Regarding the Influence "currency". You guys and girls afraid of that as well?

First of all, let it be clear that I absolutely love M&B and I mean nothing but constructive criticism and debate with this post.

So I've just finished watching what I believe are all of Bannerlord's videos released so far, and in one of them a "currency" called Influence was mentioned and very briefly explained. It's supposed to work in addition to relation and you'll use it to convince people to help you in different ways.

Now, my worry is this: doesn't that seem a bit too simplified? I've never been a fan of praising fun over realism but I usually understand whatever choices must be made and let go. But in this case... I don't know. They're going to funnel down your capability of influence over people, something so subjective and based on humanity, emotions and what not, to a currency?? It sounds like too much of an easy way out, trying to bog down something too complex into bought service, essentially.

Once again I mean no disrespect to anyone involved. But this is really bugging me and I wanted to know what the community thought of it as well.
