The docs suck! (rant)

[jaytau]

A bit of a rant: I remember hearing that they didnt want to distribute the docs with the demo cuz they wanted to make it more difficult for pirates.

After I got the game, I have to say THE DOCS SUCK!

There is like 10 pages of 'real' information that is actually usefull, the other 120 pages are full of regurgitated spell and item descriptions. Man what a let down.

It would really have put warm fuzzies in my heart and feel that the doc writers actually earned their money if they put descriptions of the units, races, etc.. Anything EXCEPT the stuff that's already in in-game help.

BUT, I know how it is... we already bought the game, so why bother having the doc writers spend an extra 2 weeks of writing and editing? You have our money, so mission accomplished.

Not only that, but I bet the docs were written months before content was actually finished.

AND ONE MORE THING: since the docs basically suck, why not allow people to buy the game Online? The manual is NOT helpfull enough to be nessicary.
