I'm not sure about any one else, not that it matters much anyway, but one of
the main reasons I did like Privateer was that the lead character was not the
typical holier than thou hero. He was strickly in it for the money and if
ethics got in the way of making money, he went around them. The great thrill
of Privateer is that you stil hang around the WC universe, but you do just
about what you want to do. Hell, I still play it just to take out Kilrathies
(sp?) and Confed all alike.
The one thing that I do miss about the game is having other people there with
you that you can talk and fight with/against, but hey eventually Privateer 2
is gonna come out, and for me in particular, that excites me a whole lot more
than playing WC 3. 
My $.03 in. (hehe, gotta paid!)
