At that time a friend had given me a leaked version of the game and begged me to play it, yet when I did I wasn't too thrilled with what I saw.
Mount & Blade was a game that I always threw into my 'Probably not worth playing' pile partly due to the fact that my experience with the beta version some five years ago was less than memorable. Most of them didn't have the budgets or manpower to create the kind of complexity and depth that a true RPG requires and while I understand that can't be helped I still find myself unable to overlook it. While I enjoyed Jeff Vogel's 'Avernum' series and even toyed around with the hardcore D&D ruleset present in 'Knights of the Chalice', I never really considered the RPG side of the indie gaming revolution to be worth my time or money. By taxonomic | Review Date: SeptemThough I've always shown a high level of respect to independent games, I've never really found many decent RPGS within the otherwise inventive and resourceful indie scene that piqued my interest.
