Icewind Dale III incoming?

 

Of particular note is my nearly 30-minute Q&A with Feargus. Would you like to know exactly what Project Virginia is? Do you want the very first details about Obsidian's secret "Defiance" project? Perhaps you're interested in learning about yet another project they've taken on that utilizes a license that they simply "could not turn down"? Or maybe you'd just like to know what the future holds for the Icewind Dale series?

HOLY SHI~ I can't believe it... this couldn't get any better :* I was secretly hoping for a D&D game, but Icewind Dale?!

It ain't a true IWD it it ain't have painted backgrounds.

Can you say, IWD III in Onyx?

 

That said, I think it's much more probable the new project is just wheel of time.

Buck is specifically talking about the Icewind Dale franchise. And we know about the WOT game for a long time so it wouldn't make sense for him to make a secret out of it.

he said nothing to confirm it was about IWD at all, maybe Project Virginia is WoT and IWD3 is in the future plans.

It's a case of pop eating itself, CRPGs aped pen and paper now pen and paper apes video games. It uses a 'streamlined' (we all know what that means) system resembling one part MMORPG, one part part trading-card game. The iconic classes are FUBAR'd so they are now 'cool' for the attention-deficit crowd.

 

It's horrible.

Veeeery skeptical about this one. true OFP is a military simulator. I'm afraid Codemasters is trying to copy the latest CoD games.

They are, actually. They tried with Dragon Rising, but futzed it up (must be Lenton's fault). Funny though, looking through the database for DR, I'm seeing all kinds of weapons and vehicles and troop types that weren't in the game - stuff like Humvees with TOWs, mortars and mortar spotters, etc.

What's the last good Codemasters game anyway? I don't remember one in the last decade ...

Only good purely Codemasters game I have played is Colin McRae Rally 2..

 

Severance is also great, but codemasters only published it.

CoD but with more realism. Basically.

Rod Cousin's is the man you'd be looking for, but hey OFP should have be canned many years before it was released.
