You're not the only one. I haven't taken the time to download the game simply because of all the complaints I've heard about it...

Eh, you can do it when the next update patch comes out.

Heya Corey, nice to see you again!

Heh, that much? Oh well, I am still here. Probably be around more after I start my own webstory too.

Those complaints are greatly exaggerated. Sure, it has it's problems, but they're mostly pretty minor. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the major storylines and pretty much all the minor ones too, without serious difficulty. A couple of Polaris patches from the addons page help, I do occasionally get offered the odd mission from a different storyline, and there is a little occasional weirdness with beams, but those issues are all fairly minor and don't really detract significantly from the game, IMO.

Actually, it's the missions and general storylines that I'm reading all the fuss about (you're one of the few who seems to have liked them). Everyone doesn't seem to have anything bad to say as far as the gameplay is concerned, however...

Agreed; all games have their teething problems.

They're a little unwieldy to keep track of, but apart from that there's nothing wrong with EV Nova's storylines. My guess is that the people who like them are still playing rather than talking about them on the web boards.

Obviously they don't have my mad piloting skillz then, since I've been through them all - most of them twice.

<Remembers DA is a beta tester>

Hmm... you've probably been through them now about how many dozen times, David?

Too many. The annoying thing is that most of the times there were bugs that stopped me from getting through to the end. Some people may find the Vell-os missions annoying now, but they're easy compared to what they were back when the rebel delivery missions didn't work.

nod I remember that... I also remember various bugs that stopped the game from working at all... that was rather obnoxious.

As it is, I didn't finish any storylines until after fc3/1.0.0, since I never had enough time to just sit down and play through everything. It's not all fun and games for us; we have to go slowly to catch everything. Bleh.
