RPGDot Editorial: Sequels: Good or Bad for CRPGs?

Our staff member & fantasy author David 'Chaerea' Kay has written an Editorial about the pros & cons of sequels:

    "What, you may as, about those single title games then? Recently we have had a slew of them, Soulbringer and Arcanum to game just 2. None of these games have been original as such, and, in my opinion, they offer satisfying diversion, but do little to advance the genre as a whole. In fact, I have yet to see a game that comes even close to the depth of the ‘great’ Ultimas (IV-VII), though I do like the Steampunk and Magic setting of Arcanum. I’m sure there’s more than a little rose-tinted visioning of the past going on, but seriously, when was the last time an RGP revolutionized your opinion of what the genre could be?"
