I do not think this is a bug but it's something that i think the devs should look into. Fighting several enemy's is almost impossible, at least at low lvls. The health regeneration some enemy's have is insane. For example i was attacked by 3 bounty hunters as Peter Blood. The fight started and i did my best to kill them, although it was impossible. They regenerated faster than i could do damage to them. This is something i find to be outright game breaking to some extent... Fighting 3 enemy's is hard enough, and fighting them with this ability to get full health in matter of seconds does not make it easier...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The player and his officers have this ability too, it's called health potions. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Anyway, I've found these:
- You are not told that you can't do a nation quest line if you start the pirate quest line (more of a dumb design decision than a bug but still needs fixing).
- Playing an Englishman, I constantly keep getting accosted by French and pirate guards, very much like when sneaking into an enemy town. Only since I'm on neutral terms with them they simply give their useless banter and go away instead of initiating combat. Enemies (Spain and Holland) behave like enemies and my own leave me alone, but neutrals behave like enemies and then leave me alone anyway.
- Officers sitting in taverns identify themselves by profession, but a lot of the time when you check their skills you find out they'd be even more suited to a different position than they say, eg. a bosun has more skill in defense than in grappling and so is more useful in a doctor position, etc.
- Port au Prince and Puerto Principe. Puerto Principe <b><i>is</i></b> Port au Prince, in Spanish. Gave me a bit of a snag when I was sent to Puerto Principe and went to Port au Prince thinking "oooh, cool, the NPCs refer to places by alternate names in different languages". Well not quite. If they absolutely wanted to keep the historical Puerto Principe on Cuba they should've named it Santa Maria to avoid confusion (since it was originally called Santa MarÃa del Puerto del PrÃncipe).
- Some translation issues: The game constantly refers to your "team" when "crew" would've been more appropriate. The navigation skill description says that the diffecence is "deducted from the ship class", implying subtraction, when "deduced" or "determined by" would've been better. Also the characters refer to the "Blue Bird" but the ship itself is named "Bluebird". During battle somebody announces to you that the cannons are ready to fire, but referring to "left side" and "right side" instead of "port" and "starboard". The English flag is also incorrectly called a "union jack"; there was no union until the 1707 Acts of Union were passed, merging the kingdoms of England and Scotland and their flags, the flag in the game is merely that of England.
- I created a profile named Sordid at the beginning and everything was swell. Then I created a Player profile because I wanted to see the other characters starting setups and whatnot. After I was done I deleted the Player profile and kept playing the Sordid profile. Problem is now every time I run the game the Player profile is created again and when I want to load a game I have to pick the Sordid profile. The Player profile keeps reappearing no matter how many times I delete it. I'd like it to go away since when there's only one profile the game loads it automatically without bugging me.
- Some quest descriptions you get from characters or in your journal involve a location, such as "deliver cargo to [name of town], in [name of island]". Occasionally the name of the island is missing.
- I received the "easy pickings" mini-quest from the store owner while sneaking in a Spanish town. The ship was there alright, but it was a bloody warship that blew my wee brigantine right out of the water. Yeah, real easy, that... So I'm not quite sure if this one was a bug (since AFAIK merchants aren't supposed to sail warships) or if the store owner deceived me (which would be totally cool).
