And why New Vegas is using the rotting corpse of Gamebryo, instead of the fresh body of Onyx . Most probably because they could reuse the assets and the gameplay would remain similar (instead of needing to redesign it from scratch). Also, from what it looks like, Onyx is more suited to a top-down view, but that may just be because Dungeon Siege III has been designed like that. EDIT : But seriously, I'm really really impressed. The only thing that could be criticized are the ground textures, but there's still more than enough time to optimize the engine enough to fix them, and even with that blurry textures it still looks excellent.

THOSE ARE GOOD LOOKING SCREENSHOTS. SERIOUSLY. WHY DIDN'T YOU RELEASE THEM BEFORE OBSDIZ?!

The previewer slipped and called it Dragon Age 3 at the end. Funny.

Didn't they put Gromnir in Throne of Bhaal?

"War. War never changes," echos the familiar, haunting Ron Perlman-narrated statement made popular through all Fallouts. It's a very poignant moment for Fallout 3 veterans though, when picking this up for the first time; I lolled. ****ty preview.

Some interesting stuff there. And did I hear it right or Feargus promised us more quest than in Fallout 3 in New Vegas?

Yes. However 3.0 edition or 4.0 edition? 3.5, obviously. That's what they used for NWN2 after all.

I.. don't think I really care much about this.

I wanted to paint you in a better light man. You know, eating misery means that there is less misery around the world. You were actually a good guy in disguise! And now you ruined that and showed your true colors.

Purkake is far beyond that stage Tale. At this point he just eats misery and vomits snark. Much snark.

His portfolio seems to suggest that this will indeed be a humble, almost-indie project. Maybe we'll see something that will go directly on PSN/XLIVE/Steam without a publisher?

How dare you? It's the national pastime 'round these parts YOU'RE BRIBED!!!11! STOP IT!!

to be honest I liked The Witcher a lot more than I did DA: O and I guess I wasn't alone in this, judging by the developer's actions. but it won't save Bio from the humiliation that will certainly follow when The Witcher 2 hits the shelves. Now let's not kid ourselves though, you may prefer The Witcher 2 to Dragon Age 2 but Dragon Age 2 will sell a tons more than The Witcher 2 and likely will have a better critical reception.

It's a prequel to HOMM V

Speculating is fun though Where did you get the idea/hint that 3rd project is smallish one? They were actually talking about that since Alpha Protocol was still being worked on, and Feargus described it as a 'private internal project' that he can't wait to show, so that to me suggested the fact that it was actually quite well ahead as far as development goes, not something that's started recently and that needs a manpower injection. I may be completely wrong though, I certainly never imagined Obsidian, of all developers, would end up doing the sequel to Dungeon Siege II.

I would presume some of the FNV team will move on to the 3rd project Feargus mentioned earlier since it only has a half team working on it? and some will move on to pre-production on some future game or possibly FNV dlcs. Or maybe they use 2 project directors on one of their titles I don't know, it is my understanding that they've been working on that third project for some time and that it's a smaller and humbler project than the other twos. I may be completely wrong, mind you, we're really stumbling in the dark while speculating.

It

Wait, Chris Avellone is a project director? On what?

Aehm. What?

Great job Bioware! Ground textures as awful as ever! EDIT : The 'tracking your personality' bit is interesting though.

It was. I have difficulties getting excited about a CG trailer though.

I liked the fact that they showed glimpses of the story (though it also made it look like they've already decided how it will go and be much more linear.. of course it won't be like that, right Bioware?), but it looked too generic. And somehow the Qunari now are beasts, apparently. I mean, I like the new look, but why is it necessary to make that Qunari warrior act like he was a demon? Meh.

No Mass Effect one mention though.

Exactly. For now we've only seen a couple of screenshots, taken from sub-optimal camera angles too. A little underwhelming to be honest.

I think we've had this rumor or a variation of it before every single gaming event ever since ME1 came out. Still, would be neat if it happened, I could mostly retire the 'screamer', as it's only used for ME games... I know Nep, but I found it funny how for some reason, Buck from GameBanshee decided to give credit to this rumor and publish it on the news.
