Thank you for these kind words.
 * I am tempted to point you (and everyone) in the direction of Dezoder's wall in order to provide feedback. But do not feel under any obligation.
 * All of what you say - in No Trumps - and these are the almost obligatory takeaways from my Misery blog exploit.
 * 1) Bone up on the Artifact Spawns and milk the Trade Route Tunnel zombies early in the game. Spend an hour or two IRL running them into the springboards. Collect Spring artifacts. Plough Cakes back in. Three springs and a few Stone Blood for bleed control and you're ready to take almost ALL mutants on with the knife.
 * 2) Visit Music Village early and repeat.
 * That's all. It's a knife fight. The game has been that fu*ked up by dez and his pals that it beggars belief.


 * Exploration was what ALL fans of v1.3003 took to their hearts.
 * Totally, totally shagged for DC Lost Shadow of Clear Pripyat...
 * You can't afford a working detector (shagged economy)
 * You can't find much on the map (99% removed) and I loved running "night searches" in say, Forest(Lost Alpha) or Dark Valley(Lost Alpha)... (v1.3003 come back...)
 * The missions lead you to 'linear play'


 * The result of all of this BS is that I now have a shedload of contribs who are playing with "this fix and that modpack" because that's the only way they can get through the game.


 * I can't verify their input.
 * I have no inkling of when a fixed version might be released. For more on that story read User:Crash Headroom's blog to see how long ago we were waiting on 'DC' - and what happened. Check the dates....
 * Like you - I think I'm also ready to "give up on LA" - it lost it's way after 1.3003.


 * LESS would very much have been "more."
