voices.Beside the companions , we will hear the voices of NPC’s which lead the story of the game. He is then talking about the dialog system which we already seen in Gamescom. On the other hand , voice acting could be a little bit under the expectations , voice designler Uğurcan Orçun says that “There is too many possibility. Too many lords, to many dialogs. Giving all of them a voice is not possible”
Page 44
He is talking about 12 different board games. He also adds that all these boards game have similar examples in the real world history. He is also talks about much more “alive” cities. People who do his job, wanderers which sing at the taverns etc. And he states that Bannerlord team trys to make all cities different as possible. Berat Ceren Üstündağ is a programmer which mostly covers how both AI and player will live in the cities. Therefore he asks to him that and Berat Üstündağ answers “Rather than pre-programmed moves , Bannerlord’s NPC’s have their general behaviours. Therefore every time when you enter a city you will see a different action performed by AI” and he adds “We want you to feel like living that scene therefore we are working for this”
Page 45-46
When I first open the game, a soldier which holds a waving banner in his hand welcomes me. Then I click to Multiplayer and I see a two sectioned news feed board but at that point Franks holds me and says “This page can be changed.” Then he also adds that “We are also planning to make this board which will decorated with Patch notes , tournament announcements, eSport matches etc but these are not fixed so they might be change in the future.” Then he talks about character screen which we already seen in Gamescom. Then he says that you can climb top of the objects in the game or you can tackle and fall. He says that the gameplay is quite the same. Then he talks about motion capture and he adds “In Bannerlord, animations are much more realistic therefore their ending-startings are longer than Warband’s animations. So good Warband players might need to balance their time for Bannerlord.”
Page 48
About release date, they are saying “When Armağan Yavuz feels fine with game, we will release the Bannerlord” because there are still some unbalanced things in the game like siege weapons and some missing parts like which culture do your buildings will be in when you built something in a city etc. So Ali Erkin says that “It will be out when Its ready”. But they are feeling positive about the end of the 2016 as a release date. And when he was about the leave they mentioned about another problem they should fix too. They still haven’t decide that should lord’s kids continue to the adventure after lords die or not.

Also Here an interview with Armağan Yavuz.

Well you can't customize your build in Warband multiplayer...
I'm not sure about the weapon crafting part in multiplayer. I mean, it's way harder to balance the game when there is thousands of weapons possibilities

Armağan says it. Not me. I thought we were talking about costumization as in look and other stuff. Not stats. I doubt you will be able to make your own build.

It's more like a hyped-> too long wait-> forget about it completely -> some new info sparks interested again-circle. I'm sure I'll get hyped again more close to release of either Bannerlord or M:BG.

And besides core combat I think both games will be much more different from each other than you think. Of course it will be also interesting how both will tackle exactly that - the core combat mechanics. Right now I fear Taleworlds is hugely underestimating combat mechanics details - and that besides much improved motion-captured animations combat will not be improved much. Hope they proof me wrong. Whereas M:BG in therms of money and equipment is certainly at a disadvantage I expect them to implement neat little features that will make combat much more interesting. Early alpha already had nice ideas implemented, though it felt clunky and not nearly releasable.

It better be good after all those years. Will be heavily disappointed if they deliver slightly improved Warband as end result.
