Very thorough breakdown MLHFFYP. I don't think Lake Camelot can ask for much more than you gave him there. Nicely done.

The only thing I might quibble with (and this is not meant to be a criticism or a "fanboy" comment) is that there is a huuuge help folder that battists put together for this year's game. Though it may be a bit unwieldy due to its size, it is there in addition to the in game help thingy. There's probably a tradeoff to be made somewhere between the vast amount of options available to the OOTPer and the size of the help folder. To wit: you want all those options? Fine, here's your Magnum Opus of a help folder. He also has a stickied thread towards the top of this very sub-forum that may or may not have some corrections in it. I wouldn't know...I haven't checked.

Strangely enough I found the exact opposite wrt customer support over at Strat, which led me to keep looking for a game until I found this one. It would be nice if OOTP had better customer service, but for the size of the company, I think they do OK.

Other than that, Lake Camelot should be thrilled to have received such a comprehensive, thoughtful, balanced response from you. Cheers.
