Part of the charm is that they're so completely open ended unlike a game of Civilization or even an open world like Skyrim that you can basically do whatever you want, and they're so comically broken that you can decide to do something really stupid and commit really hard to the bit like a 'Make The Caribbean All Dutch' run of SMP or a 'no legs run' of spore. it's a lot like why I end up replaying Sid Meyer's Pirates or Spore. Mount and Blade is one of those 'trashcan pleasures' for me where pretty much every aspect of the game is.like how an unreleased early alpha of some other game would look play and feel, but the simple conceit of starting as a single dude in the middle of this vast world, and clawing your way up from walking to the nearest town and fighting a bunch of naked guys in a weird collosseum battle for money to having an unstoppable military force so powerful you can start to change the map of the world is just so goddamn addictive that it works anyway. They claimed to have sured up the AI, and Bannerlord looks beautiful. Love warband despite the poor coding which turns 50% of the siege battles into Monty Python Skits lol.

Man! Mount and Blade is one of my favourite games.ĭitto.
