Default Maual comments

I would just like to comment on the Dom3 maual. I personally think that is exceptionally well done. It is so easy to find things and is a vast improvement over the D2 manual. Breaking down the magic by catagories and charts along with explanations is very well done and the way it is set up. Kudos to the D3 group. In regards to misspellings etc, hey thats going to happen with 300 pages, For us older geezers, it makes it a lot easier to work with I also like the explanations as to why they did things the way they did on some of the magic and races, and I had some good chuckles over some of the personal comments that are included. It gives a personal touch to the manaul and the game, which very very few games or companies do..

Once again, great job

Thanks for the praise, Mac! Johan, Kristoffer, and Bruce Geryk did one hell of a job with the Manual. I think I am going to start calling it a reference guide. It is so much more than a manual.

Yeah, definitely the best game manual what I've ever seen, and I have tons of games.

Big Thumbs Up for the manual... lots of useful information whether the gamer is a beginner or an experienced veteran.

Wonderful manual. I love just leafing through the nations, they have such great descriptions. The Grimoire is invaluable, and I always have it open when I play.
