Hi,
About WitE, is it the full manual and is it updated?
Thank you,

I would also like to know if it's the full manual and not the first 5 sections of the manual.
I would consider buying if it's the full manual

it's not the full manual, just the firsts sections.

wish i had known it was a pointless manual extract before i forked over the cash for it.

its pretty damn deceitful business practices. no where in the advertising does it mention its only an extract

Wish I'd known that
Been waiting three weeks now in anticipation and only just noticed this thread
This is not on
I feel cheated as it was not mentioned
Please send me the FULL manual

Hi Danielle can you please clarify is this the FULL Hardback Manual like in DC Barbarossa for example?or just a "short note"thanks,as i have WiTE in cart and want to make a decision.

If it is the same manual that has been shipped with the game then it is B6(?) format, 130 pages.

OMG ! It is a poor manual which even is not full ....

What a wrong purchase

I bought the original boxed set, which cost $10 more than digital only at that time.
The manual was out of date at release.

Yes, it's deceitful. Never buy the boxed version of a computer game. It's pointless. I've given away $10 for worse, but it certainly taught me to warn the rest who can be saved.

The manual of WitW is a completely different beast and really worth the extra money.

Back in late March or April when I paid for the game, I paid for the upgraded version with this manual. I vaguely recall it would be sent in May. We're now halfway through May. When can I expect it to arrive?

So is it worth to pay for upgrade?
