I agree on this. The new skill system is improved over Avadon but it is still much less fun than the original Avernum system but it's more appealing to the casual gamer.
The main thing I noticed was that the beginning was ridiculously hard and then about a quarter of the way through it just plateaued.
The last thing to say that Jeff needs to understand is that making the light go out in the game so that you can only take two steps at a time was the worst idea ever. It did not add to the difficulty, it was just a pain in the ass. Please take this into consideration with your next game. I know that I won't be able to convince you to change the skill system back but at least remove this.
