New game: Mount & Blade

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg (More info?)

I found this game by accident and i must say that i'm really impressed. The
demo is only 37 megs and the game so far is amazing.
Here is RPGDot's preview:

That should keep me busy for a while.

What's wrong with someone coming across a good RPG that most people have
never heard of and reporting it in an RPG newsgroup? Every single thing
he said about it is either definitely true, or believable.

(1) There is a review at the site he linked to,

(2) The demo is small,

(3) It seems to be quite amazing, based on what people have said on
various forums (see the long discussion on the Penny Arcade forums, for
example),

(4) Most people talking about it seem to have discovered it by accident
on forums, or by word of mouth.

He's not a spammer. He's a regular here. Pay attention.

Paying attention takes too much effort!

Just the phrasing...he will most probably not defend himself by following up
on his original post. Plus, I have powers of perception that transcend the
puny skills of mere mortals, such as yourself.

He might be connected with the game. But I doubt it, it has like a 2 person
dev team, and I've also read discussions about this game on web forums.
Discussions that predate this one and were started by trusted forum members.
Check octopusoverlords.com for an example thread.

Also, the game is pretty ok for what it is, it's still a beta. The free
version is pretty fun, though limited. And to register it, it's only like
11 bucks. And if ya register it, ya get get all the updates(the full
version) whenever it is completed. Even if it's never completed, it's
probably still worth $11.

For the record, i'm not associated in any way with the creators of the game.
I saw the preview on RPGDot, tried the beta and then thought that some
people might be interested about the game.

If anything, the creators should have come here to advertise their game.
This newsgroup is about CRPG's and would be the perfect place to find
potential customers. It's a lot more relevant than steamKiller's insane
rantings. It's even more interesting since we're going through a slow period
for new games.

Well, you would say that - you're obviously connected to the game in
some way. I mean, it's obvious, innit?
