Hi all,
I bought the combined DA/GalCiv when it came out, and I have to say that my biggest problem with the game isn't related to any mechanical issue, or any contention with the economic model. I find it a very enjoyable game, with a wonderful array of options. As the post title suggests, the biggest problem for me is the writing. I don't want to offend anyone, but the grammar and style of many of the tech descriptions (and, to a lesser extent, the AI dialogue) is somewhat awkward. Sometimes incorrect, but often just awkward... it's a hard thing to pin down, and writing style is a fairly subjective area. I'm unfortunately away from my gaming computer at the moment, so I can't quote an example, but I thought I'd throw this out there. It's too late to edit this for TA, I'm sure, but perhaps comments like this will influence Stardock's future efforts. Again, no offense meant, it's just something that has always bugged me, and messed with immersion.
