10 Times Video Games Cheated To Beat You

By all means, the AI in Mount and Blade having leniencies you don't get isn't exactly a bad thing. It's supposed to be a game you can play through for a seriously long amount of time, and that wouldn't work quite the same if you could piledrive all your enemies into the dirt without so much as one tactical though in your head.

However, the more you play Mount and Blade, the more you're likely to note some of the luxuries your AI opponents get with a touch of envy. Firstly, they get the ability to run away when you defeat them, which is something you are never able to do, meaning where you lose money and resources when beaten and caught, they get to just leg it instead.

Combine this with the fact they don't need to feed their party for morale, and that they're incapable of doing friendly fire - not to mention a ton of other fun little details - and it's very difficult to not say the infamous line of "this game is broken" when you do get your ass handed to you.
