In my most recent game I'm at a stage where it's just me on a horse and a few low level foot infantry. I tend to leave a few infantry behind whilst I run ahead on my own (that way if I'm taken down there's plenty of troops left standing so I get another shot at it ). I love charging in with a lance on horseback and taking out as many of the enemy cavalry as I can with a one-man shock charge, after which I start circling infantry (beginning with archers) and hacking them down with a one-handed sword.

Good fun.

Bought M&B a year or two back when it was in earlier Alpha stages. Redownloaded it just yesterday and I must say I'm impressed with how it's coming along. Good show. Glad you eventually saw the light about allowing quitting without saving, too, although I don't use it

developers knows best what they want the game to be. When you play a game, you're playing to beat or outwit what the developers created, and that's what is fun in a game. Mods usually, in the vast majority, either change the game altogether for something completely different or unbalance the game in a way or another. That's why I don't like them, and why I don't play them.

What? No. Mods do one of two things.

1) They use the basis of a good game to create a fresh experience, enchancing the longevity of the game. This can either use gameplay basics to give you extra content/variety or merely use the game's engine to allow them to realise their ideas without having to build their own (top-down Unreal-based strategies, for example). They're not designed to change what the developer created, they're just adding content.

2) When mods DO alter the fundamentals of the game, what's to say it isn't a good thing? Often mods will enhance the gameplay experience either aesthetically or technically. A lot of the time, these are improvements. When mods DO alter the balance of a game, a lot of the time it's for the better. Just because it's not what the developer created doesn't mean it's not BETTER than what the developer created. I guess you just have to decide whether you want to play the game the way the developer intended it, or a better way. But to be honest I can't see any reason you'd factor in the former unless you feel some kind of irrational guilt that you're undermining their hard work, which really isn't relevant. Especially when more often than not it's the developers who have released the modding tools in the first place.

Ah, Morrowind...

I miss my Argonian.

Stupid reformat

I lost my horse on my first fight....

I lost my warhorse just after I bought it, and before I could even use it.

I was left with nothing and started again.

I couched a pitchfork with a new character, but it was utterly useless. I found that throwing small pieces of blu-tack at my opponents was a more effective means of attack.

Racist.

So buff the opponents to suit the armour, or weaken the armour to suit the opponents.

Also, have party members mention if they can't use items you give them. I had to pay 900 gold to buy an axe back of some bloke because he couldn't use it. The fact that he charged me for taking it back after he didn't want it is bloody cheeky anyway ¬_¬

You can get on any horse anywhere as long as it dosent run off after you kill the rider.

I've done it several times in the arena myself

As far as I can tell, you have to be the one to kill the rider.

On the subject of saving - I just abandoned my character and started from scratch because I lost my horse and all my money, that char is no longer any fun to play. If the autosave hadn't replaced my savegame then I could have happily loaded to before the incident and continued.

'twould be wise to make a save function available, and have the autosave write to a different file.

ps. Where's the Lord of Zendar? I can't find him anywhere.

Yes, I have checked Zendar.

Will there be an update for the current version which will allow me to use a mirror I already own? I don't want to have to shell out another 6 quid...

4) Character Creation:
Beautiful system! however, it could definitely use a " - " button as well as a " + " one, in case you accidentally click something or regret your choice.. although this is just nitpicking and not that important.

Actually, this is incredibly important and is one of the most (if not the most) important point you make. It's very important to be able to undo recent changes to character creation, which can be made permanent once you accept your alterations at the end. There should also be a way of changing what selection you make at the start of character creation, as they do not fully indicate exactly what changes the choice will make (perhaps even an option to bypass these templates and assign all of the points yourself?)

Also, I note that there's no "Back" button for returning to the menu on the character creation screen. This, in conjunction with the lack of a "-" button means you have to Alt+F4 out of the game if you change your mind about something. Not good.

But what if I want my character to be left-handed ¬_¬

</awkward git>

Ah, didn't realise you could aim off the side at all.

It's the left hand side you can aim off, I assume?
