"Nothing in the game is really "new" in terms of cRPGs. People who are experienced with them aren't having problems with the game. In fact, this game was designed as a spiritual successor to Ultima VII. It also is far more intro-friendly than Ultima VII was."f

I am experienced with crpgs, going back long before Ultima VII. If I want to stumble around blindly, I'll stick with real life. If I'm going to play a game, I'd prefer knowing the rules first. Again, to clarify, I'm not criticizing the game--I like the game and will continue to play it--but the basic documentation sucks. And for that there is no excuse
