Tasaio Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?cookie%...uct%5Fid=647011 There's a thread over at the Bio boards. Obsidian (JE Sawyer): Please, please restore some of the OC game content before taking our 20-level chars to the planes. It's not too late to make this a TOTSC-style expansion. Edit: By the way, who decided to ship this... ...on September 11?! Edited April 10, 2007 by Tasaio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Meh. The date is irrelevant. 9/11 is a day. A day that many things happen on both good, and bad. Heck, plenty of people have birthdays on that day. You sayin' they shouldn't celebrate just because of what occured in 2001? Come on. Anyways, hopefully this allows us to continue the campaign with our OC character. If not, it'll still be fun. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Sand Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think it is a little late for April Fools.

Tasaio Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think it is a little late for April Fools. Um, what? This isn't a joke, Sand. Check the link to EB games. Or am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 EBgames is irrelevant. Only thing that matters is an Official announcement and so far there hasn't been any.

Tigranes Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 What he means is, Tasaio, that ebgames and other retail outlets have put up pages for unconfirmed or totally nonexistent games before, with fake names and sometimes even fake box art. So until we hear something more, it has to be writteno ff.

Volourn Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) No. They are not irrelevant as if they don't sell it; I don't buy it. R00fles! "So until we hear something more, it has to be writteno ff." Nah. Everyone knbows a NWN2 expansion is coming. It's only a matter of time. This isn't like some random game generator.

Dark_Raven Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Didn't they put up fake Fallout 3 and Baldur's Gate 3 box art before? I recall seeing it. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I don't think it's a hoax. Like Vol, I'm sure there will be an expansion. Like Tigranes, I'm not going to think too much of it until there is an official announcement.

Tigranes Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yes they did. Oftentimes they do it in 'anticipation', and even have buttons for preorder, though I don't know what happens if youa ctually preorder and the game never is produced or announced. Anyway as Volo says a NWN2 expansion is extremely likely sooner or later, and it might well bear the name Legacy of the Gith- but it may not. Once again, we wait. Don't worry Tasaio, at least now we can have a nice speculation about Gith in an xpack.

Maria Caliban Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Getting back money after you've preordered is a pain in the ass. Even if the game never ships. "When is this out.

Oerwinde Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well a couple weeks ago MCA said to look for news in a couple weeks. Its possible that EB knows something we don't.

Cantousent Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 They probably do, Oerwinde. I'm not putting down eb games. I'm just saying that they had the exact same information up for BG3 and that didn't turn out. It's not that I don't want to see the game. I do. I just want to see an official announcement.

SteveThaiBinh Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Rob McGinnis posted this over at the NWN2 forums: That posting by EBGames is a mistake. There have been no announcements of an expansion. Plus, Legacy of Gith was a working title for NWN2, I believe. I agree that given what's been said, an official announcement on an expansion pack is likely to come soon, but this isn't it. Legacy of the Gith would be an interesting title, though - even if it was formerly used for NWN2 itself. I guess it refers to the silver sword, and the end of NWN2 did try to focus our attention on the fate of the sword. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

They did talk a lot about the fate of Gith near the end too, so if the expansion has planeswalking and such, likely Gith would be a part of it and the title would still fit.

Maria Caliban Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 If they do an expansion pack based on the multiverse, I'm going to feel bad for those poor bastards at Rogue Dao. "When is this out.

Sand Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Why? Planescape is based on the baseline Dungeons and Dragons cosmology, which the Forgotten Realms do not use. The Forgotten Realms uses its own unique cosmology which have some similarities but also some stark differences as well.
