Great game, but not for everyone
If you're not into retro games, this isn't for you. This is an update/remake of the old Exile games, hence all the "problems" reviewer D2 complains of. The graphics are not snazzy, but let's be clear: if you like open-ended, big-world games with great plotting and decent writing, you will like this one. If you need Flash and other bells and whistles, avoid, and leave Avernum to those who appreciate it.
