It was mostly the brain-dead AI, lack of queues and a couple other things. Easily solvable within a remastered edition.

Ascendancy would be my answer to the OP as well.

By the original post, remastering is considered:

QuoteJust to be clear - this is not asking for a full blown remake, just a pure graphic and sound "facelift".

If there's more that is allowed to be done then I agree.

i agree with both of you, and think it would take more than a facelift - but so would a good remake of Arcanum, where the grinding and inventory management were not up to snuff.

When I think of "remastering" I think that the essence (story, feel.. "ambiance," if you will) remains the same, but everything else gets modernized, including AI.  You clearly mean it in a more limited sense, but that's okay.  The OP really agrees with you, but I'd not want a Fallout, for example, with just better graphics and sound.  I'd want a "remastering" to be on the scale of X-COM.

Yep. I don't think it makes sense to remaster just graphics and sound. Things like physics, AI or UI that were also constrained by hardware or lack of code base have improved over time and should be part of any updated gem.

Of course it makes any remake harder, because you're taking decisions instead of just upgrading the quality of assets. A task for which you already have things like concept art or raw sound files. But it also makes it really worth it.

There's an IOS remake from a few years ago. I can't vouch for how good or shit it is, since I'm not an Apple person.
