Where is the Demigod guide?

I realize that this question *might* belong in the strategies section but... does Stardock/GPG have any plans to release a full on guide for all of the skills/abilities?  I don't own this game yet but I am VERY interested.  It kind of turns me off though that it seems like this area is really lacking.  The forums have some information but they are lacking in consistency.  The DotA wiki is freaking amazing and so helpful.

You probably have been reading reviews stating the lack of tutorial in the game. I honestly think it's best to set the AI to easy (Or normal if you're feeling risky) and get your hands dirty. It's the best way to pick things up. The game is extremely straight forward with a lot of depth. Hope you decide to buy it.

I have only read a few reviews and to be honest I don't really care about the tutorials/etc.  I played a lot of DotA, all the way back to the beginning, and there were never tutorials then, you just had to experiment :P .  Now though the DotA wiki has all of the details you could ever want and sometimes it is nice to see all of the abilities at a glance in order to determine strats/etc.  I was just wondering if they (Stardock/GPG) had any plans to create an official online guide.

Seriously now, I can live without a tutorial, manual, whatever. But at least give me a description of every skill on every char, if only for reference. Purchasable and citadel upgrades, too.

I believe Arreat Summit was instrumental to Diablo2's success, so why not replicate it? Especially since Demigod requires significantly less pages anyway.

I agree with you Mr11 and bug. I have not bought the game yet, but I would like to look at the skills to be able to decide which demigod i want to try first. Some kind of skillguide would be great, beacause I like to think before i act...

There is a wiki out there that anyone can contribute to (see here) but it is neither complete nor organized very well (IMHO).  The thing is that I want to be able to get a feel for the characters, or see the items side by side with the skills/upgrades so I can plan out my Demigod.  Granted, this can be accomplished from experimentation but it takes much longer.  I remember before WC3 came out Blizzard was constantly updating their guide (see here) and it helped to get a sense for what the heros did.

Maybe people who have the game could make a concentrated effort to update the wiki ;).  Either way, I think I am going to get this game I just wish that there was an official place to go and see an up to date skills/upgrades/items list.
