not sure if it'll happen either.

WanderingWind said:Oh, boy. Can I run a three-woman train on myself in this game, thus fulfilling my creepily-exposed sexual fantasies?

What you want is this NWN2 mod:Salazar said:Yes, motherfucker. Give me a plastic lute peripheral and let me roam the taverns.

I am not sure how to feel about this. I liked Jordan's World Building, but his writing was less than impressive (really shitty) after the first 3 books. The guy they got to replace him is not that impressive either.
On the other hand, OBSIDIAN!!!!!!
Xater said:I played that game. It was more an FPS and was developed by Legend.
More Fun To Compute said:So, the important question is which Bioware game is this going to be a copy of? Dragon Age? They haven't done Jade Empire yet.
Ledsen said:Yeah the WoT books are really horribly written. There's no reason the game couldn't be good though, since the world is kind of interesting. In any case I'd much prefer a book based on the (in every way superior IMO) Memory, Sorrow & Thorn series, or maybe the Death Gate Cycle (which has an interesting and slightly different take on the classic fantasy world but sadly falls apart after 3-4 books).
Manmademan said:I guess this is workable- cut a decent chunk of the filler out and you'd have a fairly good game or two.

That's true.thefil said:They could just toss you in the world and give you your own, less grandiose story to play out. There's so much lore there and room for story parallel to that of the books.

I would also like to make one additional clarification. We are not licensing our WOT development rights and stepping back from the process of building these video games. Quite to the contrary, Red Eagle Games will have an internal development team of its own. However, rather than staffing up a 200 person studio from scratch, we decided some time ago that for our first games it would be far more prudent to hire a small in-house team (e.g. positions such as Art Director, Game Designer, Story Writer, Software Architect, Quality Assurance Director, etc.) and rely on a third party developer to provide the majority of developers and their associated overhead and infrastructure. In this way, we will be providing technical and creative direction to our external developer.
duckroll said:I love Obsidian because they have many key staff who were from Black Isle Studios, and they have great ideas, awesome writing abilities, and generally know how to design interesting RPG systems and so on. On the other hand, there is no indication at all the Black Isles or Obsidian are in any way a good or even decent developer when it comes to just raw development. Their games have been bug-ridden at release, engines are not optimized, and there are always delays after delays. If a developer thinks it is a good idea to partner with Obsidian as a contracted developer, while creating all the ideas and design internally... they're not going to be in business for very long I fear!
duckroll said:It basically means that Red Eagle Games is designing the game, not Obsidian. Obsidian will most likely not be writing, designing or directing the game creation process. Instead they are being hired to develop the game, build an engine, and build all the assets based on the direction of Red Eagle Games. I don't see why any Obsidian fan will be happy with an arrangement where the creative direction is not in the hands of Obsidian at all.

robjoh said:It could also mean that they put Obsidian to do one game meanwhile they are designing number two.
I personaly don't give a crap about who is developing the game as long as it is good when it is done.

gregor7777 said:So this will be like a Mistwalker situation, with Red Eagle being Mistwalker and Obsidian being Artoon?
This is going to be a disaster, mark my words.
duckroll said:Unless you started playing Neverwinter Nights 2 after you installed Mask of the Betrayer, I will say you are either lying, or you have no quality standards whatsoever when it comes to games. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. When NWN2 originally launched, there wasn't even an overhead camera view. The controls were completely wretched, and the engine was balls. Low unplayable framerates on a system which DID meet the minimum requirements. It's not blown out of proportion because it's true.
