Knight of the Chalice was pretty fun for a while. Definitely worth the 15 bucks or so |

Speak for yourself, I'd rather not have BG screwed with in this day and age.
Why? What is the worst thing that can happen? It sucks. In that case nothing will have changed with original BG, you ignore the sucky new thing, and nothing has changed. But it could also NOT suck, and then we get an awesome new game. To me, you can win, but you can't lose, so i don't see any problem. |

Man, that would be so awesome. Maybe improve the UI a bit too, fix the pathfinding and make it even bigger then BG2. More likely to become a cover-based shooter though, with heavy focus on gay romance and a generic save-the-world plot 
Naw, by this point I'm thinking it's questionable to have pre-rendered-3D/isometric-2D.
The problem is it takes a lot more resources to develop, and generally results in a poorer customize-ability, or even detail.
All you need to do is make it real time 3D and fix the camera angle (although not much point of fixing the camera angle).
Well, at least the moving/animated objects make sense to be in 3D — I guess having the landscape pseudo-3D could work quite well. I can think of 2 games that I think used such a method that looked really nice: Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, and Revenant. They weren't released too much later than the early infinity engine games, but had absolutely amazing graphics in comparison.
I would love to see more games using that sort of blend — the style/technology has existed for the longest time (originally games like Alone in the Dark and later Resident Evil — although those were done in ways that weren't modular, so overall still different), but I never saw many games that used it to a degree where the graphics looks REALLY great but also remain modular. The two that I mentioned earlier are the only two I can think of right now.Last edit: 2012-03-15 21:47:47 |

The worst thing that can happen is a blemish attached to the Baldur's Gate name. Having a series where, for the most part, you don't have to say 'it's great just ignore X' is a nicer thing than saying 'it's great until X, now it sucks'.
I'd rather see the same attempt at a game made with a new name entirely. |

uhh well Baldurs gate uses AD&D ruleset right and all new titles must and should use the latest ruleset.
and from what I understand 4.0 is way way easier than 2.5.... |

Aye, 2,5 is the best edition, by far - The following versions are/were way too centered around simplicity and hack&slash - I still play 2,5 with a couple of my friends, we have been playing for 15 years ^^ |

| sadly, whatever they do, if they want to use DnD it will have to be 4.0 due to licensing. |
