"Bioware is currently NOT developing BG-3"

[midnight_storm]

moot?

[fable]

A moot point is one that doesn't matter, for some reason. For example, "It's a moot point whether ETA Hoffman or Hans Christian Andersen would have made a better game, since they're both dead, and neither ever saw a computer, much less programmed for one."

And I think a LOT of people would do that. BG3 would be a far better strategy than NWN2 simply because it's fans are alive and kicking years after the game died out. I remember people talking before NWN hit the markets that it was supposed to be some sort of BG3. A lot of people would check out an eventual BG3! But I seriousely doubt that it would be as good as bg2.. we live in a world where money matters the most and for them the name Baldur's Gate is just a money-making name.
Somebody said that he was enraged when a friend tells him Morrowind is better than BG2.. well.. At the time of the release, considering the epic story-line, the time spent on side-quests, the freedom and a lot of things thought "useless" by action-players I think Morrowind is a far better game than most. For the first time in my gaming life.. if i wanted to climb a mountain.. i could (in an RPG).
To be sure: BG3 will hit the markets.. if not now.. in the future. They are probabily to arrogant to let a good game die and not try to "better" it with random 3D-graphics and a stupid save-the-world storyline.

This entire discussion makes me almost depressed.

Why did Atari have to come? Why did Interplay have to close? How can NWN be considered a 'good' game?
What has become of the gaming industry, especially one as unique as the roleplaying section. I mean, we always knew that games such as Quake, Unreal or C&C Generals were fundamentally simply money machines. But has it really come to the point where the free spirit and independence of the small-time (compared to the other genres) RPG companies are as terrible as EA Games or, well... Atari.

Oh, well. Sorry about this "emotional outburst" and the blatant off-topicing, but it had to be said.

There doesn't seem that much for a potential BGIII to tail onto anyway. Spoiler follows - You would either start as a god (or demi-god) or mortal at an extremely high level and TOB already stated what happened to the other characters.

A BGIII would just be name-dropping in hope of a lot more interest and sales .
