The fact sheet says that there's a main storyline and quests can have multiple endings!

The weapon crafting with a "balance modifier" instead of purely balanced or unbalanced looks cool. Different speed for thrusting and cutting, nice details. The cities and taverns looks really good, so does the siege equipment. Music's decent too. Body slider, thumbs up.

That board game taking like 1 minute of the trailer, wtf. Voice acting is atrocious, hope it's just placeholders. The fighting seems... average? I don't know, a bit too little to judge from unforunately. Too much board games, too little fighting.

Combat looked basically the same as WB.

Which is what they're most likely aiming for since it's the only reason Warband is huge. This is positive.

Without its moddability Warband (and Mount&Blade) would be nothing, so it's definitely not the only reason.

The competitive multiplayer part of warband is what would make it big, not cRPG or any mods for that part.

Yeah, what I thought exactly. That shit is still there. I have a feeling that most of the shit we have all grown tired of will still be there as well.

In one of the screenies I also see the warband terrible polearm right swing readying.

I think we'll all agree it's the insane replayability of warband which made it so successful, striking similarity with games such as dota and counter-strike. My point being is that if bannerlord want to become a big game, what'll make it huge is most likely the competition.

I can't tell if you're trolling or what..

Modding and sandbox are cool, but combat is what makes Mount and blade unique.

This sums it up, I wouldn't have given any time to the game without the combat mechanics of M&B, being huge moddable or not. In a weird example, the same reason I simply can't stand playing CS (never did, and Quake gave me all the reasons to do it).
