I just want to bring up a favorite game of mine, Darklands, and get 
people's opinions on a sequel.  I remember, in the designer's notes, that 
they had planned multiple games (hence the saints from Norway), yet these 
have not, and apparently will never materialize.  Personally, I think 
this is a tragedy. For all of Darkland's bug patches, I loved the game.  
It incorporated more useful RPG systems than I care to count, as well as 
having a generally intuitive interface.  Of course, there was the 
extensive documentation and reserch, as well.  Every few months, I'll 
play the game again, that's how fanatical I am.  I am sadden by the trend 
towards more action oriented RPGs, that concentrate more on killing more 
beasties from level to level.  I want -more- open plotlines.  This last 
time, I discovered a subplot in the game that I had never seen before, 
involving pamphleting a town. Microprose seems to be abandoning a 
classic RPG.
