Default yeah, but what about the manual?

I have heard that the manual will be massive (i hope)....but, is this true? Or, is it just a manual on the disk in electronic format?

Personally, I hope that the manual will be a very good size (please, let it be more than 95 pages, with the Last 10 pages being credits and a place to write "notes").

I have read somewhere that the manual will be huge, and will have the spells all listed and all that jazz....please, can someone please tell?

Thanks

The disk will be massive due to the manual in it ?

In fact, the manual.pdf will be shipped on a DVD disk!

To answer the actual question:
I think the game will have a printed manual.

Item manual and Spell book migth or migth not be separate manuals:
If not separate, 71+88 is definedly more than 95 pages.

if it is sent in dvd case format, then the manual will be at most 40 pages or so. I dont really want IW to blow his margin by making a printed 200 pages manual anyway. We all have printers I think.

I would also like to see a large manual - I love reading game manuals - but I recognise that there'd be a lot to put in.

Could someone from Shrapnel or Illwinter answer this question for us?

I love the "nice" manuals too, but I dont care.
The game is more important for me.
