8) What are the weapons like? 

 
Time to try out some new toys.

Like we previously reported, all of the armor and weaponry that will be at your disposal in Bannerlord is inspired from medieval European weaponry from 600-1200AD. 

Not to mention, we can assume that each faction's weaponry will be inspired by the real-life culture it takes inspiration from, just like in previous Mount and Blade games. History buffs are sure to love this franchise.

The nomadic Khuzaits, for example, like the Khergits in previous games, are obviously inspired from the wandering Mongol hordes in real history. We can assume that their weaponry and armor will be derived from the Mongols, with light but effective armor and bows meant for use on horseback.

The Mount and Blade series has always tried its hardest to blend historical inspirations with new ideas and fun, action-packed gameplay. Weaponry in Bannerlord will be realistic, but easy and fun to use. 

Blocking, countering, and attacking is going to be quicker and more responsive thanks to the game's ultra-modernized engine. We can also expect a much larger amount of weapons and armor in the game, considering how much Bannerlord has expanded the game world in every other facet.
