"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
Can you give some specific examples in the game where you have to stumble around blindly because it isn't described in the manual or through some tip window in the game?
