Hey all,

Just wondering if any of you have heard of or tried out Mount&Blade? It's a very intuitive Medieval combat simulator with role-playing elements such as minor quests and character building. I find it highly addictive with the massive amount of mods the community has made available the replay ability is almost never ending. The only complaint with the vanilla version seems to be that the game needs a little more depth. Otherwise it's really fun riding on horse back and knocking your foes off the back of their mounts with a bow or a blade and laying siege to castles.

One thing to note it's a big step away from point and click rpgs, it's closer to a FPS as your movement controls are the "wasd" and you have manual directional targeting with mouse. If you play Oblivion you may be able to get into it fairly easily. All in all it's worth a try as the game is a very light download and offers a free trial as it is still in the development stages soon to be released.

Here's the link if anyone is interested:
