The creatures first grabbed me. They are the kind of creatures I would have drawn, and yet never would have. Plus, playing the demo then seeing screenshots from later in AO was amazing. Pure mystery, that you don't get from other games. But it is really an impossible questions, there is an incredible essence that you can't explain to non-fans, yet for clinical Oddicts it is so very obvious. I also get a high each time I play- I've never gotten tired of SW, despite completing it seven times and coming round again for an eightth, and it's the same with the others. (incidentally, the only game where I haven't got all the charges out alive is AE, where I have about sixteen still missing.) I loved the darkness and creatures from the first game, and the humour in the second, but I do want a return to the essence of AO. Sprinkle on some AE laughs and mix the earlier characters with the SW species and we'll have something new, yet familiar. When we have Clakkerz discussing the Slig Barracks and mudokons taking on nests of boombats then I think we'll be there.
