[Musaab]

I would have seen those tweets myself, had I not been blocked by him for calling him an SJW during the whole Baldur's Gate tranny episode.

Testers Wanted

Do you love testing things? Do you love playing games? Well, have I got a wheelhouse for you.

We’re currently looking for adventurers, warriors, rogues, wizards, druids, clerics, rangers, monks and shamans who are interested in helping us test our next game. We need testers on desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux) and tablet (iOS and Android) to help us make sure that this is our best release yet.

If you're interested in signing up to become a beta tester, please head over to this post on our forums to get started. You'll be asked to fill out a form and, if selected, you'll need to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you can begin testing.

Once testing begins you'll be invited to our super secret beta test forums and there you'll receive instructions as to how to get started.

We can't reveal the name of the game just yet, but the announcement is coming soon!

 

[pippin]

the cleric class

Wasn't it removed from your options because of TNO's personal story?

 

[Saxon1974]

So A.Scott still works there or not?

 

[santino27]

So A.Scott still works there or not?

As far as I know, no, although I think she still has a dev tag for forum shitposts.

Tablet mwhahah
Let's se how many trannies they can put in Planescape EE, has to be thousands

 

[ArchAngel]

I would think IWD2EE is more likely but who knows. Maybe they are bringing us NWN1 EE :D

No

?

 

[purpleblob]

I'm hoping it's IWD2. Please not PS:T or NWN1... I want NWN: EE but not from Beamdog. And dear God, please don't let Beamdog touch PS:T. It's already bad enough they've tainted BG series with their shit writing.

 

[Trodat]

So I guess they are still using the IE because tablets?

 

[Infinitron]

I don't think this is going to be an Enhanced Edition of anything. You don't hire David Gaider to make Enhanced Editions.

 

[pippin]

I wonder if they could release an Infinity Engine Construction Kit or something to that effect. With FRUA, NWN's toolset and that, the circle would be more or less complete.

 

[Morality Games]

The best case scenario would be Neverwinter Nights 3, but as likely as not they're just making a new D&D 5E Baldur's Gate-a-be.

 

[Tigranes]

I don't think this is going to be an Enhanced Edition of anything. You don't hire David Gaider to make Enhanced Editions.

And thank god, it makes it much easier to ignore their existence altogether.

[Xeon]

Man, whatever it is I hope it turns out great.

DG worked on BGs and DA and kinda liked both so hope it will be good still and have similar gameplay to BGs with AI customization of DA.

 

[vortex]

NWN3, IWD3 could be cool. Even spiritual succesor would sufice.
Who owns NWN licence ?
I've have read there were some legal issues wih Atari, Wizards years back.

 

[Jaesun]

Who owns NWN licence ?

Wizards Of The Coast/HASBRO own it.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Do they have the manpower to pull off a 3D game? I think their prospects are not that great either way. The isometric market is flooded by Obsidian, inXile and Larian and SoD didn't do much to prove their abilities to create their "own" content as a team.

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

Can Beamdog pull off a brand-new D&D 5E isometric offering ? I wonder ... it'd be nice to see one instead of the shite rolling out of Obsidian, inXile and Larian these days (well, not Larian)

 

[Dorateen]

2D tile-based, then? Wouldn't that be grand.
