Greetings!
Ah sounds fun! :) I should try those MnB games some time!
Now my body can only take slow games like Albion for a while... (one elbow still a bit sore)... also I'm so old ;)
NoNewTaleToTell: How do you like Albion? It looks really gorgeous from what I've seen, but I'm totally in the dark about it to be honest.
Aye, I heartily recommend Mount & Blade to anybody who likes sandbox-y action RPGs, if only because of its fantastic melee system! If ya like pirates then check out Caribbean!, which is a pirate themed version of Mount & Blade...literally! It's built in the Mount & Blade engine and its gameplay is heavily based on Mount & Blade too.
Hmm... It's different from what I expected :) The combat is rather simple at the moment but may change later as the party gains more skills and such. Basically it's a chessboard with enemies and player's team (at first only 2) scattered around. You can choose anytime before combat where the characters start. First battles took some time coming, and then they were rather challenging. The game seems to have a quite challenging atmosphere. The visuals and sounds are quite good in creating a future setting.
But it is old-school in many ways :) The 3D environment takes some time getting used to... and moving about in this way can be a bit annoying. But it's very well designed otherwise. And there's that lovely 2D environment that is graphically quite awesome! Personally I think the game is worth a try, and I am enjoying it quite a lot.
Ah, thanks for the tip! - gotta check out that Caribbean! ...ARR!
