I'll take it. I just broadly want a good game with that theme.
No One Lives Forever
An ingenius duo of comedy spy shooters released in the very early 00s that are now almost impossible to find due to IP complications.
These games deserve a sequel or at least a remaster. Sadly, the series seems almost forgotten about now due to it not being on sale anywhere.
Singleplayer part of SWTOR is unironically a pretty decent sequel to the kotor games. The MMO part is rather ass, though.Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3 written by Chris Avellone.
I'd appreciate even something similar to GK3. I am desparate like that.Gabriel Knight
Not a chance in hell, and that 2014 hatchet job of a remake seems to have nailed that coffin shut. Fucking 90s decline of the genre, fucking cheapo remakes, and fucking corporate asshats deducing that because a cheap remake nobody asked for nor promoted didn't sell no one wants to play a proper sequel.
Worst part is, you could totally do it on the cheap, especially now. Use AGS, hire decent pixel artists, insert good writing and decent puzzle design, grab some local theatre actors and let them play the characters, not just do a Tim Curry impression. Poof, there's your game, no need to make it 4D or VR, or Fortnite DLC, or whatever the fuck kids play these days. Hell, file off the serial numbers, call it Babriel Bnight, and see if Activision even notices in 2021.
At this point I'd settle for a CYOA, or just a novel, but that's an even smaller moneybag than an AGS(-like) project.
From what I have seen of the mmo it looks okay. But Knights of the Old Republic 2 was so good that I would rather have a true sequel made by 2004 obsidian. The Old Republic looks like it's continue's with KOTO1 more lighthearted cheesy writing then obsidian's darker tone.Singleplayer part of SWTOR is unironically a pretty decent sequel to the kotor games.

It's also one of the few RPGs -- games in general -- I'm aware of that lets you play through the same story with so many different POVs.
Each class has its own story and tone, so it really depends on the story. Some of them are rather Avellonian in their writing and obviously took heavy inspiration from kotor2(e.g., Sith Agent and Sith Warrior)From what I have seen of the mmo it looks okay.

I like GK3, warts and all, but I do get the complaints about it: it's an odd game that's a clear product of its development woes. So, if we take the interface... arguably it's a pretty terrible design in every way, it doesn't fit the game they were doing (a Myst-like interface for a 3rd person game in full 3D without node-based movement, huh), but that said I appreciate how it puts you right there, inside the game world, and how it hands over the camera to you, for you to explore that world. It comes across as a bizarre, detached thing sitting on top of the game rather than a comfortable and invisible means to interact with said game, but it works from that very specific point of view, and it so happens that it plays to one of GK3's greatest assets. This is what a lack of focus testing can get you, which is also something I like.I'd appreciate even something similar to GK3. I am desparate like that.Gabriel Knight

But you're probably right.
Hell no to that, I'm glad you're not the IP holder.Arcanum
I was talking about Beamdog's atrocity.What is numa numa then?
