Kasabian Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I loved Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale II, they are what got me into playing RPG games so I have fond memories of them both. I only recently discovered that the designer of Icewind Dale/lead designer of the Icewind Dale II has a personal project The Black Hound. Needless to say I am quite excited about this, especially since it will include a couple of characters from my favourite games. The only way this could be any better to me is if it was set in Icewind Dale itself! I really look forward to getting my hands on this, so much so that I had to register just to say it. :D ~R.I.P.

ramza Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Welcome to our community, Kasabian! I have been a fan of TBH ever since it was first announced to be in production (in 2001 I think?). Unfortunately, BIS canned the product which was to be called BG3. Now, our friend Sawyer is trying to use the NWN2 engine to recreate what was supposed to be that game. I don't even remember when he first announced that he was working on this mod. Unfortunately, I am being quite pessimistic on whether it will ever be released. It could take another couple of years or it may never be released at all. I do think it would have been faster if Sawyer had used the original Mystary engine as approximately 60% of the game was already done. Can we have some update please? "Ooo, squirrels, Boo!

Starwars Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 If push comes to shove, he can always enslave Monty, Rob, Anthony, Nathaniel or some other OEI members to help him out.

Killian Kalthorne Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Just as long we don't see a criss-cross of assets. The last thing I want my wizard to face is a damn face hugger.

Dragon Lord Jones Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 well there is a creature in one of the monster manuals (I Believe) that comes close to a face hugger (in appearence anyway). can't remember what it's called though. could be in fiend folio too.

karka Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 SoZ cleared up a large number of technical issues/wishes that I wanted to see in the engine, so you should be hearing/seeing more soon. Does this mean we need SOZ to play TBH?
Killian Kalthorne Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 More than likely. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
J.E. Sawyer Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Unless Atari/Obsidian releases a patch that includes all of the various things that make overland maps possible, yes. twitter tyme
Llyranor Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Sounds like a marketing ploy!!~ (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

H Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 So can we expect some hot overland map action in TBH then? Oh, and could you update the site with another paragraph of text?
ramza Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Well, I admit I wasn't expecting to hear such good news. Keep up the good work, Sawyer! I am definitely looking forward to your mod!

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 So if the rumours are true, we're going to get double helpings of Baldur's Gate 3 - a full game developed by whoever, plus this mod based on the original design. How brilliant is this? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)

How brilliant is this? Now all we need is Bethesda to release a toolset for Fallout 3, and MCA & Co. to use it to make the FO3 they envisioned...

It would be sweet if Bethesda hired Obsidian to do a Fallout Spinoff based on Van Buren, so at least it could see the light of day.
