Sounds like it could be a good thing for 2nd generation of next gen if it plays out well.
 
old news, it's a new franchise, running on UE3, directed by the MCA. And fuck you, if anything Bioware is Black Isle Jr: RPGs dumbed down for the Blizzard audience !
 
Haha, yah I missed that.

Black Isle - King of Kings!
Bioware - Black Isle Jr. - Diablo-esque!
Obsidian - Bioware Jr. - Black Isle Jr. Jr. - Consolitis!

I love Bioware and I love Obsidian and I can't wait.
I would like to say that I agree with this statement, and also that I hate most of the posters on this forum and would hit them in the head with a shovel if I ever busted into their messy little anime/pron layers.
