Lies, the combat is awesome

I study European swordplay (the hand-and-half longsword), and M&B is the only game where swordplay actually feels like swordplay at all.

Also fighting from horseback is wicked cool, and no other game let's you do that. Maybe you have the AI setting on too low? Put realism to 100% and play in first person mode, it's a rush!

?

Two Worlds (so I would be surprised if the sequel/expansion didn't have it)
Sacred (so I would be surprised if Sacred2 didn't have it)
NWN1 (with patches/mods) (maybe NWN2?)

And those are all fairly old games now. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more I didn't know about.
