Volourn

"Calling BG3 people will think it's the contuinuation of the orignal series." And? SO/ Why the heck not? I have alwasy PROVEN that the Bhaalspawn Saga can bbe continued.. You just need imagination which all FANTASY stories require you have anyway.

"Obs has a black mark on their name with K2 being released some what unfinished." Really? The million + copies sold argue otherwise. P.S. yes, the copies *do* speak. "Oh, Bioware didn't make it big til their fourth game, Volourn." Nah. It was BG which was their second released game if IIRC that got them on their way.

"Hades Jr" I hope that isn't your best flame. I know ya can do better. P.S. BG is dead. The creators even said so, and so did 99.9% of all purchasers. .1% are just playing with its dead corpse.

Ok. I'll make a series called the 'Bhaalspawn Saga', and get Atari to publish it. Happy now? It's not BG anymore! Hahahahahahaha!!! P.S. Youa re half way to admitting Bg is dead! MUAHAHAHA!!

People tend to forget that BIo wasn't always a jauggernaut.. They earned that the old fashion hardway... just like Obsidian will have to. Mind you, they were given an easier oppurtunity to do it than BIO was when they first broke in simply because Obsidian's founders once worked for failed company in the past. P.S. Some BIS games are in my top 5 faves so don't call me a BIS/Obsidian Hater, please. " "don't. Two games under their belt may not do it. A couple more that are succesful would." It took BIo two games to hit it big. Why can't Obsidian do the same when they were giftwrapped guaranteed million copies sellers? Espicially since it seesm Obsidian seems to expanding at a fast pace.

It wouldn't have changed its fundamental weaknesses nor made worse its strengths... The quality would ahve remained the same. It *might* have been less buggy; but I have my doubts on that...

"the bright side, "Despite some of the worst review scores for a mainstream game released in 2005, VUGames sent out a press release announcing that 50 Cent: Bulletproof has now sold over 1 million units in the US." Here's a thought: Reviewers aren't always right. LOL :D

"But at the same time, using an existing and well plotted storyline could handicap a new writer, especially if they weren't a part of the original storyline. IMO, that same writer could produce a much more original story without constraints if they make a brand new storyline, rather than trying to just add on to an existing one." Maybe. But, it can go either way. It be up to the writer in question to get the job done.

"Something that should have happened to K2, but a certain company said release it now." Hialriously enough, KOTOR2 came out about the time it was originally scheduled to come out - around Christmas time. R00fles! :D

"Fans aren't important? I'm sure game companies would say otherwise or they wouldn't be selling anything." Those are customers. Not neccessarily the same though they often overlap. Afterall, the Codex LOATHE Bioware and are most definitely not BIO fans; but they most assuredly are BIO customers as they lap up the next game BIO releases to loathe it. And, oh, games don't sale AT ALL unless the devloper/publsiher offers soemthing the customers want to buy so, in essence, it's all up to the companies involved. theya re the important ones. "It can, but does that necessarily mean it's a good idea to do it?" Sure, it is. There's more than afew creative ways to make a continuation of the Bhaalspawn storyline, and you can do it with or without the original PC. ie. If the PC decided to remain mortal, a replacement as Lord of Murder takes his/her place and does something "bad" akin to what Bhaal did. ie. Not all Bhaalspawn were destroyed. Some could have taken seats of power for their own, and the PC could be one of them or perhaps runs amok of the Bhaalspawn. ie. The original PC literally has their own "Bhaalspawn" who now has a legacy of their own to make. The list goes on. These are very general, and with proper development could be solid stories based on the events of the Bhaalspawn Saga yet still be open enough for a whole new game. "Much like, for instance, the Star Wars movies. GL can make more movies after the events of Return of the Jedi and continue the saga, but would that really make sense?" Sure, why not? Seems to work for the SW novels. Could focus on Luke's attempts to restartthe Jedi Council. Or that new dominating race trying to conquer the galaxy that's refeered to in the pnp rules (and probably infleunced by the novels). Tons of stuff that cna be done. The (lack of) quality of the writing, characters, and such would mark it as good or bad not the basic plotline/storyline anyways. "I rather see a brand new original storyline set in the city of Baldur's Gate." Bg series, inspite of the name, had little to do with BG. They likely went with a safe name as, afterall, calling it the Bhaalspawn Saga would kind of ruin it the first's major twist. LOL And, oh, prequels tend to be boring. SW notwithstanding.

