Darque Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Darque After all this time BG still has new mods coming out. People with new ideas and such, keep the game alive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is awesome
Volourn Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 "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!!! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Judge Hades Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 A game is only as alive as its developer and publisher gives it support.
Deraldin Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 BG series is dead. Dead, dead, dead. Why are you people playing with a corpse? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because Return to Windspear still hasn't come out yet.
GhostofAnakin Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 I must have missed all these user made mods that supposedly add game play to the BG series. The only ones I've downloaded and played include stuff like skipping Irenicus' dungeon, and a more balanced end battle. I haven't seen (or tried) any that add extra content or actually change the game.

Judge Hades Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) The only major BG mod I played was Dark Side of the Sword Coast. It was... good in it s day and quite ambitious. I still wouldn't mind seeing a NWN module based on the Baldur's Games or Icewind Dale. Have a party of yourself and 5 NPCs on a full dungeon romp could be fun. Edited January 24, 2006 by Judge Hades
alanschu Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 One thing that helps a game's replayability is the mods one can download. The various Mods for KotOR 1, KotOR 2, and Neverwinter Nights have greatly extended thier lifespan. Hell, if NWN 2 has the lifespan of NWN 1 then the future looks great indeed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was thinking, and I think it's a bit of a misnomer to call this "replayability." It's certainly longevity, but you're experiencing different stories </nitpick>

jaguars4ever Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Define "all the way through." In the 6 years or so BG2 has been out, I've definitely started close to 100 games, but you've caught me, I probably only finished half to a third of them all the way to the final cutscene. Usually I'd get this great idea for a new character and... Well, you get the picture. Yes, I have too much time on my hands. Thanks for pointing that out! LOL! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm done had enough of this! ^_^

Jorian Drake Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 If I'm right now Atari has the rights for BG, true? Any news on a possible BG3?

CoM_Solaufein Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 A game is only as alive as its developer and publisher gives it support. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The game is alive provided that fans make mods to bring new content or create fix packs to correct bugs.

Judge Hades Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I only count official support as being alive. Continual fan made mods and upgrades on a game means that the game is on life support.

Continual fan made mods and upgrades on a game means that the game is on life support. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My good man, with the fans still showing support, it is alive and well. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Volourn Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Besides having a handful of fans still playing/modding is nothing to brag about. Even TOEE has that many. Hah! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Gabrielle Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 If I'm right now Atari has the rights for BG, true? Any news on a possible BG3? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Let's hope not. It ended in Throne of Bhaal and we don't need another.
GhostofAnakin Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Let's hope not. It ended in Throne of Bhaal and we don't need another. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We don't need a continuation of the Bhaalspawn saga. But I think we do need another BG.

Gabrielle Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Nope. Fans are not official support. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who cares?? Support is support. Damn talking to you is like talking to a wall at times.
