The doctors are pretty stupid. Without the hospital, Sick people get healed sometimes, and sometimes not. They never train themselves alright. The same thing goes with parenting. Even when your village is out of space for newborns, all the parents want to do is have sex in the funky shack. It's really lame, since mates tend to go for those who have alot of skill, which means that the non-parent mate gets distracted away from whatever job they were doing. Why can't those set as parents just teach the children?

I never played VV1 and hoped that VV2 could be as hands off as VV1, but the level of lame micromanagement is getting really annoying. It's kinda disappointing.


The micro-management in the game is actually somewhat of a "feature" if you look through all the posts of what everyone wanted in the new game, that's basically what they all ask for. Everyone wanted to be more "involved" in the game and they wanted more to do than "set it and forget it". IMHO, I think that LDW did a great job at developing the game so it could be played succesfully either way. You can go through the game with a fine tooth comb and get every collectable etc, or you can spend a little time each day playing it then leaving it for long periods of time. One thing that I think this game does is give you A LOT more game play for your buck.
