I just finished Torment again (its 4am, dear god) and found myself nearly in tears.
Wow, some of the plotting and writing in that game is fantastic. But then, I'm more than likely just preaching to the choir in these forums with comments like that anyhow.
In any case, I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) that Chris Avellone was the lead on Torment, as well as KoToR II of course.
The fact that Chris headed the team for KoToR II, along with Obsidian's previous comments with regard to internal rotation etc, implies that his team will be working the mystery third project (or, as the case may be, *are* working it).
I don't know about everyone else, but the prospect of a new game with strong involvement by Chris and his team turns me on.
Even more so, potentially, than the other games, because this one might not be restricted to a single year development time and/or probably won't be tied to a company which is slowly but surely sinking like the Titanic. Not, uh, that I'm referring to specific incidents here.
Mind you, I'm also eager to see what NWN2 turns out to be like. It could, after all, impress me even more than the two afore-mentioned titles! It'd have to work pretty damned hard to outstrip Torment for me, but you never know. The future, it is exciting indeed!
I don't suppose anyone wants to raise their hands as being involved with Jersey? Y
