Wam Knight
Sergeant
And it's still so addicting! I can't stop stressing the fact to my brother that I really want need to purchase the full game >.<
At around 6th grade, I was a 13-year-old kid who was just browsing a website full of downloads for free games. I got to the "M" list of games, the title "Mount&Blade 0.750" caught my attention. It was marked as a strategy/RPG, and an ingame screenshot the website had for the game was displaying knights riding on warhorses. This game looks cool, I thought. So I downloaded the game, and tried it out.
After going through the new game menus, Mount&Blade has begun working its magic on me. My character was plunged into the land of Calradia, which I wasn't familiar with. Immediately after the map loaded up, I noticed a town called Zendar close to my character, and of course by instinct, I moved my guy over there. Inside Zendar, I found that the controls completely changed, and I loved the fact that the combat of this game won't be turned base. After exploring for a while, I decided to have fun in the arena (The lance and archery were hard for me to use, btw). But, I only got into a few rounds before it was my older brother's turn to use the lappy (We shared one laptop back then). The first days of my Mount&Blade experience was about learning the basics of everything in the game.
Not long after getting Mount&Blade ('least the trial), I figured I should get the full version. But to my disappointment, I found out I have to pay online, as my guardians don't like to purchase things online. However, I did stumble upon the Taleworlds forum. And the one new thing I was introduce about gaming is modding. I got a mod (forgot what mod) and I put it in the Modules folder. I started up Mount&Blade, made a new game, and I found lotsa new stuff added (I especially loved the new equipment). Later, I looked into the files of the module, and found ways to make the -7 levels much more fun.
About three years later (Somewhere in the beginning of my 9th grade), Talak posted his minimod, Unique Armory. I loved the models he crafted so much that I wanted to make my own weapons. After a download of Wings 3D, I begun my work with the guidance of several tutorials. I was able to make several weapons, but I'd say my best is this: mah bastard mace.
And now there's that expansion, Warband. Mount&Blade is already getting an expansion pack, and I still have the trial version D: (I should really try getting around to buy it). Plus, I really want the Mount&Blade multiplayer fun, too! (Has read about them boxing matches and nekked axemen in the Guildhall)
I'll probably get the full game around this school year, but at least the trial is still hella fun.
(Just wanted to express my love of the game >.>)
