Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Blog Updates and Editorial

It's been quite some time since we last checked in on the status of TaleWorlds' Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, so I thought I'd point you over to the official blog for a handful of new updates that span everything from an "Engine Power" video to details on the overworld map. But beyond the official content is this list of six reasons why the editors at Gaming Respawn are very much looking forward to the sequel:

Bartering and better NPC Interaction

One of the new features that Bannerlord will bring is bartering. Bartering will be able to be done for a variety of different reasons, with trade being one of the main ones, however players will also be able to barter with enemies and other factions in order to secure peace treaties or release a prisoner, for example. The content of what you will be able to barter changes depending on who you are speaking to and the context of the situation, with Kings, Vassals and Traders all having different options to choose from.

Bartering is just one of many new features and revamps done with regards to how the player can interact with NPCs who play a huge role in the game.The AI will also barter amongst themselves making for a realistic and dynamic game world.
