Ok... but nothing to back that up with? I appreciate that others here have said it's dated and given reasons, but you're not making a very persuasive argument there.

EDIT: To elaborate, I've previously made a point on a weakness in the writing, but not necessarily the mechanics. Are you disagreeing then that a well written and original story for a game using conventional adventure game mechanics would then be uninteresting?
