If you wish to destroy all ships you meet, go at it. If you want to be a loyal member of the English Navy, hop on board. As you get further into the game, you quickly learn how hard it is to have a stable crew, cash flow, and do quests at the same time. While some may say the game is difficult, I found it challenging enough where it kept me motivated to sink just one more ship. As it stands right now, the game is very entertaining, challenging, and has a little something for everyone action, role-playing, and adventure.
Sea is good.
