I have to say that I agree. My favorite gaming series EVER was the Baldur's Gate series. I'm playing Oblivion right now but to me it's an Action game with RPG elements. There aren't any true RPG games made anymore and it's very very sad. I got so excited about Temple of Elemental Evil and it was fun for all of 2 weeks and then consistently dungeon delving and not being able to take most of the quests because they were evil quests (My character was a Paladin) really took a lot of the fun out of it for me. Plus...the storyline was NO WHERE NEAR as good as the BG series.
I'm dying for a great old-school traditional turn-based D&D 3.5 rules game with today's graphics and i'm just not sure why they're not being made. Every single RPG nowadays is what they call an "Action RPG" and half of the time, you can't tweak your own stats. It's good to know that others feel the same way. If they make a BG III, it would be one of the happiest gaming days i've had in quite awhile.
