Not at all. There are a lot of people who love the game. I read their E-mails every night.

I'm new to the game and confused by the ammount of available fan-made scenarios. I want to play something long-lasting, smart and satisfying like the original Exile/Avernum scenarios... what scenarios would you people reccomend for me to play through?

Actually, this brings up a fairly interesting biblical proof that outright defeats the notion of free will:
"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."
Genesis 50:20

Joseph is saying that god had his brothers send him into Egypt so that the Israelites might have food when Joseph ultimately gains the power to distribute it as such. Which is odd, because in previous examples where the Israelites need to be spared of some horrible famine/massacre, it's usually the direct hand of god or at least a prophetic manifestation that saves the tribe. Or at the bare minimum (if we're to use the example of the Judges, which has its own set of circumstances that SHOULD make it inaplicable), god will make people to good things, but never bad things.

This verse most clearly implies the "hand of god" overriding the brothers' consciences by stating that their having Joseph go to Israel was pre-planned: That is, there was no free will on the part of the brothers.

Yeah, but who would play it? It would be the same as saying that your character(s) aren't the hero(s), just their secretaries. It may be original, but playable?
