You don’t need to remain a penniless adventurer, either. In time, you will be well known in many places as you make friends and enemies with other characters, which in turn will allow you to affect events in profound ways. Mount & Blade: Warband lets you freely adventure in this world. Instead of giving you a fixed path to follow, Caravans travel between towns, sometimes being waylaid by bandits villagers take their goods to markets armies assemble to move across the land, besieging towns or castles and raiding settlements. You will soon notice that the world itself is dynamic. You may roam around the map visiting towns and villages, trading, pursuing various quests, taking part in tournaments, or trying out a myriad of other activities. The game offers you a great deal of freedom in this world.
In Mount & Blade: Warband, you play as an adventurer in the medieval land of Calradia, a fictional land devoid of magic and high fantasy, instead bearing many similarities to our world in the Middle Ages.
