Basically I stopped looking too deeply into the game when I heard there might be mounted combat in it, I've been waiting for someone to make an attempt at this sorely underappreciated type of combat for a long time. I don't really have very high expectations, but as long as it's more engaging than Mount and Blade, I'll consider it a win. Of course I would have played it eventually but this made me want to get on it early.
What I'm not really interested in is level 20+ play but I'm not so put off by it that I won't be able to enjoy it.
