@Wulf : You're right. I frequented forums a lot when I needed some help when I got stuck or with some bugs (
)
However, you can keep handbooks, but some forums dissapear, either because of unpopularity or no time (or money) by the webmaster. A lot of older RPGs and other games have lost their forums and it's quite hard to find some information for some of those games.
I'm for every kind of help included. I prefer it to be included. If people are like you and don't like the manuals or help guides, then they (along with you) can just put them aside. Others might want to read them when stuck or for some tips. Then others can also read the whole manual if they want to.
If there isn't a manual then the people don't have that choice, which is quite important for me.
@Alrik : I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Civilization (at least II and III) have almost complete in-game manuals with everything in it. I don't think I ever managed to read everything in those help pages. If you were talking about RPG in-game help then you might be right though.
I haven't seen any ring handbooks either. I do have some kind of magazine handbook for Civ II.
Never got a cloth map either . Too young for those I guess.
