The frame rate plummets to, like, one frame a second! Clearly I can't play this game with my crappy computer, so I Quit.ĭamn. Narrowly avoiding Sea Raiders, I enter the town And click explore the streets.

Next, I leave the Training field and head for Tihr. It seems range of the sword I'm using is serious lacking, for I have to sidle really close and swing several times to hit anything. I attempt to ride past a series of targets but at the end of the time limit I successfully destroyed 2 targets. With the opponents beaten I try some horse practice. the number of real games I have played a significant portion of can be counted on one hand. I get knocked unconscious three or four times. I fight a bunch of random dudes, but it certainly wasn't as Flickerdart's Let's Play made it seem. The training field is right beside me, so it seemes the logical place to go for a newbie. Then I start a new game, and select a background for my character. But so far no significant problems arise. The controls feel very clunky and unresponsive though, like I click to attack and my character doesn't immediately respond. All seems fine at first, I break some dummies, block an arrow or two, and knock out some club wielder. I try the tutorial first to get a feel for the controls. Okay, after a few minutes of loading the main screen appears. I was watching lots of videos, reading the Taleworlds forums, even seeing what Strategy Wiki has to say. I've been interested in Mount and Blade for a week now.
