Obsidian isn't BIS. Deal with that. BIS, and BIO had a business relationship. BIS/Interplay didn't hire BIO 'cause of their good looks after all. Theye xpected BIO tod evelop games for them. you also forget that BIO had worked for Interplay BEFORE BG so they already knew what BIO was capable of. What BIS did for BIO was work as their games' publisher. Nothing more; nothing less. I wouldn't expect them to do anything but that. Stop trying to give the credit for BIo's success to BIS. i think it's funny you'll do that but you won't blame BIS for you disliking TOB or NWN (which BIS/Interplay wa spublsiher for 3-4 years). R00fles! Obsidian is doing well ebcause of Obsidian. BIO is doing well because of BIO. BIS is dead because of BIS. Game over.

Grom is always 'imposisble'. I don't think he's a big fan of Mr. U. I think Mr. U beat him up when they were both in high school or soemthing. :D I'm sure NWN2 will be released no matter what. I'd be shocked if it wasn't.

I could say something; bu the past should be in the past... and, besides I like Mr. U and he doesn't need to be reminded repeatedly of stuff that happened years ago. It's time to move on. And, so far, he's done an excellent job (along with his co owners) with Obsidian and that's all that matters.

"If I was an LA fangirl I would have all of their titles which I do not." Never said you were. Haha Roshan. You know you'll buy KOTOR3, Hades.

."..or when they got help from BIS on SoA & ToB" Hello? They were the publishers. That was a part of the job description. LOL Again, BIO is where they are because they know what they are doing. Obsidian is where they are because of the choices they made. BIS no longer exists because BIS along with Interplay FAILED including decisions Mr. U made himself, and I say that even thoguh I I like him as he's cool... but, he's not perfect... BIO is successful because of BIO. If (and when) BIO fails it will because of BIO. This is undisputable. Game over.

"They had nothing to do with it. Obsidian was the maker aka former BIS people. " Yeah, but they were smart enough to hire Obsidian which tricked you into buying the game without the comapny explodiang ala what seems to be happening to Atari! In my book, that makes them auto better than Atari since Atari will posisbly soon be null and void...

BIO is where theya re because of the decisions they made. Where is Black Isle, btw? If BIow as so dependent on them why hasn't BIo collapsed without them? BIS did their part as the PUBLISHER and deserve credit for that. Nothing more; nothing less.

They seemed to be able to get you to buy KOTOR2 in its 'incomplete state'. L0LLERZ! :D

Obsidian fanboys would LOVE that! :D Then again, at least LA knows what it is doing and aren't in danger of collapsing. "

Well.. Interplay was the publisher of NWN for like 3-4 years before Atari took over so they obviously had some input in its development.. Feargus always (seemingly) worked closely with BIo as evdienced by how well they get along.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/30/infogram...atari-disposal/ WOWSERS! The best thing for NWN2 and Obsidian is for a new publisher to come in, imo. Atari is sadly a sinking unrideable horse.

"Are you sure of that?" Sure about what? What I wrote? Of course, I am, or otherwise I'd have not wposted it.

Cool. Looks good. Certainly better than anything found in the ES games, and more in line with NWN/KOTOR2/IE/FO. Thankfully, it's not like Oblivion or the silliness with what ME looks to be like dialogue wise...

IIRC, Interplay also wans't played with how long NWN was taking so maybe they were 'threatening' to pull the plug. I'm not sure; but I think Interplay even stopped funding the game and BIO started funding it themselves (prior to getting Atari on board) so that's what the article meant by 'pull the lug'. Obviously, just like Atari now, Interplay was rather desperate for cash so likely was pushing BIo to release NWN right awya hence why Interplay 'bragged' about how much money they got from Atari for it. LOL If only they knew what we know now... R00fles! P.S. This is all from the dark recesses of my memory so I could easily be off base or inaccurate..

The other two are mysteries. :ph34r: P.S. They could be BIO made ones...

Leave my wii alone... or soemthing goopy will... anyways... Sucks to be the original poster! Muahaha! (w00t)

Hmph.. I much prefer mouse focused games. Much more fun than those who force ya to use half the keyboard... As for the video, it looks good. Much like NWN2, you can see specs of the Aurora style shining through - just with way better graphics... The Witcher despite its 'limitation' of only one kind of PC is shaping up to be a rather neato game. :cool:

Eh. I don't blame him. Consideirng the way the people were laughing at him, no wodner he went nuts. And, cats can do crazy things to.

O M G

Word games. I gotta love them. I should start all my posts with ;one might argue' and claim I'm not making the argument; but 'one might argue'. LOLOLOLLIPOP

No. That's a myth. They got rights to some IWD related materials, I believe. certain people ran with that and claimed it meant Obsidian owned IWD. If they *did* own IWD franchise, at the very minimum, you'd see their name mentioned in this upcoming release. P.S. Arkan 4 THA W!

Oh. LOL Kinda figured. :D Anyways, as far as the actual topic, it's real simple. if you find games (or any pasttime) a 'waste of time' then simply don't do it anymore. Game over.

The same reason you reply to me even as you say it's useless to, perhaps?

Aye, he's bigger than a simple moderator.
