Very interesting. This kind of reminds me of the Might and Magic series. Only because it was so customizable and I ended up getting so engrossed in it. I can understand where you are coming from. I have just started playing Halflife 2 again because it was free to download over the weekend. I don't have any consoles, so I am restricted to PC games.
Having played many a M&M, I can say it's not like those at all. This is more real-life stuff, no magic, just medieval combat.
Its on the PC, so accessible to you. Very hard start, but you need to train your skills before trying things.
I meant how addictive it is, not the playstyle. I still play the M&M games to this day. I recently downloaded the package of all the games on GoG. I'll have to see if it fits into my budget. I don't like spending a ton on games.
