I admit, I probably wouldn't be fond of drawing maps on graph paper again.
But I want a game with strategical and tactical depth, something that gives me a real challenge and makes me think.
I want to find my own way, not follow a quest GPS. I want to feel great for making good tactical decisions and I want my party annihilated for bad ones. I want to manage resources and healing. Heck, I'd love a morale system like the good old "Wizard's Crown" had on the C64 (anyone remember that?).
