NWN1/2 really lost a lot not having long range combat and bigger battlefields and encounters.<br /><br />If it had a simple to use toolset and branching dialog I'd be really happy :)<br /><br />It would use v4 rules though. Not sure how that would be really.Corey Holcomb-Hockinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819168102509740949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-270723342797172859.post-37488808060673913172011-02-27T14:57:40.358-08:002011-02-27T14:57:40.358-08:00Most of my enjoyment from an Icewind Dale 3 would ...Most of my enjoyment from an Icewind Dale 3 would really depend on how much they'd deviate from the formula of the older games. Modern gaming and all, to this simplified and changed (beyond the ruleset which will obviousy be the case) would be a real downer. But I'd hope it'd be a fairly small-budeget game so that it could be catered somewhat to the "hardcore".<br /><br />As far as engines go, I think they could probably retool their Onyx engine (looks beautiful in the Dungeon Siege 3 vids) since they made it and all. It seems to be flexible given how it was first used for an Alien game that controlled more like Mass Effect.<br />But yeah, cramming all the rules and stuff in there would be a real challenge I think.<br /><br />Pretty surprised at how open Feargus is about it though, though I guess he was always like that. But still. Perhaps it's a way to draw some interest towards such a product.Starwarsnoreply@blogger.com
