Another launcher?!?
Yep, despite buying it from Steam (with

But never mind, I'm playing now. Olde Italy looks lovely. Frame rate occassionally slows during big group fights and the lipsynching lags a little, but I'm sure (or hopeful) that a few tweaks of Graphics Settings will sort that out. And maybe stop that hot smell gently gusting from the back of my PC too.
In the story: I've finally beaten that familiar fellow (brother? I should pay attention to cut scenes) in the race to a church roof and now I have to sneak off and find some woman somewhere.
LEAP OF FAITH!!!
