Bioware's back-to-basics approach is rtwp + isometric + party based. A glimmer of hope in rtwp dark future.

I though he was apart of the Waylanders team still or did he quit that too?

How long until the first kickstarter announcement video "We are the guys who gave you these games. But now we need your help!"

It will like be Fig like Summerfall studios and ex-Bioware Gaider, not Kickstarter

Fig because of unions, I think but not sure how much Summerfall earned from Fig vs Kickstarter

I though he was apart of the Waylanders team still or did he quit that too?

He quit a long time ago and left Emily Buck in charge even though he has apparently never worked with her on a project

They still advertise him on Steam page however

A kickstarter during corona time will be fail for sure.

I mean PF WOR KS was also on corona time. I guess it was early lockdown so the impact wasn't as big
But that was a sequel to an RPG that had been as successful as an isometric partybased RPG can hope to be.

Those old farts probably consider themselves too profound and artistically elevated to make an RPG. They will need 3d acting and full VO for their turd.

Intriguing
Beautiful worlds that challenge the mind and inspire the imagination.

Worth Watching
Compelling experiences for both players and viewers alike.

Sounds like a Ubisoft model with a coat of Larian than a BioWare successor.

That's logical behaviour for everyone with survival:1 and intelligence:1. That should be the case. But how do you explain that all big game publishers and money wasters like GTA Online and similar cancers have record high profits during this Fake Plague?

People stay inside, they have to fill the gaping void at the center of their existence with something other than thinking or family, they pay for GTA. I'm not sure where the big mystery is.

I love this 3 icon system! It's simple, yet bold. Visually powerful, yet minimal and easy to digest. This is definitely a studio run by prestigious gentlemen who wear turtlenecks.

It has taken Tim Cain triangles to heart

Not much interest in anything ex-Bioware developers make, everything they touch turns to shit
