Not that I'm fanboying but I think they were breaking a lot of new ground back then and if they had to make everything perfect they'd have released in 2005. That and being pioneers comes with a lot of unforseen issues. I often feel like they cut corners but they probably had a lot of constraints so I'm not judging them too harshly.
That's why sometimes I feel like keeping things classic is great for nostalgia's sake but it is dumb as rocks when it comes to making a good game... but if we fixed everything wrong it just wouldn't be the same.

Agreed. The spirit of the game is far more interesting than a 1:1 copy, even if the latter is revealing more details about the game itself. McQuaid really should have been asked what else he would have fixed/done differently in retrospect. He did say no to epics on level 1 characters and a few other things which changed p99 but think that was it? There are still the other original devs that would be worth emailing and asking.
