It's your play time - play what you like. I do, however, have a little bit of a problem with the whole "excuse'' thing, because that paints Spiderweb's stuff as some sort of sub-par product rather than just something you don't like.
I'm playing Geneforge 5 at this moment and it offers 5 playable factions...does Mass Effect? Or Fable? What's their excuse? Oh, that's right - it's too expensive to do the assets for more than two identical paths through the game. Sorry, your lack of funds is no excuse.
True it offers five playable factions but is it not running on the same engine of the previous games before it? So, in effect isn't the game just a matter of him writing a story and using old assets? Seems alot easier then doing fable/mass effect.
Avernum games in particular use so much from the previous ones as well as exile it really takes away from the product. If any games could be called an expansion pack, spiderweb games fit the bill. Don't get me wrong I have played alot of their games, however I find he (being jeff vogel(I think thats his name)) really does not take any risks at all, and prefers to stick with what he had for the first of all the series. Too bad because he could really advance his own games if he did that.
