Me and James have been playing this recently in Japanese, which is a hilarious combination of him trying to read the ancient era Kanji and understand the comedy old language when they speak and me using my vast love and obsession for the series and the novel to try and work out where the hell we are from the characters and map alone. Together we're just about getting through it. My preferences and prejudices rarely change in this series and I doubt they will now, Jia Xu is a badman still, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao always inspire awe, Sun Quan is still the biggest ponce in the series and it still gives me a rage boner when I get to murder him on the battlefield.
