You'd be surprised? They draw people in pretty well despite their age and quality :/
Better, I doubt it.
First impressions are everything. A lot of people are still into the dark broodingness that AO started off with. The first thing anyone's going to see playing NNT, actually starting the game, will be RF. The gameplay looks smooth so far, and I'm hoping it comes out very nicely polished because if anything, I can still admire the gameplay even though it'll be drastically different.
So many people only play for story, though. And people want a large variety of things they can enjoy. If you throw new RF in peoples' faces, they won't have the same impression if you had thrown the original in their face. So far, I've shown a few people the new one first, then followed it up with the second. All of them said while the newer one looked nicer, the original had more of an impact on them.
The building still has an oppressive atmosphere, just in different ways.
