Attracted by the £3.99 offer this weekend on Steam, I purchased Mount & Blade. It nearly hooked me...

...but after a couple of hours play, I struggled to find any quests, and every time I was attacked, it was by a far more powerful enemy, with the inevitable results. OK, I'm sure I'm missing something, but this is very boring.

The idea of a completely free sandbox game attracted me, but it looks like I'm returning to the totally story-driven Mass Effect 2...
