I'm still playing the crap out of this game, even after what, three weeks? It's just sooooo fun! I'm starting to look at some mods, and also contemplating doing some modding of my own. It would be a good excuse to learn Python. Anyway, there are so many ways to play the game, and I've got three different campaigns going now: a powerful vassal who had a large fiefdom and helped in wiping out one of the opposing factions; a rich merchant who is piling up the cash faster and faster as he gets more skilled in trade; and a freelance warrior woman who has stirred up a rebellion that has currently stalled out badly. All three stories are fun and entertaining, and I think some of the mods are supposed to make the game exponentially more fun, which is hard to imagine. I haven't even touched the other three games I got for Xmas, still.
