The problem is that the "game" parts are not very good; even outright shit, especially if you compare it to Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.
It more than makes up for that in atmosphere and writing, but many players are expecting to, well, play a game, not read a novel, which is entirely fair.

Tides of Numeria suffered from the same issue.
