How to improve ingame immersion from Warband to Bannerlord

So I spent a night thinking about some improvements that IMO will improve immersion alot and help us butter ourselves when the game comes out. Of course, Taleworlds are free to do anything they want, but I want them to seriously consider these. I'll be listing them in order from least important to most important.

4: Realistic wives

Why is it that when I worked so hard remembering poems, raiding feifs, and have half the kingdom hate me, only to marry and realize I can't even kiss my waifu? This isin't important but it would be nice to actually interact with my wife past just using her as an ingame keyboard to set up feasts.

*3: Shields actually break and wear down realistically *

In Warband if you were to break a shield, it would simply just fall on the ground, almost as if the strap fell down. Taleworlds could improve this would a simply fix like having the shield break in half or somethign similar. It would be awesome watching the shield wear down, like peices falling off, paint chipping, and then eventually break into a split board.

2: Companions have their own AI and decision making

Companions are not suppose to be normal soldiers. They are close friends that I trust to be able to make their own decisions on whats beneficial for the party. Dor example, if I were to employ Saberia the Battanian archer as a companion, I would expect her to not wait around for orders and actually take up a high spot by herself to snipe enemies.

And lastly,

1: Voice Acting

This I feel is the most important and I don't understand why Taleworlds won't implement this. I know that the player can yell orders now, but I want everyone to talk. It feels weird when I go to a town, and when Im talking to bandits ready to start fights, I can still hear crickets. Not fun at all and takes me out of the immersion.

What do you fellow butterlords think?
