Well that's aways off, but it gives me time to prepare - get a new vid card with some serious power, buy a graphics tablet to do the textures and so on.
When UO came out, I was panting in line to be a beta tester, along with many thousands. UO got shot out the door half baked, to say the least. It was so extremely buggy, it was hard to imagine, but worse than that was the imbalances in the game. After 3 years of UO, I was still feeling like a beta tester - they never seemed to get it right, or deliver on promises. (But the interaction with other people was great.) It would have been far far better to fix the major bugs first.
If they take time, Black Isle will hopefully live up to their high standards. So far they have been not only excellent but consistently so. I hope NWN will be their coup de grace, eliminating the need for new games for years to come.
