Probably all those artistic screens and locations were very well responsible, superb piece of art a lot better than generic soulless 3D.

I really loved all the watercolors they used for various locations, and the Traveler-style character creation. The gameworld was so much more threatening and dark than any of the generic fantasy settings...it was an excellent piece of work.
And you're right. An updated...or hell, just a version than ran well on XP...would be very welcome.
