I wonder if Jeff would consider revisiting his approach in telling the Avernum story from another perspective again like in Avernum 5. AV5 was an awesome addition in that it forced you to think about the Avernum story from another mindset. I think that playing the Empire in Avernum 2, or having a separate game playing the vahnatai, Nelphilim, Slithzerikai that overlapped the Avernum story would be awesome. Then again, I think everyone would get bored from Avernum and want something new. Just a thought.
