I know a lot of players don't stick to a monotone cultural getup when they play, but a lot of players probably do what I do; try to stick to culturally appropriate armours and weapons for the culture I am playing. I take this mentality with me to smithing as well, where I try to smith and use weapons that suit my characters culture appropriately. But I have some exceptions; I often use animal pelts for shoulder armour when playing as a Vlandian or Imperial. If I play as a Sturgian I may use some Khuzait armour. And if I play as a mercenary or Lord for a different cultural faction than my character is from, I may use a mix of regional armours and use my own culture for a weapon. Example; I played a Nord corsair mercenary for the Empire. I used gilded scale Imperial armour with gilded scale shoulderguards, golden pirate gauntlets and boots, and a brass Aserai helmet with a Nord one handed sword with gilded pummel and handguard. Anyone else give themselves similar cultural restrict...
Motivational: "When we first made M&B, we sent our demos to big game publishers, no one replied back!"
I -for obvious and desperate reasons- was browsing M&B videos on youtube and stumbled upon this interview of Armagan Yavuz where he was talking about how they started M&B first. I quote him below -sorry for my terrible translation skills-
When we were first developing the game, our plans were to develop it to some degree, make a demo and send it to main publishers to attract some attention from them. So we made the demo, burn it into cds and sent to publishers with FedEx! But we never heard anything from any of them!
He also tells in another obscure video(around 9:30) I found that their initial goal was to sell around 100-200 copies! But then people liked the game and basically, the game grew by word of mouth on the internet forums.
Anyway, I thought this could be a nice motivation for other indie game developers out there who could be in the line for another M&B like success story.
