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.

Yeah but it would be realistic! I would love to have battles with 1000 men in it (my PC probably cannot handle much more than the vanilla 150 limit).

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

 

What a great interview indeed,  I love some of the games those guys publish.  For those who haven’t tried it, Mount and Blade: Warband is freaking awesome, and Sword of the Stars was a great game as well, so I’m really looking forward to the sequel.  Does anybody if Magicka is any good?  It looks like a cool port to XBLA or the  PSN equivalent.

That battle is only 200 soldiers, which vanilla warband allows in custom battles.My PC can handle the 150 npc battles at 30-25 fps. At 200 soldiers it dips to 8 fps like in the video. A playable 200 or more battle I would like to see.
