I regret to say, but the sphere in Blades of Avernum has became much less good.

There are no more cunning creatures to fight, led by a genius, feared leader.
There are no more courir jobs,
the game is no longer "connected",
there's absolutely nothing more to do when you've beated all scenario's,
there's not as much to explore as in Avernum 1, 2 and 3,
there's almost no water, and only one scenario has a ship to conduct,
there are much less quests,
there are no more characters from the previous games,
and there are no more "teleport codes".

That's the whole point.

And there are more scenarios coming out. Just be patient and wait for the designers to work.

Look at BoE. There is much more for that than for all the Avernums put together.

Give it time.

If the scenarios in BoA was as complicated and detailed as the other Avernum games, it wouldn't have been finished this fast. BoA has got the editor and that took some time to develop I presume.

This "sphere" you are writing about seems more like an excuse to pick on something than a real problem. Try to appreciate the good things about this great game instead of bothering about the bad.

Besides, the scenarios that come with BoA aren't meant to be as expansive as the original Avernum games. They are only meant to exhibition that which it is capable of doing (DWtD, especially).

This is a terrible misconception. You can:
Make new scenarios
Code creature scripts
Code terrain scripts
Draw custom graphics
Beta-test new scenarios
Replay the scenarios with a new party alignment (singleton, all priests, all mages, all archers, one fighter and three priests, etc)
Post here to help newbies through the scenarios
I'm probably forgetting a few things, but as you can see, there is plenty to do.

Get BoE. You'll never have to worry about what happens after beating all the scenarios - there's hundreds of them.
