really interesting, to me anyway lol, especially the 50-200K sales to make a profit. Pity about the backing track tho...

Hopefully paradox connect won't suck.

It's not a surprise.  That's what is great when you don't go all crazy with the graphics.

this guy is great and optimic and doesn't mind talking about other games and telling why they are doing better than his own. Which is an great mindset because you are agreeing that yes: my games aren't as good as those games but i see that this is the reason so lets make our games improve to reach that level of quality. 

I like how he mentioned Oblivion when speaking of good graphics.

well it is a good looking game with RPG elements played in ether the first/3rd person (lol) with horses and fighting in a medieval setting what other game could he use?

I don't know. None? You just made me realize how few WRPGs there actually are.

lol I just wanted to bump my thread, Oblivion is probably the most successful fantasy RPG with good graphics, but that was the one point I didn't really agree with him on...

still I guess he could have used Two worlds 2 or that new Gothic game or that Risen game lol, still none of those really look much better than Oblivion on PC and didn't sell nearly as much

P.S. I guess this means that Mount & blade 2 will have oblivion like graphics... Which means I probably won't be able to put army size into the thousands when I get my new PC... Bummer

"I just wanted to bump my thread" lol

I kinda agree with him too. Oblivion doesn't look clearly better than M&B. M&B in some ways has better graphics than Oblivion, and in some ways worse. So he dissed his own game lol.

About the thousands in M&B battles. How big battle size do you currently have in M&B?

about 150 the standard max usually as that slows my comp down enough but there are mods that let you push it as high as a 1000 if your PC can take it, but it need insane CPU to do lol which is the weakest part of my current build... I want to do it more for seeing what it's like than actually playing it TBH I think it would look cool to see a sea of soldiers especially on siege maps coming up one funnel, but practically battles would just take too long and make your character pretty insignificant. Oh and from what I have seen the pathing kinda goes to shit when I tried to push the battle size up in the past.

the funny thing with mount & blade vs Oblivion in graphics is Oblivion has beautiful vistas with seas of grass and trees with no more than a dozen NPCs where as M&B has relatively sparse landscapes with hundreds of NPCs on screen at once.
