Zach Morris Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Forget all you Dark Siders and Light Siders, I'm going neutral. I will get all these great bonuses like Master of Neutral Alignment giving +3 to passiveness. Don't forget the about the information just released on the 3 newest prestige classes. The Neutral Lawnmower The Neutral Gizka Trainer The Neutral Droid Repair Guy But seriously is there going to be any advantage in being neutral or will they save that for if you want more of a challenge?

uncdeez Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 You were the guy who said that you got the new PC Gamer right? What did it say about Baldur's Gate 3 and who's developing it? I'm sorry that this is off-topic but I'm dying to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Morris Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 alright. Here you go buddy. It said that Black Isle Studio cancelled it when Interplay lost their D&D license in 2003. The lead designer was Josh Sawyer who also designed the Icewind Dale games. They said that Atari and Bioware will not confirm if Bioware will be involved in this game. The publisher is Atari and the developer is not mentioned nor is a release date. Not a direct sequel but similar epic scope and large gaming population Not using the Infinity Engine. Going to use new engine (unnamed so far) Atari says your view point will be more immersive than traditional isometric view Plot set in early days of Baldur's Gate Lots of Forgotten Realm monsters, races, sub-races and prestige Working closely with Wizards of the coast *Excited* Plans on polling fans to ensure favorite characters, classes etc. make it in the game Use the D&D 3.5 rules Not be an action/rpg hyprid Not sure if real time or turnbased yet Some non combat quests and "bloodless" solutions to quests Party based gameplay The game will be EPIC Hope that whets your appetite a little.

Zach Morris Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Yeah it sounds a ways away. Because they said the gamemakers weren't sure to build an engine from scratch or license an existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbishop Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 They are going to use the KOTOR engine only whishfull thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Cast in Deepest Night Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Bioware has developed a newer engine than the Dragon Age engine . If Bioware is not developing it then i doubt Bioware would license it out.(Opinion). Suuposedly it is more advanced then the Odyssey engine that power KOTOR or the DA engine. As far as playing a neutral character is concerned, you could play a neutral character but eventually you would have to choose the Light/Dark path anyway. Neutratlity would have provided some interesting options. Too bad we shall never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
