Interesting (to me anyway)

Looking at the GC stream earlier, I noticed something that a lot of you IWD lovers probably did too. The icons/buttons for the various spells have been recycled from IWD.  

 

Has anyone else found any recycled stuff from previous IE Obsidian games?

I assume those icons are going to be changed, then.

Obsidian owns all the art assets from the Icewind Dale games, I believe. I imagine this means Obsidian often uses said assets as placeholder art during development.

I think Lay On Hands in the video won't be called "Lay On Hands" in PoE proper. Or maybe it will, either way, it doesn't bother me at all.

When Obsidian first formed, Feargus bought back many of the art assets of the IWD series from Interplay.

 

*edit*

 

Whoops. Pidesco beat me to it.

Yeah. I remember the StarCraft II beta had a huge amount of placeholder icons and voices and such being reused from the original StarCraft, so I assume this is the same thing.

I'm not complaining, I think it's actually kinda neat.
