Does this mean, much as occurred with the 3-D shooters, we will now be exposed to a series of tatty copies that never reach the same level as that of Quake and Quake 2. What I mean is, have we done a fukyama on it, reached the ultimate point of development, and are we now on a slippy slope downward to a saturated market of inferior tat. I really am quite worried. I don't want to finish the game, becaue I feel I would be losing something important to do so.....
What do the rest of you think?[/B]

I think you have a valid point. Considering what the company is now doing.. Neverwinter Nights may be the next biggie, if it takes off like it is supposed to. It is hard to top Baldur's Gate - a game that thorough - for there was obviously a lot of thought put into it. Frankly, there would have to be godlike beings to make a game that is actually better than Baldur's Gate 1&2. Perhaps the question isn't whether or not there will be a better game out... but will there be something as engaging and challenging? It may take a couple years, and I am not the most patient of people, but I will wait and see.
