Second question: [/b]What role will marriage play in the game?
Sorry for being such a complete pretentious nerd though... but I can't help myself

also is a gay marriage allowed?

The questions I have are still the same : is the fighting going to be axed on realism like on games such as Insurgency for example, where a single bullet can be lethal, or are you going to keep, as Byrdi said, a gameplay>realism aspect ?

How characters will be handled ? Will we have serfs and peasants knowing how to fight with polearms for example ? By this, I'm asking if the character will specialize in combat AND some other things, like hunting or any kind of craftmanship; or will have to choose between combat and economic specialization.

[Ikarus]

will there be a duel server or places similar to them? like, people can watch or join, but not disturb fights?

this whole thing is going to be bigger than I´ve imagined 

but good thinking by resetting the "strategus"-mode from time to time

What about Oculus Rift/VR headsets and things like Virtuix Omni? Is it still something you would be interested in implementing to the game in the future?

[Hirlok]

also, I would like to see the integration of the SensiStink, virtual olfactory simulator, so I can make proper use of my Hermit stench in battle and bed...

Melee is the use of non - ranged weapons.
Yet the game still features ranged weapons.

In tournaments it was... I thought the title is supposed to reflect the atmosphere of close-ranged battles in medieval times which is fine, I think.

The best games don't try to appeal to everyone.  You try to appeal to "everyone" (or as many people as possible) and you end up with a watered down game, that caters to the lowest common denominators.  Better to focus on the type of game you want to make, and make it as top notch as possible for that niche.   

It obviously wasn't "why don't you make a game for everyone", it was "what makes this a game that isn't for everyone?"
