I'd rather ca stay away from stw2, they will almost surely disappoint those who played stw in the early days. Better not to shatter the image of a near perfect game we still have or have built up in our minds. Imho they will never again get the atmosphere that spot-on as they did in the original one, mainly because the series has moved on to a different audience. Stw was aimed at a niche market with a relatively small and specific audience, as opposed to the broad audience the series is targeting now.

Maybe when ca actually faces competition that's about to best them in atmosphere, ai and graphics, it's time for a new epic episode or a quality remake of stw.
