It's an educated guess, based on the fact that it's unlikely that Larian would ceremoniously announce a date after six months only to unveil another cinematic trailer.

Reasonable, although they might just post Development Update 2. There's only been one such update, and the teaser does look suspiciously like a trailer for a documentary styled video.

Yeah, I'm sure there'll be one of those too.

we have waited for an announcement for what type of combat the game will have (real time, or turn-based) for longer than most games are are in production. Still, nothing. Never seen anything like it. Something is odd about this whole thing.

Larian = odd/awkward. The bizarre interviews with idiots. Look at the odd games they make. The characterizations and the "writing" (if you wanna call it that). Also, look at that forum header screencap above: there is nothing aesthetic about it. In fact, it looks ridiculous -- like something I'd post on my blog. :lol::lol:

yeah, my expectations are pretty low. I have not really enjoyed any of larians games, they are not ever really my thing. Too much silliness. Sometimes when I have very low expectations I end up being happier w/ the results. Actually this usually seems to be the case, so we shall see. I am probably jinxing this now however by being too 'aware' of the phenomena.

Cheap, quirky and puerile -- that's Larian. And monstrous/grotesque exaggerations are rampant. Their writing has been unreadable so far. BG had some silliness but it also managed srs Realmslore.

And yeah, it's best to have abysally low expectations and be negative Nancy; that way anything they don't mangle will be a pleasant surprise.

Their writing is pretty good in Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity,it has plenty of dark in it.

There is Larian before D:OS and after D:OS, before their writing had some silliness but they didn't go full tard with it. I dunno if there was a change on the writing team or if it is a misguided attempt of being silly for LoLs on the D:OS games. I think this BG game will be better written than the D:OS games because of the setting as they wont go full tard with it as they did with the D:OS games and the trailer is a clue they are going for some kinda grim dark tone with it. The gameplay however is where I think the codex will be truly butthurt about.
