Q: When do you feel we will ever see another Fallout or BG2 type epic game?

A: I'll counter with a question of my own are several dozen hours of gameplay really necessary for a game to be an epic? Does it necessarily even help? You mention Fallout, but Fallout didn't have to take that long to complete. When I think epic RPGs, I think of games that captivated me with their story, their world, and fun. Fallout certainly fit the bill for me on that count. By that definition of RPGs, I think the future looks pretty rosy for the fans.

But if you mean strictly a long epic game I believe so. I'm an optimist. I think if you make a fantastic long game people will play it, tell their friends, and it will sell. I know examples of good games for whatever reason didn't sell, but usually a good game sells well.
