so this year I've asked Santa for Ruins of Myth Drannor and it seems like I've been a good boy, because I've already spotted the Collector's Edition in a "hidden" place.
I know this game has a not so favorable reputation, but I'd rather make up my own mind and see for myself. nonetheless I'm well aware that said reputation mostly has to do with bugs, lots of bugs.
usually I just play vanilla, bugs and rough edges don't scare me. but of course there's only so much a man can tolerate. what I'm asking: can this game be played from start to finish without using patches or mods? and if the answer to that is "no", then what patches and/or mods should I use?
what about minor bugs or glitches? are there any game-breakers or plot-stoppers? crashes? save-file corruption? what about widescreen-resolutions or widescreen-mods?
and afaik there's that issue that the game deletes your hard drive when you're trying to uninstall it??
in short: please tell me everything important about this game that I should know before I fire up that bad boy. (21 days to go!)
