No, no, I ment a completely new game from a reunited Legend. Which will never happen, of course

Since most of the designers come directly from Infocom, I suspect many of the games share some of the hair-pulling aspects with their IF forefathers. Dead ends, unforeseeable death scenes, struggling with the text parser, you name it.
Dead ends and time limits were one of the main reasons I never completed Spellcasting series. Steve is merciless.
But I can't say the same about other Legend games, especially those that came out after 1993. Even in Gateway 1-2 or Eric the Unready most of the deaths could be "undo"ne without fear. And there are very few dead ends as far as I'm concerned.
Death Gate, Shannara, Callahan's - those play just like you normal graphical adventure games.
