That wasn't what I intended..... that a mansion of mine is so a) hard or b) boring that a master practitioner like yourself is forced to give up on it.
I'm truly worried.
But I know what you mean. For me, this often happens with Freddie's designs. I completely admire them and I do like them.... but usually somewhere in the second third of one of his designs I can't seem to get further and eventually give up.
I know I shouldn't though, so I retry half a year later - maybe get a little further maybe not. But still can't finish before I lose patience.
However, I had always hoped this phenomenon is not the case with my designs....and - luckily - until now I haven't heard too many complains.
In my opinion, therefore, we should all be reluctant to critizise the bulders' building style. There will always be someone who likes or dislikes a special building style and that is quite normal. If I, for example, decide to make another mansion, I will not be deferred from my building style for 2 reasons:
1. I like it myself
2. I know that at least some of you like it.
