    I guess I'll have to try that Mount & Blade... I originally disregarded it as the graphics are like.. from the last century. Do mods improve the graphic quality at all?

    Not that I've seen, and the complete lack of story is a bit of a turn off.

    There is one mod called the Graphical Enhancement mod (Plus the HDR mod) which makes the game beautiful! You have to stuff around with the gamma and brightness options but if you get it right the game's graphics ptich forward several years. Worth looking at and can be combined with any mod.

    I forgot one game which I can easily put at the top of a Most Wanted list; Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. I never had a good go with the original but I really liked ArmA, so if they make it better (Which isn't that hard when you consider it) it should go great. Release is off by several month's, possibly next year; but with the open world environment they're promising no wonder its taking so long.

    I guess I might go and try M&B with that mod sometime.
    I didn't even know there was another Flashpoint coming; I absolutely loved the first one. One more game to add the my list!

    The new Flashpoint will be made by a different team, ArmA was made by the original OF developers.

    Hearts of Iron 3. If EUIII is any indication, then it should be decent.

    So you would disregard the awesome gameplay just because the graphics are a bit dated? Kids these days.

    A bit dated? From different screenshots its graphics look like equal to those of Morrowind. The age difference between these games is over 6 years I believe, that's a long time when it comes to pc games. I don't think its strange that a new game with obsolete graphics did not manage to catch my attention. I'm not exactly a graphics whore either, I still play games like Rome, and recently played Morrowind (although heavily modded).
    Wonder what your kids comment has to do with anything, especially since you're the younger one here.
