As seen here:

If Bioware isn't involved, I am not interested and with Jade Empire/Dragon Empires there is a good chance that they are not the developers.

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

BG3 is probobly Jefferson,Interplay gave to some other developer to finish i guess.
Since Bioware stated there is no NWN2,i suppose they mean Dragon Age.

That's a little hasty. I mean, I know Bioware pretty much guarantees quality, but their absence doesn't conversely guarantee crapiness

 

[Vieo]

BG3 AND NWN2? Oh shyt! I think my head is gonna explode!

I just rebought Baldur's Gate 2(collection, I never played the expansion). I'm going through the entire series all over again. I just wish I could get my hands on Tales of the Sword coast.

Anyway, if they've got the games mixed up, hopefully one out the two of them are correct. I think I'll start saving to upgrade my system now. Too much good stuff on the way not to.

no, it's BG3 by Atari

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

no, it's BG3 by Atari

I mean ATARI could have bought it

 

[carbonbased]

NEVER SAW THAT COMING.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Hmm...D&D RTS...

 

[Ghost]

Surely NWN2 is Dragon Age?

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

D&D RTS was allready shown,there are some screens on the net

 

[Teknopathetic]

Is Dragon Age even based on D&D? I thought it wasn't.


Edit: Yup, Dragon Age is based on a new ruleset. I really doubt they would make a NWN sequel that wasn't D&D when that's the major appeal to most of their fanbase .

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Wait...just to clear things up this would be Baldur's Gate 3, not Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 3 right? I'd really like a DA3 but I heard Interplay is having some problems right now, so it might not happen. That's too bad, as I'd like to see where the series was going.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Yes, this is about the Main series, not DA.

 

[Mashing]

I suppose Black Isle (if they still exist) could do it and while I didn't care of Trokia's last game , I suppose they have the pedigree to do it as well.

 

[Teknopathetic]

AFAIK, a lot of the top talent of Black Isle is now at Obsidian, whom are doing KOTOR2.

 

[Mashing]

Yeah, I know that... I started to say Obsidian could do it, but I don't know if they have enough people yet for two projects. I could definately see them making the games IF they can get the license.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

So not only is Interplay having problems, the group that made the game is dead? was there a reason why? I thought the two games sold well, considering.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I figure Black Isle dissolved because Interplay's been heading down the shitter for awhile.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Obsidian is working on two projects at the moment. The second is unannounced. There is hope.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I thought I had read that in an interview, but couldn't find a link. Didn't want to get anyone's hopes up meaninglessly.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

where's that crying icon when you need it? seriously, the DA games (and lately Champions of Norrath) are the only kinds of games I can get my wife to play with me, simply because they aren't competitive.

but you say there's hope?

 

[element]

Dragon Age has not relation to D&D. Bioware own creation and own rule set.

 

[Teknopathetic]

The original BGDA was by Snowblind wasn't it?

 

[radios shipping overview]

The original BGDA was by Snowblind wasn't it?

Yeah, with supervision and design handled by BIS staff.

What is this Dragon Age you guys speak of??? Never heard of it. Plus, isn't Bioware already working on a Xenon project?

Dragon Age is the next game from the NWN Team. It was shown at E3 behind closed doors only.

 

[Limedust]

Despite many of the problems I have with The Temple of Elemental Evil... the battle system blows away what the BG and IWD series have. If they can just clean up the quest system and squash the major bugs before release, I think Troika could really deliver something.

I just bought all of the Baldur's Gate games. You can get Tales of the Sword Coast right here.

http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/208576.asp

It's the "Baldur's Gate Original Saga," it comes with Baldur's Gate and the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion, and it is only $9.99 (USD).

 

[kevm3]

Dragon Age look really good. Is it PC only and will they keep all of the conversational branches and the such?
