Mount And Blade: Warband has THE best combat system I've ever seen in games with RPG elements. To tell the truth, I did not know about Mount & Blade until 4 months ago, though I did play quite a number of RPGs. For a certain reason, I had to uninstall Skyrim for some times, so I looked for another RPG to kill time when bored. Mount & Blade's combat system did more than to help me kill time, you see. It AMAZES me. I cannot bring myself to like Skyrim's combat system after experiencing Mount & Blade's. It has struck me to wonder: Mount & Blade was out 5 years ago, and, not doubt, it was successful, then why did Bethesda not take advantage of this combat system when developing theirs? It adds so much depth into every combat that I'm actually looking forward to playing Mount & Blade: Bannerlord than another Skyrim's DLC, unless that DLC includes a combat system's overhaul just as good or better. I know it doesn't sound fair for Skyrim, because Skyrim has a lot more to offer beside combats, but this flaw along with what they call "conversion of details", which makes Skyrim's map so small and crowded with dungeons not-so-many-step-from-one-another, are holding back Skyrim's potentials. Seriously, I wonder who's the lazy dude wanting to complete an RPG so fast that complain about the vast and empty map of Oblivion, and who's the guy in Bethesda actually listened to that. Thanks to them, Skyrim came out as small as Connecticut.
