If only! Sadly, no do-overs in RL.
Allow me to quit without saving 
Only too late do you realise that your money won't last. It doesn't take you long to fritter away what little you bothered to save, and you fare poorly in several desperate attempts to start adventuring again. You end up a beggar, living on alms and the charity of the church.
There was a similar thread to this in the PoP forum, and I posted this..
I am 76, and still playing. I tend to play just single player, and I keep coming back to PoP, which in imo is still the best Warband Mod.
Started playing simple games, and then writing some in machine code, back in the 70's 80's on the single board Nascom 1, and have never stopped playing games since. (I was a mainframe computer engineer for many years, and used to play a "text" version of Startrek on the mainframe on nights as a background job several decades ago).
Your never too old! just hope I last out until Bannerlord is released.
Games have certainly changed over the years, but one regret I have is taking my Nascom to the landfill, I should have kept it. It had expanded from the single board significantly, and had a sound mod I designed and built myself, as well as an expanded memory, overclocked interface, (programs were saved and loaded from tape), but best of all I had built a full maintenance panel with 8 of the main registers displayed on LED's so I could single step through machine code programs to debug.
All this was in a custom built wooden case.
I actually changed my mind and turned around and drove back to get it from the landfill but it had already gone, hopefully to a good home.

While you’re waiting for Bannerlord, you can still play the 1971 version of Star Trek without digging up your buried treasure from its landfill site.

Gosh, I did not know it still existed, just looking at the contents of the source files brought memories flooding back.
I used to work on the English Electric KDF9, and some clever engineers wrote a music program for it using the various peripherals such as printers, tape decks punch machines etc. as the sound source, and its rendition of "jingle bells" had to be heard to be believed. All the computer room would come alive as all the peripherals joined in to produce the various sounds they made. It was pointed out by the customer one Christmas it must have been the most expensive musical box around, (at that time it cost millions).

I'm almost 27. I was 21 when Bannerlord was announced and already played to M&B for 4 years.

Your engineers weren't alone:
It is indeed likely that the BBC recording of computer music from the Ferranti Mark I was made on 7th December 1951 because, in his book Faster Than Thought published in 1953, Vivien Bowden says: “In December 1951 the BBC broadcast the machine’s performance of Jingle Bells on a One Horse Open Sleigh and Good King Wenceslas.... On the whole it seems probable that this technique will have no other applications than the amusement of the programmers and their friends at Christmas time”.
Unfortunately, the recordings aren't online.

Old enough to be your mother without having been a blip in the teenage pregnancy statistics.wildnix said:Wow, you guys are all 18+, im 15(almost 16) and im waiting for 3 years, so i started playing Mount & Blade when I was 12-13 years old (lucky me), ahh I just cant wait to drink from some skulls, its a never-ending harvesting season guys! ahhh
I cannot say that I waiting for a game has ever been a particular hobby of mine, but while expecting TW's new baby to be released, I got a degree, enrolled for a MA program and got a full time job. Now I'm steadily going forward with my life and slowly, but surely, preparing the grounds to create a family. With that said, I'm not really sure whether I'll ever get the product, as I have barely played any game in the past months. I have to admit though, this is the best and most sane community I could ever hope to meet over the internet. I'll never regret lurking for so much time around here.

I've been waiting six long years. When the original teaser trailer came out I was in eighth grade and was hoping the game would be out for Christmas of 2013. I'm currently a sophomore in college.
If this game doesn't come out before 2020 my disappointment will be immeasurable, and my decade will be ruined.
