Given the choice between a Mount or a Blade, which would you pick?

I bought Mount & Blade in the bundlestars bundle, and after reading up on using it with wine, I discovered that there is a Linux port to Warband. I'm a big sucker for developers who port games to Linux, so $5 later, I have warband as well as Mount & Blade. I don't need both. I've seen some arguments that it is worth it to have both because of all the mod's available for Mount & Blade, but I just don't see myself having the time to play both. Honestly, I don't really have time to play either one.

The giveaway is for Mount & Blade on steam. I'll PM the code after the giveaway.

Rules:
Open to everyone.
You can enter for others.
Giveaway will run until Monday, July 7.

I'd like to be in for astand, actually.

Mount and Blade is fantastic, I play just vanilla Mount and Blade and I never tire of it. If I start playing it again, any progress in other games just freeze. That said, blade, preferably a claymore.

Thanks for the GA but not in.

It depends, If I'm about to go to a war then blade is the best choice while others maybe mount is more appropriate.
If it is to choosing either one in M&B then I choose blade.

I hear that Warband basically adds just multiplayer and achievements, and while those are pretty significant things, I'm not interested in them.
So I'd like to be in, thanks!

For me, it'd probably be a mount. Easier to escape if I'm getting beaten :D.

Assuming I also get the skills to use it: a blade. However, a mythical mount like a dragon or something similar would be even better than a blade :D

Count me in please :)

I'm in.

I haven't played Warband, but it also adds a faction, expands the map and changes up the landscape and adds other features like marriage for instance.

Actually theres a lot more than that (a lot of which was pretty much "inspired" by the mods for the original mount & blade) - just so you know.

Both games are awesome though - and the mods for either will keep you going for ages.

AVOID "With Fire & Sword" though people - utter trash!

I presume Bannerlord will add full support then.
No idea if that gonna be any good though - F&S was (as I said) trash, and I didnt hear much goog about the napoleon expansion either.
Will hope it will be though - a lot of potential in the games as the mods show.

In and +1

With just a blind choice and no clue what anything else is... I'd go with mount. I may be stranded somewhere, or miles away from where I need to be, A blade is really only worth having if I'm being forces to defend myself, outside of that, it's just extra dead weight. And even were I in a situation where I NEEDED neither, a mount should be easier to sell.

Oooh, great giveaway!

I'm in please. I've heard lots of good stuff about Mount & Blade and would love to give it a try.

I'd definitely choose blade, I love me a good sword.

I'm in, thanks Hummer010 +1

I choose a mount, because a mount is more useful than a blade.
Indeed, you can defeat your foe by crushing him under your horse, but you can't mount to a blade !

I'm in with a blade! Thanks, this game is seriously addictive!

I'm in +1 I would choose a blade over a mount. You can always stab some bastard in the neck and take his mount.
