Getting this for Christmas

[Doug-Thompson]

If you all have any specific grievances, want to air them?

I don't mean to be impolite or inhospitable, but every possible quibble with this game has been aired, aired loudly, echoed across the valley, re-aired, repeated and aired again. Honestly, just look at the official patch wishlist if you want to see some complaints that actually have some merit. Even then, many of those complaints are not absolutely certain to be errors. For instance, you'd think elephants were immortal from reading some threads. Javelins kill them readily.

There are no guarantees you will like this or any other game. If you get it for Christmas and don't like it, you will have to consider the possibility that Santa put you on his naughty list for being bad.
