Cyseal Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 It says that release date is soon, probably 2016 release. What do you think about it ? I'm quite satisfied that this RPG genre is revied with POE and now continued with Siege of dragonspear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elerond Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Overhaul Games/Beamdog has yet to show that they can write quality RPGs. So I am quite skeptic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigranes Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Yep. Everything they've done so far is poor quality cashgrab that didn't really need to exist, so it remains unknown whether they can create a new quality game. That said, it's on an Infinity Engine base, so unless they screw up spectacularly it should be fun enough. 1 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenixp Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) I do believe it's a terrible idea to create the game with a direct connection to the story of the originals. It'll just make people draw even more direct comparison between style, tone and writing quality to the original games and that's pretty much a death sentence for the Beamdog's game. But oh well, we'll see. Edited December 13, 2015 by Fenixp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyseal Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm too subjective for it because it's been 15 since BG2 and it seems as yesterday. I think story will be brand new with maybe some cameos from original game. They have written Neera and Raasad well so I like the writing style. I think that original Minsc's and Irenicus's voice actors are also in the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadly_Nightshade Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'll be getting it but then I know one of the digital and concept artists there and want to support her so I'll be doing it for that reason as much as anything else. 1 "Geez.

Nonek Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) I was under the impression that the young lady was of similar divine heritage to Charname, but the by-blow of another deity, and that she was in Mr Avellone's words "doing a better job of it than the protagonist." Edit: I may be mistaken however, as I was not paying too much attention when I heard or read that from wherever. Edited December 14, 2015 by Nonek Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!

rjshae Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Basing a game on Dragonspear Castle is not promising in my book. The Hordes of Dragonspear module was one of the gawd awful releases that TSR ever put out. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Gromnir Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Basing a game on Dragonspear Castle is not promising in my book. The Hordes of Dragonspear module was one of the gawd awful releases that TSR ever put out. to be fair, beamdog is using the setting rather than the module, yes? is a bit like hating movies set in chicago 'cause you saw red heat and were justifiably disappointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsWRhNZNFzw unlike tim cain, beam dog is NOT trying to recreate old d&d pnp modules... thank goodness. am still not certain why folks at troika failed to talk cain away from that blunder... as well as his flamboyant pirate. *shrug* HA!

ManifestedISO Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Huh, I missed out on the Dragonspear module. At the time we were busy with Waterdeep, Dragonlance, even Kara-tur. And secretly MERP, sometimes GURPS. Also jumping the Ford Fairmont wagon over snow-covered parking blocks after seeing Die Hard in the theater. All Stop. On Screen.

Humanoid Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I picked up a multipack Red Heat/Raw Deal/Total Recall on Blu-ray for $10 or so. Not sure why because it was a few years ago and I haven't watched the discs yet. Aside (since it came up in the FO4 thread), it seems there are way more movies I recognise set in Chicago than in Boston. Still couldn't name a single landmark there though, I'd have them at similar status in a "name a random US city" contest.

Amentep Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Now I'm confused, as far as I can tell they're streaming the dev's playing it prior to its release.

Cyseal Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Who would watch some stream instead of playing the game of the year on the release? I mean... I agree. Firaxis should postpone the release of XCOM2 becasue of SoD livestream. It's showing new Bladur's gate content and story after 15 years.
