I could forgive the low production quality if it did what it said on the tin. The crazy part is it seems the rules claimed aren't even there. Say I'm the person who was excited that I can now model horse neglect in a RPG, rusting armor, and weather influencing combat in detail. Say I wanted my players to have to track their downtime, lest their skills atrophy. (And assume that I'm not aware of the games that already model these things).
It's simply not there. I can't comment on the realism of what is there, I bought the book and made a character (a fighter). From what I can figure, in 7 minute round, I'm more likely to injure myself with my sword than my opponent, which seems odd for a trained warrior. (For me, I could see that)
I guess this is a long-winded way of saying, I agree. No love. Over the top marketing to a newspaper that I thought was a joke at first. (Come on, a ultra-realistic rpg from Vulcan? It's just asking for Trek jokes)
