I only have one thing to say about this game. Since downloading the demo in October I have not really played another game since. Bought the Icewind Dale add-on and opened the box (played for about 2hrs, then went back to se4). The only other game that has had me this addicted was Civilizations (the original) back in my university days.
DAMN I love this game. And as to company support, in a world where games are fired out at us WAY b4 they are ready (anyone remember the Battlecruiser fiasco a few years ago?) I think MM has supported this game quite above and beyond the call of duty.
Aaron deserves a raise/holiday and his name in lights.

(and whoever did the artwork as well, some damn fine shipsets there!)
