You Mount & Blade fans are like small children who have just been given a large oddly shaped easter egg, you love that its original has great variations on the Action RPG genre. In fact your so drawn in by the fancy-wrapping that when you finally sink your teeth into the chocolate and find, its hollow and unsubstantial on the inside you don't care , or worse you pretend it isn't.

Sure Mount and Blade has no rival for combat but thats it. Wheres the complex questing, the culture , the intrigue, there is some quality to mount & Blade but there far to much Action and far to little RPG. It isn't finished but there is only so much room for improvement in 0.8
