I personally don't think that the custom story support had that much impact on Amnesia's success. 95% of them are cheap jumpscare stuff, and even though I played LOTS of them, I can spontaneously name only 3 or 4 really good ones. And, in my opinion, not a single one was comparable to the main game in quality or quantity.

I did 3 complete playthroughs and I'm still pretty scared by it. Tongue

As said before, this is absolutely not comparable. They are creating a completely new game, mostly from scratch, while custom stories/mods only use or alter the stuff that is already given.

Do I really have to tell you why this is stupid? I mean, two things...
1. Torrenting games from indie developers is baaad.
2. You're talking about illegal downloads on the official forum. I don't have to explain why this is dumb.

This game is not being built from scratch. Far from it actually. They've gotten a tweaked version of the engine and they are rolling with it that way. I've see just from the screenshots and trailers, at least 50 things that have just been imported from the original amnesia. Also, the custom stories did have a major impact. Frictional themselves said it. Bunch of cheap jumpscares? Not all of them. There are plenty out there that are downright amazing, if you'd like, I can put a list together for you. Do they compare to the original game? Not entirely, they're mostly made by a single person. Custom campaigns were a large part of the game, hence why it was made so easy to install them and had the placement for playing them smack on the main menu. Pigs will no doubt be an amazing game. But why would I pay the same price or more for it, when the original came with so much more? Much more being, a longer game, ability to learn and create for it, and custom campaigns galore to increase replay value. If TDD scares you on your third time through, you're an easy scare. The game is ENTIRELY scripted. Everything will always happen at the exact same time, every single time. This is not a sequel, it's a glorified custom campaign.
