One night, I was looking for the Gothic games on Steam, and happened to come across a game called "Mount & Blade". I was somewhat familiar with it, as I did come across it in some of my other journey's around the Steam Store. So I though, "Let's give it a shot". I downloaded it, and was shocked by how bad the tutorial was. It was so bad, that i thought that the Red towns (Swadia) were looted towns, castles, and villages. I should also mention that I ended up paying $10 and played the last M&B Classic version ever released.
10/10 would figure out the game again.
Anyway, after my younger brother figured it out (As I gave up and had to play on his PC at the time) he explained everything to me. I was quite intrigued and went back to explore. I was killed by a band of looters 2 minutes later. I then figured out horse combat was useful, and always joined the Vaegirs, despite joining the Rhodoks in Warband.
