September 5, 200619 yr This question is for any Obsidian employees who worked at Black Isle and either helped create Lionheart: LotC or are in the know regarding its future. My question is, any chance on a sequel to this game? Though the game had its faults, the setting was alot of fun. It would really be too bad if we never heard from this game again. It had some things going for it, and with a little refinement it could be a big hit. Ooze
September 5, 200619 yr i'd say no chance, though you never know. interplay owns the rights and since they all but kicked the bucket, i doubt they'll make a new one. does beth own the rights to special, too? cause if they do, they could potentially make a new, lionheartish game.
September 5, 200619 yr Wow.. I think I've just witnessed a rare creature which we all thought were extinct: a Lionheart fan! It's.. so.. beautiful.. :'( Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
September 5, 200619 yr DIE LIONHEART FAN! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *Hades opens fire with his alien blaster disintergrating GreyOoze*

September 5, 200619 yr Hey, the guy has a point. The setting for Lionheart was the game's saving grace and could be used in a potentially awesome game if someone was willing to work on it. In fact, the worst thing about Lionheart was the waste of a perfectly good setting. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

September 5, 200619 yr Author Exactly my point, pidesco. The setting was really good, and it would be a shame to see such a well designed and fleshed out gameworld go to waste. There was enough to the game to at least lend consideration to a sequel. Any idea who owns the rights to it? It used the special system, and though I've no clue who owns the rights to that, it would be nice to keep that alive as well. I realize Mr. Urquhart isn't going to pop in here and make any earth shattering announcements. I just thought I'd mention it and see what others think. Ooze
September 5, 200619 yr Well, Lionheart wasn't exactly a BIS game in the first place. And Iply has the rights to SPECIAL which they have leased, or whatever, to Beth. Edited September 5, 200619 yr by kumquatq3
September 5, 200619 yr Well, Lionheart wasn't exactly a BIS game in the first place. And Iply has the rights to SPECIAL which they have leased, or whatever, to Beth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> so beth owns the rights to do 3 fallout games but iply owns the rights for special?

I really enjoyed the setting .. although in all fairness it's actually an okay fun game in Mulityplayer! (at least imho) Fortune favors the bald.

They sold Beth the ability to make FO3 and future sequels, iirc. With this sale came the right to use SPECIAL, one way or another. Iply still owns the FO property and SPECIAL.
September 5, 200619 yr Lionheart had potential, it had a good setting and story. But failed. It was an ok game. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

September 6, 200619 yr Lionheart was fun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought you didn't like it. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
September 6, 200619 yr I thought you ranted it sucked. Must have been someone else. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
September 6, 200619 yr Probably Hades. (w00t) Lionheart gets a gold star from me for one reason... Jennifer Hale (w00t)
September 10, 200619 yr I liked the setting. It needed alot more dialog and less combat. Better combat AI would have been good too. The business of doing altered history was fun. In Lionheart's case it was alot alot of history! I never finished the story. Maybe I should try again. That's the kind of game that Obsidian could really make into a masterpiece.

September 10, 200619 yr Bug free and with a complete ending to boot. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
September 10, 200619 yr My problems with Lionheart that it was real time and the combat sucked for it. If they kept the SPECIAL rules turn based it would have been a lot better. Also they tried to cram too many historical figures in one place, Barcelona. I do agree that the concept itself was sound but the execution could have been better.
September 10, 200619 yr It being real-time wasn't the problem, the battle model and the fact that their idea of difficulty was to just chuck more fast enemies at you, were the problems. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

September 10, 200619 yr This game is why I'm really anticipating the real-time adaptation of SPECIAL by Bethesda when they release FO3. Should be pretty innovative. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
