Any influence from Mount & Blade?

Greetings,

I'm quite excited about the new game. Still evaluating it and deciding whether I want to throw my support in, but very happy toward the announcements.

Count me as a supporter for the dual scale. I think it's a brilliant move. Anyone criticizing the immersion factor should try playing Mount & Blade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_%26_Blade). That game uses dual scale as far as travel goes, and it works very well. I guess I'm wondering if the devs have played that game, because it's a wonderful sandbox rpg, even with some rts qualities to it.

Thanks to the devs and LB for starting all this up!

 

I played it, it's still not so immersive as openworld / monoscale but for a "battle game" it's ok. For RPG imo, not quite. But with some tweaks to dualscale mentioned by Chris from Portalarium like every hex exploration etc. it should not be so painful to play SotA on 2scale.
