should more graphical effects be added to the game?

There´s no doubt that fixing bugs and improving AI is a must BUT apart from that, are we looking for a bit more of realism in this game? Someone told me that ppl are more for the playability and fun rather than graphical effects BUT cant we have both?
What do i mean by more graphical effects? Well the main feature at that time was brutality so why cant we see some of those BUT ONLY once in awhile otherwise the overuse of it would become like the game, boring.
Why no see during a battle a head or a limb cut off? why not see holes on the ground or burning trees from missed cannon shots? and other things like that just to beef up the game.
The implementation of those things would be a modding or an actual progamming?
what do u guys think?

Its a strategy game it isn't much about graphics , plus if it had that sort of effects it would be impossible for many of us to run the game properly because of the system requirements.

Burning forests and grass would be nice, also because it happens to be an actual battle tactic. Personally I wouldn't count on dismemberment ever being included in a TW game since it is the sort of thing that might push it into a more restricted classification.

You will see better GFX in the TWs of the future. That's a guarantee, they're not going to go backwards, GFX has become a major selling point for this series.

And sadly so.

Being able to burn down forests would be awesome since you can turn those pesky jungles in the Americas into grassland

One can successfully argue that this GFX depth has come at the expense of game detail. It takes a lot of time to do all those GFX.

As always I'd like to see both.

I want to see cinematic battles, play my game on a large screen, like an interactive movie. I don't want it to be some shallow chick flick (sorry girls ;P), I want a deep, meaningful, accurate, realistic and entertaining game.

The key word is depth.

M2:TW has depth but it's unfinished, you must mod the game to really see it's potential.

It is possible to market to both markets.
