Well Im playing this mod since it officially came out (0.70) being an alpha (so there are bugs and other issues still) and I dont have top tier pc myself, but I had no crashes now when its 0.72 and still alpha. Mod has great spectacular look on max settings (which I can still try, its just only less playable).
Mod is more balanced than native, classlimit is great feature which native lacks, it has lots of features native lacks and thats what I like the most (starting drowning after some time your head was underwater or instadeath if u fall too deep, taunts, nice little features like beheading, raid mode which native should have had from a start, etc). Archery is harder but more rewarding, horses are more deadly but easier to kill, overall it needs more skill to play and is lot more fun.
And then there is community, not only it is fun to play with these people, you can pop up on forums and have a help or just share your thoughts. And being still alpha mod it give you a nice opportunity to suggest new great features and if its really useful and fun be no doubt modders will add it (new fun features come an go if they appear imbalanced, new models are made etc).
To conclude I might just say whole purpose of a review is to decide if you should try a mod or not, no review can replace personal experience and a try is what this mod definitely deserves. I will just add that I spent many spare hours playing native before, now I use every chance to play this mod only.
