Oh.

Well, as Bioware won't be doing it, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Obsidian will probably be given the titles.

Which is a shame.

Still, there's always a chance they'll develop a worthwhile bug free sequal one day.

FUCKING HELL! GET OUT OF MY MIND!

First of all there's fallout 3, then all of a sudden diablo 3 now baldurs gate 3?! Fuck!

Next there will be a new syndicate and a new dungeon keeper!

I liked nwn, 2 was buggy as fuck but I enjoyed it. Add on was gash, second add on will be installed soon so I'll tell you all about it in short violent words unless it's any good.

Baldurs gate 1/2 - up there with fallout as all time greats for me. I don't think obsidians record is as gash as treyarchs, they at least have some mitigating factors, duke nukem is just hyperbole, that shit is old as me! I'm looking forward to a bg3.

COD5 isn't that broke once you get the kitten guns turned off. Few niggles but still enjoyable.

KOTOR 2 would have been brilliant if LucasArts would have let Obsidian finish it instead of making them rush it out for a Christmas release. It was obviously pushed out the door before it was done.

Well, it would have been "good", dunno about brilliant, but I do share those sentiments, it was painfully obvious that lots was cut out.

Depending on your way through the game, you don't get to use Hk47 for long, and all the plot dialogue with HK47 and the copies gears up to find the Assassin Droid's home planet, sadly cut from the game.
Not to mention the lols at some of the podracing.
The entire ending was diabolical though, and about 1/2 to 3/4th's through the game it suddenly becomes very rushed and crap.

Shame on that, but it's one of the reasons why I'm wary of Obsidian developing other games, they seem rather prone to having to rush titles out or bowing to the publishers.

Baldur's Gate 3 is something I really want, though I subconsciously know it'll suck.

I know it's true. You know it's true. I know that you know it's true. And I know that you know that I know that you know it's true.

Chances are working against us.

Enjoyable indeed, but I somehow believe Treyarch's assignment was "here's a good engine, break it and create a game that's more broken than UO".

I've not played CoD5 multi without kitten guns yet so I'll reserve judgment. Regarding the single player, it's not bad per se, just...'meh' is the best way I can sum it up. It's so inoffensive I actually find it quite offensive. I'm not saying that all new games should break the mold, but at least they could have made it feel slightly different to UO. I really have no pressing urge to go back to it.
