So I installed Mount & Blade, Warband and F&S last night. I was wondering if /v/ had any recommendations as to where I should start. Should I just begin with normal M&B, are there any mods I should get and so on. I've literally never touched the game before.
Start with the Warband. After a while, once you grip the basics and learn to rule, I would try it with the Floris mod.

Go Warband, it's basically vanilla upgraded.

Floris mod, got it. Thanks.

So there's no reason to play the normal version at all?

I would probably start with the Floris as soon as possible (once you get the basics right), but other anons might not agree with me. Dat soundtrack, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftWiTDhuIjY
I don't see any reason to play vanilla at all.

As I said, it's basically an upgraded version of the normal version. There's no reason not to start with Warband unless you don't like some kind of feature.
Floris is pretty great and I'd advice you to pick it up when you start your second campaign. I wouldn't start with it as it might be a bit overwhelming with it's new features if you don't grasp the core game itself yet.
There's a shitton of big mods. You could check out the general at /vg/, they should have a list of them in the OP.
I came into this thread expecting an overwhelming amount of shitposting and questioning of one anothers' sexual preferences. I was pleasantly surprised. You've come a long way, /v/.

Although OP is reallyalright.
Play warband single player, get the basics down.
Then you can worry about mods and stuff later.
Multiplayer, you will get fucking wrecked. You will get absolutely destroyed. Single player can help prepare you some, but only if you make sure to turn to turn the speed up and turn off auto blocking.

Rhodoks are THE most fun faction

I fully intend to get rekt. Gotta start somewhere. First time I played Chivalry back when it was a mod I was endlessly pelted by arrows.
Nowadays I'm still pelted with arrows, but I've learned to accept my comfy little place in hell.
>>318438571
single player won't prepare you for shit
Reminder to never use automatic blocking, that's for scrubs.
Reminder that numbers mean nothing, what matters is positioning and the fact that the player character is OP as fuck against AI
Reminder to never try to besiege the Rhodok starter castles
Reminder that Nords fucking destroy everything and have only Rhodok Sharpshooters to fear if they are badly positioned.

Play warband first. Then once you get bored with it think about playing mods and other m&b games.
