Bought Mount and Blade: Warband and begun the journey of Borris of the Woods, son of some fuck nobody. I decided it would be more fun to be a nobody, and so far so good.
After arriving on the continent, Borris instantly got captured by bandits and held prisoner for a week. He then set out to gather a band of angry farmers with sticks, who regularly lost fights to bandits. After delivering a letter for a lord, he was given the opportunity to collect taxes from a village for a 1/5th cut. Now with some money in pocket, Borris set to trading across the world and gradually acquired some better gear and men. Tragedy struck after investing everything in oil, but getting robbed clean by bandits before the final delivery. Down on money and men, Borris was back to square one.
After spending all of his money recruiting all of 2 men from a local village, Borris was in a bind. He thankfully found some work hunting an outlaw for a lord, earning him enough to recruit more men. With a band of 10 he went out to harass peasants in the east, to steal their goods for profit. The world had taken everything from Borris, it was time to take something back. After thoroughly angering 2 factions, and with a few hundred money in pocket, Borris went back to recruiting, gathering a band of over 40 angry farmers with sticks.
Now Borris is back in the game, trading and trying to befriend any lords who will give him work.
I've been playing this game for a total of 3 hours.
