Granted, I've already made my purchase, but this was refreshing to see a response to seeing as how it was pretty much what I was figuring on my gut feeling:
"As you can tell from the forum it's been rather dead, which is unfortunate. Scallywag has some nifty mechanics and a slightly different focus than most RLs (that being that speed to completion is more important than hacking everything in sight). The key point though is how easy it is to mod, and it's truly baffling that point hasn't been latched onto. When it first came out I knew a few people messing around with the ideas of some mods, but nothing ever came of it.
All I can say is play the demo. The demo gives you an excellent sample of what to expect in the full game (you can even mod the demo). If you're not interested in doing a lot of modding keep that in mind, as that will impact what the game is to you.
As far as updates, etc, the game when released was rather stable, with nothing out of the ordinary being reported. Unfortunately I believe the developer has other priorities in is life at the moment so don't expect any updates anytime soon."
So, perhaps some other folk here at the Temple may also throw in $30 for a digital or boxed copy somewhere in the not so distant future. Either way, we'll see what can be gotten cooking in the future down the line with this.
