Conan Exiles is a great game. I have been a huge Conan fan for 30 years and I am a big fan of crafting survival games. Exiles has done a great job of combining these two things for me. The devs have been faithful to continually updating the game and this last major update with changes to combat is excellent. Here are some of the pros to the game and some of the things I would still like to see.

Pros:
Incredible graphics (though still a few bugs in there).
Large selection of craftable items and buildings.
Crafted items range from base to multi layers of crafting required.
Enemies and summoned creatures are awesome.
Nudity shut off! This is by far my greatest pro for the game. While I am fully aware of what the world of Conan is like and
that he is quite a womanizer, I don't want nudity in my games. I was so excited when Age of Conan MMO came out
and then I played it. The game play and graphics were great until i ran into topless characters as well as other players
acting out sexual acts with thought bubbles displaying all of their graphic conversation while they were doing it. I
immediately deleted the game from my computer and haven't played it again. I was disappointed for just a moment
when Exiles came out and I saw that there was nudity, then I realized you could not just shut it off on your solo game
but even if you are playing on someone elses server you can still set it so that you see no nudity. A big shout out and
thanks to the devs for putting this in. I am so excited about be able to play this game and have recommended it to all
of my friends.

Things I would like to see added or improved:

The story feels like the only story line there is bits and pieces of journals that don't necessarily have anything to do with
each other and the tablets with the voice of the ancient ones that again don't always connect with each other. It feels
less like a story line and just fragments of a history book. This may be the intentions of the devs but I am not a big fan
of it.
It would be nice to see more NPC interaction, including quests etc that would add a bit of an RPG feel in. I think this would
fit nicely with the feel of Conan. I will grant it is better than it was in the earlier release but I still would like to see it go
further. Also I think a great addition to the game would be that if you run into tribes of your own race that they could
friendly and you could trade with them or even hire "thralls" from them.
I don't really know if this is possible but I would like to see the creature spawn points continually change in the game.
Keep the same types of creatures in the general area, but it would be nice other than nest animals that the same
creature doen't always spawn next to the same rock every time. It would make resource gathering more interesting
since you wouldn't find the same animal resources in the exact same place all the time and tougher creatures
wouldn't always be blocking the same resources you are trying to get to.

All in all I would give this game an 8 or 9 out of 10. Great job guys I love playing it. Thank you.
