I'll forever be salty about them taking away those beautiful 2D isometric graphics :x

Nostalgia glasses doing their work here.

We went from that weird thing always facing the same side and with radioactive straw roof to more varied, nicer houses that can face any direction and are fully customizable in terms of color due to the huge variety of woods and stones.

Just to mention one thing.

The 2D had some charm, sure. Especially if using one of the nice texture packs made by the community. But refusing to see all the graphical improvements is baffling - the game is very nice and has a unique atmosphere if you play without nightvision, lines, grids, claim markers, etc... :D

Your own preferences. For me, there's no way the current half-arsed 3D can trump over isometric 2D that was before, even in comparison with the shittier ones such as the one you presented.

Well, fair enough. It's indeed a matter of opinion :)

New Brodgar looks like a death fortress from Mordor in LiF. Probably because our Mason, Bob Dole, was in charge of construction.

I'll provide screenies when back from Christmas away with family.

No hurry, although we do look forward to seeing it. or i do, at any rate.
"...the dungeon and shackles are already at my threshold to show me here and now my eternal disgrace. Only you can work the miracle to make life possible for a soul so imperiled by doubt, O Atoner for all, exalted beyond saying." - St. Gregory of Narek, Book of Lamentations, Prayer 1.

You are much loved! Love in return!

Whoopsie - Before I was able to get on to screeny it, they took the servers down until the next test run. It will be there when the servers come back, however :)
