Thanks for your feedback on Hero Lab! We're very aware that the first-run experience could be improved, and we're hoping to be able to address some of your complaints in the coming months.
Regarding your suggestion about skipping the "Select game system" screen - this form serves an important purpose, as it indicates whether new updates are available (for Hero Lab or our game systems). If we skipped this form for users who have just a single game installed, we'd have to make this functionality more accessible somewhere else, which would add complexity there and require additional work on our part.
There are definitely a lot of things we can do to improve how things work for new users, and we're always keeping that in mind for future Hero Lab updates. In many cases it's a matter of figuring out the "right" solution to implement - one that works better for everyone, not just a limited subset of users (e.g. people who only have a single game system installed).
Thanks for your feedback, and hope this helps!
