Don't worry Griefmaker, it takes some heavy modding before NWN looks anything like 3rd edition D&D from what I played of the original. It didn't feel like any kind of D&D to me, and I think that has to do with controlling only one guy + a henchman...people I met online refused to act like a party, but that's probably not true of the IW NWN community.

What I'm looking forward to, in order of which I expect their release

Independent remake of Quest for Glory 2

Dawn of War: Winter Assault

D&D Online

and of course, Elder Scrolls IV

I'm also looking forward to Elder Scrolls IV, but not for 2005 - more like 2006 for me. I still haven't really started ES III yet, and from what I hear that might take about a year to finish!

I hadn't heard of Dragon Age before... Sounds like a better version of Fable - which is a good thing [img]smile.gif[/img]

But the game I am waiting for this year is Sid Meier's Pirates, which should come out for the XBox in May 2005. I'm a bit of a pirate junkie and this game looks to be a top notch rpg/strategy game. The PC version got great reviews already, but I wanted to get the console version since it's more comfortable sitting on my couch than in my computer chair :D

Dragon Age is gonna be like Jade Empire, I believe.

Jade Empire is/was(since it's out now) my looking forward game of the year. Can't wait to get it!

Black & White 2, Kingdom Hearts 2.

Fight Night Round 3, or FF 11/12.
