All I can say is, is that when playing this game, think as though you were actually in the situation. It's extremely realistic.

Also the combat is one of the best I've seen, peasants are easy to kill, soldiers aren't. Not just because they're armored, but because they're genuinely good at fighting. If you die, it's not because they had a higher level than you, it was because you weren't skilled enough. Of course there are some RPG-esc leveling systems that mean you do more damage with particular weapons and such, you can take on even the strongest knights and defeat them with a even just kitchen knife, you just have to be good.
