I think we should be more concerned on how they can fuck up such a good melee system as Mount & Blades (1). I'm almost sure that they'll be "improving" it, one way or another and you all damn well know that any of these "improvements" can backfire aka ruin the game.
Vibe, played the first M&B?
Remember how retarded the animations, attack patterns felt like?
Compare that to Warband's, it is a clear improvement, for the better.
I hope they'll polish it even more, in M&B 2.
But then again, that might just be my own wishful thinking that they don't dumb it down for consoles.
Nah, clearly console players are not the audience for this, they await the callofdutyithasn'tbeendoneyet /etc clone games every year.
