I would ride away on my horse while firing a crossbow behind me.

Walking away, flicking a cigarette while an explosion bursts behind me, wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket.

Oddeye's comment makes me wonder if Skallagrim hates Mount & Blade because of it not being realistic enough, he probably does, right?

If someone came at me with a sword I'd give them a swirlie and stuff them in their locker.

This guy hates Mount & Blade?? How is that possible? The game is fucking awesome, double so with mods.

I've watched most of his vids, and I don't think he's ever opined on M&B. I can't imagine him hating it, though; can't imagine anyone hating it, to be honest.

What's y'alls favorite weapon loadout? I usually use a Masterwork Bardiche, Warbow, and (Bastard Sword/Katana/Maul, depending on circumstances) for field battles (Courser mount), while I prefer 2-h Morningstars and Warbow with double ammo for siege defense, 2-h Morningstar, Warbow, and Huscarl shield (to be used while scaling walls and discarded once inside) for siege offense.

If someone came at me with a sword, I would cast magic missile.

if someone came at me with a sword i would run, that person is a retard

If someone came at me with a sword, I'd just turn into the Hulk and crush them with my comically large green fists. I'm always angry. That's my secret.

If it is classic M&B, nothing beats couched lance damage, in my experience. In Warband, not so much.

I'm a Warband guy myself. Lances were too much of a pain in the ass for far too little payoff; while it sucked occasionally getting one-shotted by a Khergit lancer during the first thundering charge, once the battle was joined, lances were pitiful compared to a galloping bardiche death-chop.

Skallagrim's goofiness is part of his charm.
