As a new user, I was confused by
1. What a whompa was, why I needed to know this - this should be among the first things you explain!
2. What a nano program was, how to take one from inventory and upload it, then use it.
3. The process of updating nanos, where to find them, how to know which ones I can use, etc.
4. Implants, I am still clueless about these though I have some, but have no idea what to do with them.

In general your manual was confusing, you need to rethink the way you present the info, some of the newbie info is decent, I was able to get hunting in the virtual area quickly, but the first char I created had to be trashed quickly after because of what I didnt know, and couldn't undo. But the way it was presented was not. Eventually when enough fan sites are about it'll be easier for new users, but for right now your manual is about all that I could find, and it still left me bumbling.

I wouldn't count on that one making it into the final draft ;)

Better first-time introduction to the game
What the game needs is a quick introduction 'scenario' that steps players through the process of playing the various aspects of the game. I don't think a manual will do it, as most people install the game and jump right in.
Another thing that would REALLY helpful is to have the camera in the game automatically set to 3rd person but locked behind the player when they first enter. The 'floating' camera when you first make your character is SO annoying and very confusing.
I really like the female voice that helps you out when you first start, but it would be nice if she provided you with some instruction for common commands, how to move your character, improve your stats, etc. as you move through the introduction 'scenario' I suggested above.
Hope that helps!
