Yup.
It's a concept with great potential, but I dunno if any company actually wants to make something that big and open nowadays. They hamstrung SCL's gameplay for mass appeal, and crippled the DM/modding side of things for the sake of DLC; a NWN-style game may well be an anachronism in these times. A shame and a bummer.
Yeah, I really love the concept, but it just looks too shallow right now.
Reminds me that I really should replay NWN, don't think I've played that game outside of the one time I beat it. Such a fantastic game.
