Patcher

I'm a really long-time player here. I've kicking it since Exile 0: Twinkle in your daddy's eye, and have rocked the series all the way through Avernum 5: still no outdoors. (I gave avernum 6 a miss because 5 was just so disappointing). I've replayed it all about ten billion times, and I not only killed Rentar-Ihrno on max difficulty and saved Erika (thus breaking the plot!), but I did it with a party of 1 - and I got the screen shots to prove it! Do I re-invest in the new remake? I love the game, but the first Avernum remake brought a ton of new content and engine advancement to the game - I could easily justify it, because everything was so new and shiny. But when I look at the second avernum remake, I feel the engine is incredibly dated. I'm not expecting Skyrim (which is an action game in RPG clothing), but it's starting to feel like 'indy' is becoming an excuse for 'cheap.' Even if the engine isn't dramatically updated, I could maybe justify it if there was as much or more new content than Avernum had over Exile. Is there? Or am I just going to rehash the same plot as before? How would you quanitfy the amount of new content? 10%? 5%? 0? If it's too low, I'll just fire up sheepshaver, and enjoy a trip down memory lane, in all its retro-glory. I'd love to give Jeff a few new meals of chinese takeout, but honestly, I don't want to be paying for the same bloody thing I've paid twice for already... By the by? I read the FAQ. Fiddled with the demo. It hasn't really answered my question.
