GB Feature: Sacred 2: Fallen Angel Interview

To get a better idea of what to expect from Ascaron Entertainment's Sacred sequel next year, we fired off a set of questions to creative director Hans-Arno Wegner.
Q: Can you give us a few examples of the new mounts you've added in the sequel? Aside from allowing us to travel faster, will the new mounts possess special abilities that the player can make use of or might we be able to equip them with armor or other items?

A: For starters, we still will have the horses for all characters. But now, we have two types: an ordinary horse and a battle horse. Every character does have a unique mount that fits his character and fighting style. For example, the Shadow Warrior has a Cerberus to ride on that fits his strength. All mounts can be equipped with items, such as equipping horses with armour. Moving and fighting while mounted will offer a different playing experience. The character will be able to travel faster on a mount, but also will have boosted attributes while riding, and some combat arts will be performed directly by the mount.
