At this stage it will be the last game - I think that the Infinity Engine may be in its death throes as far as Bio is concerned. They see the future in 3D and the Aurora engine used in NWN.

I have a hunch that before too long, when the IE is retired, that it may become Open Source eventually and the onus for creating/developing any additions may shift to the modding/customizing community. That's just my opinion, though...
