Unprecedented number of button prompts. GOTY candidate.
Game looks really, really good though. Hopefully the combat is deep enough to remain interesting.

Which conundrum is that? Personally the first person sword combat conundrum is more pressing.

Is that really a conundrum?
Yup, I made a post about it earlier in this thread.
So a less interesting Elder Scrolls.
But probably better combat than Elder Scrolls!
Hm.
If they bother tuning the RPG elements it'll be a far better game than the last 2 Elder Scrolls. Searching a cave or whatever it is and actually finding something useful and impressive would give a game a huge advantage over Skyrim.

Junior, please.
Mount & Blade + Chivalry + A story = sign me up.
p.s. guys, the above games are what you need to be studying for your combat system!

Agree here.
King's Field... Especially IV. Bad combat but what a fucking rpg... Let's hope they don't lose focus here.

pls tell me there is third person option like in Chivalry and Mount and Blade.
AND A GOOD CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION for online. I wanna create my fat bard with a broom sword.

Is there any indication this will have online? It's an RPG.

I'd be all over this if it were third person. First-person melee is ewww. 
New screenshot.
I like it.
This and the other screens and gifs also show how much better CryEngine comes off when used with naturalistic lighting rather than hideous abomination lighting of Crysis 2 and 3.

While accurate, the problem with that is that it's fencing, a sport, not fighting in the sense that only one of us is going to live. In a 1v1 while armored and armed with only a long sword there is a ton more grappling involved.
As it should be. Those are very important.

I think a 2014 release for Bannerlord is pretty likely.
It's true that there would be a lot more grappling. In modern fencing grappling doesn't make much sense since you always stop whenever somebody gets a hit in which obviously wouldn't be the case in real combat. However, the moves they are showing off are based on real combat techniques from the era, at the time it was not intended merely for sport and the manuals also contains several grappling techniques.
In that it hasn't yet been done well, it is to me. That is just my opinion though, I know a lot of people like the various fist person implementations.

What's the combat like in M&B? Is it first-person?

"People actually bought this game to dick around so how do I stay motivated long enough to make a quality main quest?"
Changes in his design for Mafia 2 and conflicts within studio was the reason he left 2K Czech and founded Warhorse. He was main designer and scriptwriter of the game, but after they cuted and changed his work too much he left.

Wait, you never played Mount&Blade?
What the hell are you waiting for?
Warband is on sale on Steam right now, 80% off. Go, go, GO!
It's third person with an option to go first, by the way.

I encourage you to try out Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and see if your opinion remains unchanged. It has its issues, but I think it's a very solid example of quality first-person melee combat.
It's primarily third-person with the option to switch to first. You can attack and block in four directions. The mounted combat is very satisfying.

My preferred time of RPG combat is Demon's/Dark Souls, and Dragon's Dogma. Will I enjoy this?
Edit: hmm, missed that Flash sale. Oops...

Who knows, entirely different beasts. The focus in M&B is all on mounted combat (with mounted archery being particularly satisfying).
In my experience there is only one kind of person who can't enjoy the combat in M&B, and that's the kind of person you shouldn't take any advice from.
EDIT - Here's a LTTP thread about it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=567101

And it's on sale. Will do, cheers
Chivalry also has a 3rd-person view. Press L.

I should warn you, Chivalry is essentially a multiplayer-only game and its community isn't exactly the most welcoming. Fighting against the more experienced players may seem like an exercise in futility at first. If you don't want to risk your money, the game is pretty regularly featured in free weekends on Steam.
Those of you who missed out of the Mount&Blade sale, you can play a free trial of the games from the TaleWorlds website before committing to a purchase.
Cheers for this, I ended up waiting. I'll try it eventually.

True, but the combat in that video is also pretty lame looking. Video games are all about style and looking cool; you want to be doing spinning attacks with your broadsword and huge double-handed swings to knock their defence away, not slapping at them like as though twelve year olds fighting with open hands.
I'm really getting The Crossing vibes from this, which was Arkane's game before they started working with Bethesda on Dishonored.
Yeah, it's a pretty horrible name all in all. But, if they had to keep it, at least drop the subtitle 'Deliverance'. As someone else pointed out; it's too synonymous with the film of the same name which is not something you want your game to have association with.
This post is weeks old, but "medieval" is not interchangeable with "fantasy."
You guys should read their blog, i think the reveal next Tuesday is going to be their publisher.
I'm really excited for this game as i am from the general area where the developer is from and i am really interested in the history of Bohemia and the general area (assuming that is what they are going for).
Cant wait for more information.

I'm gonna guess Deep Silver aka Koch Media will be their publisher. Or Take Two.
I wonder who the Japanese publisher was that they were talking about.
First real info from CZ magazine
-> no publisher found - kickstarter (500 000,-) - if they hit it rest of the devlopment pays investor(czech millionare), if not development ends
-> thx to no publisher - game will be cut to 3 episodes with 30h of gameplay each
-> main character is young blacksmith
-> equip will be realistic - layers of clothes+armor inc. underpants
-> every hit will be calculated in real time, so if you hit someone with the sword on helmet first will be evaluated damage to the helmet, further will be calulated transfer of force to the head of the enemy and other possible injuries and at the same moment will be also calculated the trajectory of the sword that slides from the on the shoulder and collarbone ...
- more info on KS with new trailer at evening
