Mirage

How embarrassing, after some quick research you're correct. Sorry 'bout that! I heard about Mitsoda's personal touch, but how much of his creativity remains intact after all those revisions is a mystery to me.

I was about to post something similiar, not concerning the direct references to past games, but rather the quality of storytelling prevalent in their prior titles. I don't just mean Obsidian's titles, sorry, but some of the titles that Chris Avellone has worked on, such as Vampire The Masquerade (I thought he worked on that anyway). The intelligence sparkled in that title. I want something that draws me in and captivates me, I hope AP can do that.

About the "mysterious end location" I hope it isn't Washington DC. That seems really cliche for some reason

This is quite awesome news, I know what I'll be doing on June 1st!

I have concerns about the "vanilla" story as well, perhaps the reviewer didn't get that far into the story and didn't get to the point where it takes off the ground. It is also possible they don't want to reveal the interesting intricacies of the plot/characters to avoid spoiling great storytelling, who knows. I'll put my faith in Obsidian, hopefully it pays off. Also, I fully support Obsidian making it's own IPs (or at least, not making sequels), the concept of AP was a bit risky, but I admire the courage of Obsidian.

I have mine pre-ordered at Gamestop as well. I can't wait.

Oh good, glad I am wrong for the most part. I knew about the vignettes, just the actual ads weren't comparably "sprawled out" across the websites as a background like the ads for DA did. And hopefully, the 24 fans will pick this up as well. I just want AP to do well enough for a sequel. I've already done my part, and pre-ordered it, heh.

I think AP has a lot of potential. An actual modern day, espionage RPG, a unique combination. I'm just not sure it will sell well. I just don't see it being featured on too many gaming sites prominently (if I've missed certain sites, forgive me), or advertised elsewhere, maybe I am just missing those commercials. Also, while I don't think this, I have heard from others that AP looks and sounds generic. I honestly cannot wait for this game, but I wonder if it will do well sales wise for a sequel. I hope I am completely wrong for having these concerns, so what does everyone else think?
