Pretty much all of Som's bugs will be no more. Though there may be bugs related to the game events which won't be helped. And probably some wholly new bugs thanks to the new code involved in extending Som. Otherwise the games will feel damn near professional and there should not be any usability issues, and there will be a whole lot of new conveniences, including everything you expect in a retail appropriate game. There are also a lot of top notch graphical enhancements if your hardware can handle it. Nothing a cheap off the shelf gaming card can't handle.
I feel like I've gotten pretty far in Trismegistus, but from what I can gather I've hardly scratched the surface. I really like the atmosphere and the fact that we have some games that demonstrate what Som is easily capable of, but I'm pretty weak sauce in the puzzler dept
For the record: 6 solves, 2 intellect, 12 magic ability (though I think I have some stat boosting items in the inventory)
