I havn't read all the posts, but I'm thinking of 3DO - New World Computing. Most of the Might & Magic series was excellent. Does it get to a point where companies just rely on their reputation? It seems to look that way at times.

I think they often forget, specially with RPG"s that graphics are a little less important than story. The engine also makes a difference.

Look at Wizards & Warriors, great game but stupid engine.
