Default Re: Updated Manual?

Except in a lot of cases, the mechanics in the manual are wrong.

Want to know how fear works? Too bad, the manual left out the most important part. You'll never understand how fear is as effective as it is based on the manual.

Want to know how criticals work? The manual is wrong. Many of us are still wondering what the actual mechanics are.

Want to know why shields are so effective against arrows? The manual is wrong - it would have you believe that blocking an arrow with a shield is the same as blocking a melee blow with a shield. In actuality, a successful shield parry totally negates the arrow.

If you're interested in how the basic mechanics actually work, the manual is going to steer you wrong something like 90% of the time, or isn't going to tell you.
