Hmmm....... I know most of you might disagree here but these are my thoughts:

a successful game , movie or a book comes out and turns into a big success.... very nice... a sequel is soon made which is an even better success; it adds lots of new stuff and corrects mistakes of the previous part.... very nice.... now what happens is encouraged by the success hundreds of sequels suddenly come out... although they carry good original ideas I feel that later actually spoil the saga.... the storyline starts to be stretched from all possible directions to all possible extends.... not very nice...

i think warcraft is an example......... im saying warcraft 3 is an excellent agme but the storyline isnt... the storyline now got extended to the third generation.... not only that.. one level left the ending open as to what happend to prince arthas and that night-elf's brother....

there are more much better examples..

thats why i was really happy when bg2 tob was declared the final chapter.... the ending of a saga... and what a magnificent ending it was...

with so many ideas given by the members here i think it would be better, much better if you use these ideas and make a new Forgotten realms game without connecting it to bg series... just call it Heart of Cormyr.......

just my thoughts..........
