Considering the modding support Warband offers, this game is useless next to it. Everything that this game could offer, a few people offer with their own free mods. The only thing that was left was the story, which is also quite mediocre. There are multiple story paths you can follow in the game, but none of them are detailed and entertaining enough. In short, it was a failure considering the series.
Played it a lot since i love Mount and Blade and i LOVE the time period the game's set on, it does most things pretty well, but it has a lot of bugs, especially in the questlines, and since it's based on the original M&B instead of Warband, you can't build your own kingdom without completing one of two very specific questlines that can be bugged and screw you over through no fault of your own. Also no real modding community compared to Warband.
Oh, and the guns are too innacurate! I still played it and had fun, but at the end of the day, the setting is the main draw, for everything else you go to Warband.
