Lionheart is the name of the next RPG developed by Black Isle Studios, and it was announced yesterday at E3. More info can be found at http://lionheart.blackisle.com/

The press release says it will include a few Fallout features. Is that promising?

Lionheart sounds like another step down the Fallout/Arcanum path. The character system is a skill and perk system. It worked rather well in Fallout giving you lots of freedom on developing different type of characters without doing stuck in a 'class' system.

By the looks of those few shots it will look nice. I always preferred non-first-person-view in cRPGs.
And the system is SPECIAL!

Finally something with Fallout rules!

Strange though... I don't see a party. I can't believe they removed it... Ahh, ok, FAQ saves the day "It's possible that some of the other characters in the world will join with you in your adventures".

And the date set is winter 2002!

Drool, yes, drool!!!

But I want those Diablolike letters changed! :mad:

Wow. That looks very promising. I hope it's as good as the premise makes it sound. I've always fancied role-playing on Earth rather than in any of the forgotten realm settings. I'll be sure to keep up to date with this one :D
