I got Mount & Blade Warband and Mount & Blade: Fire & Sword a few days ago at a LAN party. Mostly played Fire & Sword because we couldn't get Warband working on the network, but I've been messing around with Warband's singleplayer mode since I got back.

Fire & Sword involves old-school muskets and pistols that have terrible accuracy, hold one shot at a time, and take forever to reload. After dying a few times I remembered a show I saw once about pirates, and how it mentioned that they'd carry several pistols with one shot each when they raided other ships. It ended better than I was expecting it to. Although slicing people's faces in half with a pole axe after I got tired of shooting them was where all the real fun was...
