Had we done an expansion though, and on an expansion budget, you would have seen a whole *lot* more.
I hope you will! You have a little fan over here
And when I say that a game is "okay" take it as complement because I usually love bitching and there are very few cRPGs I call "okay"
For example in recent 3 years there were only 3 good cRPGs: The Witcher, Mask of the Betrayer and... Mysteries of Westgate
BTW since I have a way to speak with you (I love that thing in english - I don't know if I'm speaking with one person or whole team but I can use "you" and in both cases it's correct
) then I'd like to give you some advices of a fan:
First of all you are on a good path and don't change it. I mean don't try too much to be cool like Obsidian did with SoZ. Obsidian made a mediocre game NWN2 then released MotB (which was great!) and later SoZ which has different opinions (for me it's horrible). You made a nice world with good atmosphere. That's because you made small world but thanks to that you could do everything by your own hand (I mean your "world" looks real and not empty like in Gothic III, Oblivion or SoZ). I hope your next game won't be different. I also like that "dark" atmosphere (please don't misunderstood it with shitty "dark&gritty" Bioware's campaign about Dragon Age) and hope to see that as well in your next game.
Secondly I want to say that you made "evil" [except ending?] very well. In most D&D cRPGs evil means mindless idiot-psychopath killing people. You managed not only avoid that but make Reinara realistic person. I don't remember another D&D game where evil party member was made better than any good one. She did have feelings as well, she came back to me because she liked me, didn't she?
And don't forget about endings! I don't know about good ending but that evil should have been done much better. Ending may change opinion on the whole game. Ever played Arcanum? The game was good but then in the end I thought "What the hell was Troika doing?!". That is because I got evil ending which was... one of the worst of all endings I've seen in all cRPGs. I felt like someone said to me "you got few hours of good gameplay, now fuck you because we're bored of work". It changed my opinion about the game and I do not think about it as classic as I thought I would be. At least they gave me 5 cool endings in Bloodlines
OK, I will stop writing in half of post because storm is coming. I will write more about my opinion of the MoW later.
