with it patched, the bugs were minimal, and the graphics are gorgeous (love the Sky Fort and the Chasm of the Dead, and all night skies are just eerily beautiful). The gameplay was just a little quick (compared to how long MM6 takes to finish), but by the time I got to Hallenhalt I was a bit saddened that the game was going to be over soon. I know the purists will rail about the differences between MM9 and th previous editions, and - yes - the Nordic naming conventions are silly, but I just finished my second run through the game and loved it.
