[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5693031, member: 2205"] I don't think so... I agree that your tastes and expectations are perfectly reasonable. That doesn't mean that they were shared with the majority of the rest of the customer base. By and large, the customer was well-served by a large variety of module styles during the 3E era. That you found few that met your needs doesn't make your preferences unreasonable... just niche. That's not an insult or denigration, by the way. It seems you are reading it as such. It just means that the market didn't cater specifically to what you wanted because it didn't percieve that there was a large segment of the customer base that would pay for what you specifically wanted. Supply meets percieved demand, after all. Heck, my tastes are quite a bit more niche than yours, I'd say. Please don't take that as some kind of put-down. I'm proud to be on the bleeding edge of what I want in my games. Although I wish it didn't bleed quite so much sometimes. Oh, sure. But your definition of quality was... quite comprehensive, shall we say. And included a number of things that aren't strictly related to quality at all. You've basically come up with a definition of quality that exactly equals "your taste." And hey, that's fine. But I do disagree. I'll think you'll find that many do. [/QUOTE]
