But UW is much more complex than W3D. Notice in UW that your screen 'bounces' as
you walk, simulating real walking ? Or that UW has slopes, ramps, pits, etc ?
I like W3D, but its only a graphic upgrade. Still flat floors, square edges, etc.
UW  FELT like a real place.

Now if they would concentrate on plot and storyline development.
