For those of you that are not familiar with the Mount & Blade series, they are a set of open-ended RPGs focusing on medieval mounted combat (hence the “mount” in the title). I have been quite a fan of TaleWorlds’ Mount & Blade series for some time. I just play ’em and sometimes have opinions. Also, I am not a video game developer, nor am I a critic. I think I’ve played over 50 hours in Warband, and I still enjoy running around the map doing my thing and definitely have not seen every aspect of the game. With a game like one of the Mount & Blade series, you have to spend a lot of time playing the single-player campaign to really experience it all.

I say a “reaction to” because I’ve logged less than 10 hours and therefore I have not gotten the full experience yet.
