Forgotten Realms

[marcellius]

hi,

 

newbie here =)

have been playing FR related RPG games since Baldur's GateI +II, IWD, NWN, NWN2;

 

I was thinking how do OE or even Bioware start projects with FR related games? At the moment I see that BG, IWD and NWN is very successful; I understand that the fantasy world in the D&D community is huge and it is impossible to put everything into electronic gaming; but it seems that not many of FR or D&D stories are being put into the e-gaming industry; or am I asking too much, it's already a lot ?

FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

You have a problem?

I'm not sure I understand your question, but as far as I know neither Obsidian nor Bioware is working on any D&D title. Though both companies probably have some unannounced projects...

Thanks for the reply, my question was a little unclear; Was just thinking if anymore FR games will be releasing since now we have Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter stories already; Was hoping there is more since all these games has been proven successful.

Bioware is focusing entirely on their own sword'n sorcery IP atm, so I doubt we'll ever see more Forgotten Realms from them. Obsidian's big FR-game was.. IS, NWN2. Obsidian has announced they'll do a Wheel of Time CRPG for Red Eagle next, so you probably won't see any FR-stuff from OE in a while either. If ever.

 

Let's hope WoT will give us the next soulful "Kuldahar-tune" crpg-kick that we crave..

What is this "e-gaming" and where could I partake in this fine sport?

Yea, I think so too =(

but anyway, the crpgs they are producing are excellent~ so I guess that suffice for the moment =)

It'll probably be a while before they make another D&D game due to the Hasbro lawsuit against Atari over D&D. Considering how 4th edition was basically streamlined for an MMORPG, it won't be long before they develop one after the lawsuit is settled.

Ah...hadn't heard about the lawsuit. I had been kinda surprised that a 4E game hadn't been announced already (from some publisher or another) and was wondering why...
