First game I've bought from GOG, holy cow was a lot bigger and better of a game than I thought it would be. Very impressed. Didn't realize that it would be so good.
This is the type of game that you start playing and hate, then you keep playing and slowly your hate turns to love. Best played with mods that cater to what you want. It can be cluncky and confusing but well worth it if you take the time to learn the systems.
Played the game for a few hours. Not sure how I feel about the game just yet. I like it, but after a few hours, many of the quests feel the same. The map of the land feels small. If you lose your horse due to a lost battle in the beginning and you don't have enough currency to buy another, I'd recommend starting over or restoring a save game. Staying on your horse against hordes and ranged attackers is almost the only way to survive.
The Good:
* Combat mechanics are pretty good. As others have stated, I LOVE the ability to fight while riding your horse. I can take on bandits and low to medium level opponents with 20 bad guys to your 1 little old self. Just ride and dodge until the ranged attackers run out of ammo while picking off stragglers, unmounted, or lone attackers here and there and you can survive. The AI is okay in combat, but not overly spectacular. When 1 can take on 20 and win, well, that seems a bit lopsided, but still don't mind - you still have to earn the combat win - it's not easy.
* There seem to be plenty of quests to go around.
* graphics aren't bad
* item variety is good
* weapons and armor have characteristics to consider like speed, weight, damage and types of damage, etc.
* can buy other horses
* can build a horde of your own of prisoners, mercs - but don't get attached to them. While you may fight good, they may not be as nimble and quick on their feet.
* can customize your character's attributes, skills, and weapon proficiency
When you start out, you have two choices - an auto save with no chance to NOT save - meaning NO DO-OVER! You mess up, lose, get captured - that's that. Or, save as you wish option. If you are new, I'd recommend a save as you wish option at first to get used to the game and combat mechanics. Then if you feel considerably more gutsy, you can go with the auto save option.
The Bad:
* seems a little limited in map space
* medium level of repetition
* difficult to decide which faction to support/champion
Mount and Blade Warband might be better and a good choice for people who like multiplayer battles.
The original Mount and Blade offers only outdated graphics with a casual fighting system.
