Dominions II - Low Budget and Overpriced? I think not.

[Campy]

Low budget is not an issue with me. If a developer can make a great game at low cost and therefore make more profit, fine with me. As for "low production values" (or lower than some other games), then that is somewhat of an issue to me, but is not as important as good gameplay. Doubtless, the interface and graphics do have an impact on this games ability to reach a broader market, but are not critical to me.

However, I have never paid this much for any game! KOTOR was under $43 including sales tax at a B&M store (on sale of course). I think the most I have spent was about $47 (including sales tax, but on sale) for MS Flight Simulator 2004 in a metal case. With most games, if you keep your eyes open for sales and buy at the right time, you can save some money. With Dom2, there don't seem to be any alternatives. I am very intrigued by the apparent depth of Dominions, but I am having a hard time seeing that it is worth more than any other game I own or could buy.
