As long as my laptop can handle it, yes. I know this seems to be a minority opinion but I'm really looking forward to playing it, and I'm more excited for it than I was for TS3 at least. I'm not too fussed by the removed features - I own the first three base games, Medieval, Stories, and all the expansions and play them all more or less equally, so if I'm missing toddlers, swimming pools and open worlds I'll play one of them for a while. But I've been waiting for travel between worlds and a merging of the trait/aspiration systems for ages, so I'm very happy to see both of those features. The only thing I wasn't too thrilled about was the decision to make the story alternate universe rather than continuing the story-line from previous games, but I figure if I can't get on with it I'll just get rid of the pre-mades for once and build my own - which will be nice, because for once I actually like CAS. I'm not expecting anything quite as cool as TS1 or TS2 were in their respective days, but I'm still optimistic.
