This forum is here because a very large number of D&D players have no faith that game developers will actually make another real D&D game to follow the BG series. It is a cry for attention - a cry to the game world that a whole gaming environment is not being served and a huge paying audience is waiting for someone to spot the glaringly obvious and get going.

The problem is that the owners of the D&D intellectual property have licensed it to the world's worst game designers and Atari have delivered anything but good games and everything but real D&D RPG.

There won't be any more real D&D until the game world wakes up to this problem. There won't be any more D&D RPG until the owners of the intellectual property do something about it. All we are going to get is NWNx rubbish and similar games using the rule set but not the environment.

We know. but alas we are goiing to buy the rpg games atari develops because we prefer bad games to stupid ones.

Perhaps not focus on atari, but on Obsidian. For them it is strike two.
