So I just got done trying Diablo 3 beta (bear with me please). I am not a big fan of click and watch stuff explode games but I could not help enjoy the isometric graphics with really nice artwork. I could not help but think to my self how incredibly awsome it would be if I was playing a new Baldurs Gate! .

Blizzard seems to have stuck to thier roots. I wish Bioware would get back to thiers. I would go nuts for a game witha Diablo 3 style engine and a Bioware old school RPG story and gameplay. Maybe its just me. Anyone else have thought?

I, too, would love such a game, though I'm not sure it'd be a Baldur's Gate title, since those games were all about CHARNAME's story, which reached a very definite conclusion with Throne of Bhaal.

(If anyone says "The game can star CHARNAME's child!" then I will murder you in your sleep)

But BioWare isn't going to make that kind of game. They've been fully assimilated by EA, and like all major publishers the only games they're interested in making are shooters and action/adventure games, since those are the only genres they think will sell. (Forgetting, of course, that the BG games sold around two million copies each, on a single platform, and over ten years ago when the market was smaller, and I highly doubt that the people who enjoyed the gameplay of those titles just disappeared off the face of the earth)

EA is evil, in time they'll destroy Bioware like they've done with other companies that they assimilated.

Bioware should have stuck with the D&D series, they had a good thing going.

Isometric RPGs are only made by indie devs nowadays. Look into some of Jeff Vogel's games, for example.

For the rest, maybe look out for Obsidian's unannounced project.

Yes look out, especially for BUGS!

I must agree with the isometric games (is that what they are called?) giving the best feeling, at least when there are tactics involved.

Isometric games don't require a film studio to produce, unlike the 3D first-person variety. I imagine that it is costly and time-consuming to produce credible realistic first-person games.

Me, too, would like an Infinity engine style game modernized in the way D3 looks.
And it would sell, I'm sure.
Sadly, Bioware (= EA) seems to differ.

EA: "You will be assimilated. Your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile."
Bioware: "We shall resist!"
EA: "You will fail."

Sound familiar?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I would love to have a modern DnD rpg that didn't completely suck. Lol.

I mean the latest was NWN 2 wasn't it? And frankly it isn't great.

As much as I love Obsidian, there is a reason they are nicknamed Bugsidian. Not only that but with the NWN2 campaign they make a number of odd story telling decisions that seem completely pointless and silly (see: arrival at neverwinter and having a literal door blocking your way in progessing the story forcing you to do pointless busy work to pass the time).

And before that was Dark Alliance, and boy I can't even start describing how bad that game is.

lol.

Actually, i thought NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer was a pretty good game, though i agree with you that the OC was rather mediocre.

[ScotGaymer]

I wouldn't have minded the "busy work" if they had a point. Like they contributed overall to the plot and whatnot but they don't. Like in NWN 1 when the Rich District is closed off your character actually does stuff to get it back open and to resolve the situation.

In NWN 2 its nothing like that.

There's nothing worse than playing a game and then having the game effectively tell you that you just spent 10/20 hours dicking around for no reason.

  The OC for NWN was even worse. But I do agree about MotB being the best official content out of both NWN games.   Obsidian is the only hope these days as far as a non indie developer. forums.obsidian.net/blog/1/entry-158-if-obsidian-kickstarter/#commentsStart  Remember, Obsidian and Trokia games get better with age.   Bugs get fixed over time.

Have you ever heard of Knights of the Chalice ?  Not big on story, but the tactical turn based d&d combat is done very well.  www.heroicfantasygames.com/

Same goes for Temple of Elemental Evil.  Get the latest Circle of 8 modpack if your interested. www.moddb.com/mods/circle-of-eight-modpack

Try Wizardry 8.

[Flamedance]

@bussinrounds

Yeah, i always felt NWN1 was trying to be Diablo and Baldur's gate at the same time and failed at both. Never played Knights of the Chalice, but i love ToEE.
