I have to say that you are partially right about the games that SSI has produced in the past. However it is a bit overgeneralizing. We are currently working on a big piece of AD&D computer history. SSI has produced close to 25 AD&D games in the past.
It is unfair to say that they are all weren't any good. There is a pretty good reason why everyone still praises the original "gold box" series.
Descent into Undermountain, Birthright,and Blood & Magic also weren't any good. I think it is with reason why SSI decided to stop producing AD&D games.
If we look at the screenshots and other published information, then we have to conclude that the game has a lot of potential. Is it fair to expect the same as BGII, probably not. You have to realize that Interplay had the opportunity to work majorly on other areas as the game engine was finished.
We will just have to wait and see. |
