    Ignore the review by bombing, people simply cannot accept that Discord rules apply equally to everyone.

    took in a legendary prisoner because I thought I could handle it and he killed 30 people before dying to 2 shotgun blasts to the chest, one of the best simulation games out there 10/10

    Nope. Loved this game at one time, it was sold to Paradox for some time now, and it was all down hill from there. The recent deluge of negatives reveiws had me curious. Loaded up for the first time in a long while. Paradox launcher; just awful. I didn't even play again before it crashed and I uninstalled. A shame for what was once an enjoyable experience with fantastic mods!
