The greatness is in the lack of story.
User Rating: 9.5 | Mount & Blade PC
This game is simply amazing. it is a true open ended action/RPG/RTS game. you can do anything you could ever want to do in this game. you came be an notorious bandit, a noble lord, a rich merchant, or a evil tyrant. the greatness of this game lies in its lack of story line. most other 'open ended' games just have multiple story endings. this game allows you to be who you want to be, do things how you want to do them, and i feel that is simply amazing. this game also has an amazing combat system, which is very simple, but easily simulates the moves your character is doing. another thing i found quite amazing was the degree in which you are able to customize your character. you can change just about every aspect of your face. also, there are hundreds of different items, ranging from meat cleavers to longbows. this is also a large trading aspect to this game. you can buy and sell goods in different towns for a profit. combine this with the bloody, brutal combat, great controls, good enough visuals, and an amazing amount of items, and you have what should be an award winning game that will intently immerse you in its brutal awesomeness.
