I really hope this isn't for Dungeon Siege or something like that.

Hopefully they are focusing on the Wheel of Time crpg now. It better be turnbased.

Nah, that's been going on a while already. It really will be interesting to see what they are doing next though, we know it isn't a sequel to anything they did before. Should be something out of left field like Dungeon Siege 3.

I'm expecting more disappointment and bandwagoning: http://twitter.com/Feargus/status/12990935499

Bah. Dating sim would be the best way to implement WoT. If you must insist, you can implement a strategic/RPG layer on it.

What he means is that Haba's prediction is correct: The better things go for Obsidian, the more retarded they are likely to become. Damn pity if this is the way things go, ever further into decline. I was hoping the fanboys might be correct for once.

You mean even worse combat?

And camera too. Never underestimate Obshitian's capacity of delivering the most awkward cameras conceivable. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they made the whole game on the renowned NWN2 engine.

I don't think that's possible. It could only be an incline as nowhere else to go.

Lionheart: Legacy of The Crusader.
You need to find a game with shittier TB and shittier RT combat than Arcanum.

actually, f3 and nv both have shittier RT and TB combat.

Arcanum's TB was bad but not horrible. RT was an abomination, though.
