I don’t know if you were around for the release of Agricola, but there was a lot of people complaining about how Agricola didn’t look like the board game. I may have impacted their decision about how to implement Waterdeep, but it really just shows that there’s always people around to complain about something (case in point, me in this thread!)

Yeah, I remember the complaints and I thought they were silly. It’s not as if the tabletop game is all that beautiful; the app is charming and retains every last element of the game, but with a fresh coat of paint. You are likely right about that informing the art direction of Waterdeep, though. The irony, though, is that of the two, Waterdeep is the one that needs a little more flair to make the theme work. Heck, I think meeplesource probably got up and running to supply people with Waterdeep meeples to replace those silly cubes.
