That about sums up what I think about sequels. On one hand they can be a way to rejuvenate a game series and bring back the characters that you know and love. On the other hand though, they can ruin not only the game but the original in which they were based off of. Take Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for example, though the gameplay really wasn't bad, it wasn't even close to the original Baldur's Gate games. Not only that but it in my opinion it made it to where there was less of a chance of the original Baldur's Gate sequel being made and more chance of a Dark alliance being made.
