For example, having Guybrush single again, not having to run errands for Elaine or trying to save her from LeChuck. Every Monkey Island game since Ron left has been about saving Elaine (wether it's from a Curse or something else). After Ron left, Monkey Island has been going in circles, much like the Zelda games, or to a much worse degree, Mario. It's the same story told in a different way. The eternal triangle of love and hate. The villain, the hero and the princess. That is why I want to see a reboot, wether it's from MI2 onwards or from the scratch. I don't mind these things in Zelda and Mario, but I don't want this in Monkey Island. I don't want to know what to expect. There's no surprises anymore. Lechuck is good, no just kidding, Lechuck is evil. Surprised. Er, not really.
The storywriters just doesn't have any balls anymore. They rely too much on giving what people expect rather than surprising them. I'd much rather want the latter. For this to happen, I think something drastic has to happen in the next Monkey Island game.
