Re: A wise idea for IW?
Morrowind, as a game, was pretty complete, and I consider it to be arguably the best FRPG made to date. That said, the "expansion packs" to it are glorified mods + bugfixes. Civ3 is the same. One of the best 4X games ever made, with an expansion pack that should have been free.
OTOH, the Diablo 2 expansion is good stuff, but my beef with Blizzard is they charge far too much money for all their stuff. Still, I'm foolish enough to pay for it, so I can't really gripe too much.
The upcoming SWG expansion adds space travel and other features ... that were promised before the beta for SWG began and then dropped after the early testers (like me) signed on. It's reprehensible for companies to promise something, then cut features, release a half-finished product, and then charge for the missing features using an "expansion".
About the only game I can think of that provides good expansion content, and at a reasonable price, is Neverwinter Nights. Too bad it's owned by Atari, who after MOO3, I am loathe to contribute my money to ...
