Do you want a better game or a pretty one? I want a better one, and I do not believe that OOTP has chosen wisely in choosing pretty. Hate me all you want for wanting a better text-based simulation. I don't care.

I want the best game there is out there. If adding some 3d graphics will help sell it to another 10k people, that's enough money to hire another AI programmer. The game is growing, but there's nothing that says that it can't grow both by adding more 3d and by refining the gameplay/AI components.
