No, I didn't think so. 2) Wow, you managed to come to such a thoughtful conclusion based on three preliminary screenshots and no real knowledge of the engine. 3) Discussing things on the forum means nothing. Jeff hardly ever reads them. If you wanted him to get your (mostly unworkable) ideas, then you should have emailed them to him. 4) Despite that, quite a lot of them are actually implemented in Avernum 4. The spell system is massively improved and all movement is still turn-based. The movement system combines the best parts of Avernum and Geneforge. The graphics are preliminary, and they are the way they are for the simple reason that it was easier to modify GF graphics to the Av4 format than modifying Avernum graphics to fit the format. 4.5) 12 of the 36 suggestions from Verelor's post are implemented. 5) You may have valid concerns about the plot, but nobody can really know right now. 6) How about waiting for a demo before drawing a conclusion? So, please read the six-page Avernum 4 thread in General and direct all further concerns there.
