For the longest time I had only heard about Mount and Blade from friends who were obsessed by it. I gave it a try a long while back and fell in love. For the first time in over a year and a half, I've felt inclined to stay up to 4 in the morning to play a game. Warband is a lot of fun and although I have run into more than one occasion where I get really pissed, I keep coming back.
Basically what I'm saying is that the game is great and I wish Taleworlds the best.
