I think the concept of characters being hidden, while interesting in theory, is terrible in reality in a game with so many of them. Especially as you do not have any way to meet them as a group - you have to literally chase them on the map.
I am pretty sure the one who designed this haven't counted how many real and in game time would it take to just meet half of the lords.
This create massive problems as even if you join faction (so you can meet lords in settlements) it would take a long time to meet them all. But you will not meet other lords, unless you fight them.
Sometimes lords offer you marriage. How am I supposed to decide if I can't see potential spouse stats? Or stats of their clan?
How am I supposed to find spouses for my characters and potential clans to recruit?
This may, in theory, work for wanderers, but for lords FoW makes the games massively worse.
I hope this will be reverted completely or at least make it a toggle in options that make it possible to play with full info on characters. The game is already grindy like a free to play online game, there is no reason to make it even more grindy.
