As Monarch for a day, my knight took his duties very seriously...including the king's wife..
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Of course he got into trouble along the way
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

He may have been giving the Queen a bit too much attention...as he got arrested :P
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Back to his duties, he had to feed the beast
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

So finally King Hoban Washburne is back :P
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Blacksmith playing fetch with the beastie hehe
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Ah my good drunkard doctor...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

One of her patients was a bad kisser and she felt it her duty to teach proper technique so he could woo a lady...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Apparently there is a lack of education in the kingdom as he got married to someone and then claimed he couldn't get a baby by kissing her...so the doc had to teach him again :P
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Which led to a bit of an upset stomach - hmm wonder why. So the doc throwing up is a matter of concern
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Muggings became sort of rampant around the village
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

New hero, my Spy
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Someone tried to mug her too - it didn't go so well
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

She was a bit eager for blood in general and had a tendency to kill first and bury the bodies later
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The king has started acting peculiar and there's a new regiment of dark guards about
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Doc is on the case though

Yes, the late great Lord Hoban is dead :(

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

With the king dead, there is a need of a new monarch - enter Queen Azula, who married the blacksmith on her first day of work
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The softer side of the spy :P
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Wizard "resting"
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Taking care of some dirty work
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I finished the first Ambition "new Beginnings" not long after that and have begun a new kingdom with a new ambition :P

Perhaps giving up the kingdom to the jester for a day was a BAD idea?

Sims Medieval

This will mostly be a picture of screenshots from the game that will no doubt give away spoilers, so if you don't want to know what's to come - stop now. :P (For Part Two of Pic Spam, go here)

Things I don't like about the game:
1) No aging - well infants age into children but that's it. I don't HATE this exactly because of the time period and all but I don't love it either.
2) The Camera - there are some areas in buildings that you can't spin around to get another angle - it bugs me. And TAB doesn't pop me into camera mode like it does in Sims 3, though there may be another keystroke for this?? *shrug*
3) After awhile the whole quest system can be a little tedious BUT you can ignore your quest for awhile and just free play and come back to it when you're ready with very little negative impact so minor irritant in the grand scheme of things.
4) There are still Rabbit Holes! I expected as much but still! :P

All that being said, I am really enjoying myself with this game! It's challenging but still has free play. The quests can be interesting and progress story progression at the same time. All in all, I'm enjoying it. While I won't be using it for stories probably or play it as much as I play TS3 - it's a fun game :D

Now for the screenshots!

My Monarch, Lord Hoban Washburne of This Land (bonus points if you get it)

That wasn't all he approached her for :P But I digress - King has gotten his wife pregnant!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Leaving his pregnant wife behind to sail the high seas!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I'm beginning to think this King is a little...hmm....what's the word?

As part of a quest, the Bard got roped into eloping with someone..
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

This guy willingly threw himself into the pit...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

And then King Hoban sent the Bard's new hubby to the Pit
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Which didn't end so well for him, why hello Grim
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

In an effort to "train" the king to fight the Dire Chinchillas - the master hunter had the king arrest and put in the stocks!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Still listening to this nutcase, the King plunged himself into the Pit...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

He defeated the master hunter again and got his specially made Chinchilla armor...
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