"Now explain that cowardice part in your post, I'm not sure I get that." Simple. Instead of running away from the problems of a multi cultural Kanada they should be working with fellow Kanadians to work out differences. Instead, Seperatists want to take their bagagge and split just ebcause the country isn't perfect. Running away from your problems is *always* the cowardly way.

Fans simply aren't important enough to count. Period. BG series is dead. The handful of people who still play it (semi) regualrly are not even a blip on the radar. Dead as a doornail. And, oh, BG series and the Bhaalspawn Saga cna both continued. Only the unimaginative think otherwise.

"Back on topic, nothing he said in that leads me to believe the game will be easy." As long as it's more challenging than KOTOR2 as it would show an improvement. Not that being harder than KOTOR2 is any challenge for a developer. Hehehe. P.S. The werewolf was not hard. I only died once because , by golly, I thought it was gonna be killable the 'ol natural way the first time. otherwise it's easy to avoid him long enough to escape (or kill him).

What d umb, lazy, and pathetic decision by the E3 Masters. Why can't why we geeky ugly freaks of nature have both are precious games and are precious women in the same palce at the same time? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Meh. P.S. Not sexist, because I say have overrated hunky (puke) men out there for the geeky ugly freaky girls so it's all fair.

1. BG2:SOA 2. BG1 3. TOB 4. PST 5. IWD 6. BG1:TOTSC The other two don't deserve to be on the list.

Besides having a handful of fans still playing/modding is nothing to brag about. Even TOEE has that many. Hah!

"If not feeling a part of the country is not a good reason to want out, what is a good reason?" That's all well and good; but the problem I have with bigoted Seperatists they wanna leave the country to run away from their responsibilties yet keep all their rights as Kanadians. I say no way. If you leave the country, you are just another neighbour... a neighbour I have no respect for because of your cowardice.

Llyr speaks from experience.

Short? For an interview it was decent length consideirng it's two pages with reasonably sized replies. Did you expect an essay? LOL :D The new PrC is Warlock Slayer. Or at least it should be.

He had decent intellogence, and wisdom. He also was supposedly good. You shouldn't be attacking people just because they don't do what you want. LOL Overall, though, I am one of those who like 'time limits' as long as they make sense in context of the quest.

As for the Minsc situation, I like that it is on a timer of sorts. What i don't appreciate is Minsc going even more psycho and needlessly attacking you. It be ok if he simply elft the party; but him attacking 5 other party members is stupid on so many levels. What a dumbo design.

With all the interviews around, I can't be 100% sure this is brand new; but it's certainly new to me and I tend to follow thes elike a hawk so... http://www.actiontrip.com/previews/neverwi...ights2_i2.phtml Good stuff here. Unlike other interviews, I can't find one negative about the game in this interview. Good stuff.

Try the new link and follow the instructions... LOL :D

Our votes might not matter!: http://ca.fullcoverage.yahoo.com/fc/Breaki..._stories_1.html Try the following topic: "Party with the most seats doesn't necessarily form government" Sure, it's unlikely to happen to but this is for fellow Kanandians who looked down upon the Amerikans because the one who didn't get the 'most votes' won the election 2 elections ago. Anyways, time to see how the Conservatives behave in power.

"For the most part, this statement is illogical and flawed beyond belief." How is it illogical? Bioware still supports NWN with patches, and official content. When was the last time they did anything for BG series? Sure, you can point to the mere handful of player still foolinga round with BG's corpse; but that's nothing compared to the thousands still playing NWN. Not to mention the coming of NWN2 which will only enhance the Greatest Game Series ever's legacy for many years to come. LONG LIVE NWN AND AURORA!!!
