Sammael Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Since my disinterest in KotOR2 is rather well-known, I dare one of the devs to give me a reason to become more active in this community. What's the other project you hired people to work on? ^_^ There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.
Hydrogen Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 They can't say yet. I think they are still in negotiations.
ramza Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I bet Atari is asking them to make BG3... or Interplay asking them to make Fallout3... Anyway Interplay is the most stupid company I have never seen, it appears that they have even lost the rights to the BG DA series... lol "Ooo, squirrels, Boo! I know I saw them!

kumquatq3 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Since my disinterest in KotOR2 is rather well-known, I dare one of the devs to give me a reason to become more active in this community. What's the other project you hired people to work on? ^_^ actually, last I heard, VERY few people are attached to that project as of now. I'd expect it to kick in to full gear near the end of the summer (7-6 months form KOTOR release) EDIT: It is NOT FO3, trust me
Hydrogen Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Doesn't Interplay still own the world and the ruleset for Fallout?
Sammael Posted May 3, 2004 Author Posted May 3, 2004 Oh, I know it's not FO3. I suppose it could be BG3 (non-TBH-related), but I'm hoping for a new IP. And nothing like TORN, please. There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.
kumquatq3 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Oh, I know it's not FO3. Oh, I know you know it's not FO3, talking to everyone else
Gromnir Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 EDIT: It is NOT FO3, trust me I hate inside informants the best part 'bout folks who suggest they gots inside info, is their reactions when confronting them with their own statements weeks or months after the fact, when it becomes evident that they didn't know near as much as they thought they did. is petty? sure it is, but the folks who act like they gots some sorta special knowledge is kinda asking for it, ain't they? HA! Good Fun! p.s. if you wants inside info, just shmooze some developer... those guys is generally pretty excited 'bout their jobs, and they not need much coaxing to spill stuff.

Darque Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Well... to be fair, they did seem to know that Delaware was KotOR2....
Volourn Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 LOL So did 90% of the Known Universe. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Darque Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 LOL So did 90% of the Known Universe. only because the insiders kept going on about it.. and because they are insiders we believe them.
Gorth Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I did think Gore would win the election so... Technically, you're right. He did get the most votes, but thats a story for the WoT forum “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
kumquatq3 Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 ok, lets not start this little arguement now (gore and "insider")
Tigranes Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 It being non-TBH, atari-published BG3 is a possibility. But there's nothing concrete. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Ivan the Terrible Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Here's hoping for something new and original. I hope Obsidian comes up with some great series of it's own rather than purely warming up other company's leftovers. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
Darque Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I agree, something new would be better than a Interplay hand-me-down.
Green Lantern Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 A D&D game by CA and co? Given how I loved the CA designed prologue of IWD2, this possibility would be: FAN-TAS-TIC!!! :D
Tayl Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I would like an original piece of work. It would just be a nice change of pace.
MrBrown Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 I personally would also prefer something completely original. For Obsidian as a company, the decision about their next game will depend alot on how succesful they expect KotOR2 to be, I guess. If KotOR2 is a success, and seen as one as the result of Obsidian's efforts (not simply because it's a sequal to KotOR1), Obsidian might be able to take the risk and go with something original for their next game. Also depends on how much pull Fergie has among publishers.
Darque Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Well, I can understand why they would do hand-me-downs (which KotOR 2 technically is for that matter) if they can put out a few good games using estabilished "names" and settings, that could give them some serious credability. Which is a valuable thing.
Tayl Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 Oh, I agree. While I may want an original game, I also fully understand the reasons for jumping at the chance to make a game like KOTOR2. It actually makes me happy. I mostly enjoyed KOTOR, so I'll probably mostly enjoy KOTOR2. And in the process of playing a game I like I'll probably be helping get a cool original new game out of them. Hopefully it will be a win-win situation.
