Yeah, maybe... however, those very "WoG settings" help bring it closer to SoD... And there are some very interesting innovations there... In general, I love WoG, although lately I've been playing the classic third installment.
When I spent about an hour of real time trying to find the Shackles of War (I really needed them), and finally dug them up, I realized how silly this whole thing was... I lost interest in using them, because there was no excitement left - it's a kind of perverted "god mode," where the opponent simply has no chance of resistance... It's the same as entering a cheat code. And there are many such moments.
Therefore, SoD is a classic, and it can no longer be improved. And it doesn't need to be... :)
