For those of you who play this wonderful game, there's a new DLC out with what should be some definite gameplay improvements. It's called "Legacy of Rome".

This is the thing that bugged me the most as well. In fact, it was the only thing that detracted from what was otherwise a very pleasant experience. I don't know if Barnes was just running with the "If you don't know what's bothering me, I'm not going to tell you" thing that gets pinned on women sometimes, but the last bit of the book made me feel like I was watching LOST in space (see this trope). In fact, the "I know the answer but won't tell you" trope is one of my pet peeves. It seems like such a lazy way to build drama. Other than this, a rather enjoyable book. I'll admit that at the end I went and looked for other people's responses due to the overwhelming sense of "wait, what just happened!?!"

I've been planning on watching the movie for some time, but after the Episode 0 discussion, I'm pondering reading the book. Is it a good enough book to go out of my way to read? I think I recall Chris calling it a big of a slog at points.
