Mount & Blade = Instant Classic

[Reinhart]

Bravo to developers of this outstanding game. M&B reminds me fondly of old style games, back when they were designed to be fun and not the epitome of beauty. (Though I will admit this game is not ugly, and on the contrary, some of the animations are beautiful.)

Even in this unfinished state it is the most fun I have had in years besides my Rome: Total War *Hugs Rome: Total War* But very rarely do I fall absolutely in love with a game anymore, I have not yet bought this but I fully intend to. $12.00 is a deal beyond a deal, I would easily pay $40-$50 for this when it was finished.

There are many things I can compliment this game on, it's stability, it's animations the raw fun of the game in general. But that has been done a lot. I have spent a while with the game and gotten two characters to level 6 (The stopping point for the trial version.) so, obviously I am not as experienced as many of you and have only just found this game. But I hope to help contribute to this game in suggesting improvements as I see their need, the only thing I can suggest right now is to improve the AI of archers (Which has already been suggested.) Everything else I would suggest (Like explorable towns and a story.) Are in the works... so, excellent work and keep it up!

I agree wholeheartedly. M&B in its unfinished state has been more fun than most of the finished, commercial games I've played recently. No, it's been more fun than most games I've ever played! Anway, there is a newcomer thread for this sort of post.

See The Introduction/Thank You thread http://taleworlds.com/v-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1334.

That way the forum doesn't get too many threads praising the game and giving the developers a big head.
