If one wanted to get some kind of measure of proportional difficulty, 40 sounds about right, I guess. > > *blinks* > > *writes note to self* "If you actually like seeing the light of day and not burning your kitchen down, DO NOT PLAY SOAT.

I don't think SOAT will be *that* bad. Think about it: If the difficulty will be indeed something like 40, it will be only like 3.6 times the difficulty rating of POAT. Besides, it will, if grem's estimates are correct, be released in December 2003, giving me something to do with my winter break. I think that the difficulty of SOAT is at least a little overrated. If you just take it a little at a time, I bet you'll be done in a few months, and if you really work at it, maybe even a few weeks.
