A sequel recommendation quickly sums up what you personally would like in an independent game.

In my case, and to be [overly] concise:
Torment 2 ==> very strong narrative, quirky setting
Arcanum 2 ==> steampunk, technology/magic mix
Icewind Dale 3 ==> Hack & slash, group combat

Avellone isn't going to read a paragraph from each user on what facets the game should have. He'll know from "sequel" recommendations and therein be able to see which style of game is most wanted.
